    Abstract: A hair retaining device comprising a rod with two elongate helical coils surrounding a portion of the rod. The coils are attached only at one end of the rod and are offset from one another by 180 degrees. In use, the end of the rod is slid through a desired hair style using a weaving motion to pick up small portions of the hair. Once the rod is in place, it is screwed into a user's hair and the hair strands are retained. To remove the device, the rod is unscrewed to loosen from the hair strands and the rod is then pulled out of user's hair.
