Abstract
The invention provides headbands and barrettes and methods for securing headbands, barrettes, and hair. The headbands and barrettes remain in in a desired place during use and hold the user's hair in in a desired place during use. The headbands and barrettes use a hook and loop fastener (the hook portion of a hook and loop fastener system) to interact with the user's hair during use and hold the headband or barrette and the user's hair in place.
