A device for styling hair in which a plurality of spacers are slidably mounted on parallel, longitudinally-disposed elastic strands which, when not in use, are normally not under tension. In the preferred embodiment, the spacers (e.g., beads) preferably are of at least two significantly different sizes and are disposed in a pattern according to which each bead (other than the two end beads) is adjacent to two beads of a different size or color thus facilitating identification when the device is being mounted on the hair at the back of a person's head. The number of spacers preferably is at least equal to one plus the number of locks of hair selected for inclusion and retention in a particular geometric styling configuration. In use, spacers are temporarily separated by stretching of the elastic strands so that selected locks of hair can be passed between the elastic strands and separated from other hair locks by inter-positioned spacers, the locks of hair being held in a desired position by pressure remaining after manually imparted tension has been released. Also included are methods of use of the device to effectuate selected hair styles.
