Abstract
A fastening device that is adjustable in length and diameter and which is visually attractive is provided. The device can be easily positioned about a wearer's hair and fastened thereabout, and is resistant to creeping down a hair bundle. The device comprises a body component having first and second ends with end connectors thereon for connecting the first and second ends together to form a cylindrical shape that can be positioned about a hair bundle. A plurality of body components can be connected to each other to form a hair fastening device of a desired length. An end component can be attached to the body component, and can optionally be adjusted in diameter.
