Abstract
A hair holder includes a tube formed of a sheet in such a design as to allow a hair bundle to be inserted from a one-end opening at one end of the tube toward an other-end opening at the other end thereof. The tube includes an integration mechanism in the vicinity of the one-end opening. The integration mechanism is for a clip-type fixing member having a pair of pinchers. The one-end opening is openable and closable by operating the clip-type fixing member having been integrated with the tube.
