Abstract
A ponytail holder includes a hinged pair of first and second arms with first and second opposed elastic slings bridging respective arms. The arms have inner surfaces. When the ponytail holder is closed on a bunch of hair, the arms form a substantially cylindrical shape, and opposed elastic slings extend to accommodate the thickness of the bunch of hair. Fastening device are provided for releasably fastening the arms in a closed position. First and second non-slip rubber-type formations define first and second elastic slings respectively. Each elastic sling has a non-slip gripping surface. First and second elastic slings are supported at each end to bridge first and second inner surfaces, respectively.
