Abstract: A hair fastener intended to be used with retaining combs to retain hair in a style as desired by a wearer. The hair fastener includes a fabric tube, a pocket disposed at each end of the tube, and an elastic band running along each edge of the tube. The wearer may easily insert into and remove from each of the pockets a retaining comb. The pockets in combination with retaining combs and the elastic bands of the hair fastener permit the wearer to securely and attractively maintain the desired hair style without breaking or damaging the hair.

Abstract: A detachable flower wire tie including a fabric stem enclosing a pliable metal wire, the wire having a hook formed at each of its ends, a pair of bulbs made by wrapping the corresponding ends of the stem around each of the hooks, and a pair of detachable fabric rings, each enclosing an elastic band designed to slidably engage the fabric stem in a functional and decorative manner, particularly when the flowerette and its corresponding bulb are in close proximity to one another and the stem ends are twisted together, similar to a pair of interlocking flowers.
