Abstract: A convoluted internally stressed rubber member forms several twisted crossover loop portions. The user's fingers force open one or more loop portions to insert varying hair lengths, separate hair-pieces and/or decorative objects such as jewelry or strips of fabric, to be held therein. When the user's fingers separate from the device, the loop portions contract and grip the inserted items, with ‘non holding’ loops left free to contract onto themselves. The twisted rubber member is completely covered around its circumference with decorative fabric material. Many fabric compositions can be combined with varying rubber lengths, widths and shapes, and both can be incorporated into differing decorative or functional holding devices to create varying and unique holding embodiments. The device can further hold removable or attachable hair extensions, and or decorative items away from where the users hair is being held, or jointly together to create unique holding patterns.
