Abstract
A hair styling implement 10, which is also sufficiently decorative for it to be worn in the hair after styling as an adornment, is in the form of an elongated, rectangular wire frame 11 of pliable material covered by a fabric 16 such as velour, through which extends a central, elongated opening 17 (FIG. 1). In use, a section of hair 18 is received through the opening and the implement is rolled under or over the hair until the hair is wound tightly about the implement at the scalp, opposite ends of the implement then being brought together and twisted together thereby to secure a bun in place.
