Nope. How can a non-elastic cloth band stay in one's hair without using a knot, or bow? How will the length of the non-elastic cloth band be controlled? A good example of a non-elastic cloth band is a ribbon, and a ribbon will only stay attached if it is tied in a bow, or in a knot.

band (noun):
1. a thin, flat strip of some material for binding, confining, trimming, protecting, etc.: a band on each bunch of watercress.
2. a fillet, belt, or strap: a band for the hair; a band for connecting pulleys.
4. a strip of paper or other material serving as a label: a cigar band.
5. a plain or simply styled ring, without mounted gems or the like: a thin gold band on his finger.

And you're wrong, it was my father who put the bows in my hair to make me look handsome; father, not mother; handsome, not pretty. Shows how much you know smarty pants.
