Abstract: A device for assisting with the styling of hair, such as with a flat ironing process. The device includes a tubular body having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the tubular body including an axial hair passage that runs from the first end to the second end. The tubular body or other elements associated with the tubular body are elastic in nature so to constrict about and removably retain hair that is pulled through the tubular body in preparation for styling. At least the axial hair passage is comprised of, or covered or coated with, a material having a low coefficient of friction to facilitate deliberate removal of sections of hair from the tubular body during styling.
