Abstract: A decorative ponytail hair styling device comprises four elastic loops of equal circumference attached to a decorative strand at equidistant intervals from each other, with one of the elastic loops attached at each end of the decorative strand. The decorative strand intervals are semirigid, non-collapsing but able to be curved. The decorative strand is flexible at the points where the inner elastic loops are attached to it. The device is capable of being positioned in a variety of configurations while maintaining the interval distances between adjacent elastic loops during hairstyling, thereby enabling creation of a great variety of ponytail and mini ponytail hairstyles, including rather unique hairstyles, symmetrically, proportionately and securely with ease. The device is operated by wrapping one elastic loop at a time or two nonadjacent elastic loops at once (together) around sections of hair or all the hair in different positions, combinations and manners to create hairstyles.
