A device for holding hair in a bundle comprises a body member configured in a generally spiral manner from proximate a main axis of the device to an opening for receiving hair. Portions of the body member that are radially adjacent to each other with respect to the main axis present confronting surfaces for applying pressure to hair and define a generally spirally shaped hair-receiving volume. A sufficient extent of the body member preferably comprises resilient material for allowing an ordinary user to increase the hair-receiving volume, during insertion of the device into a bundle of hair, more than about 50 percent in an outermost 180 DEG spiral region bounded by the hair-receiving opening. When the device is unflexed, the hair-receiving volume preferably decreases in radial dimension with respect to the main axis more than about 15 percent from a radially outer, to a radially inner, portion of one spiral turn of the hair-receiving volume other than innermost and outermost 45 DEG spiral regions of the hair-receiving volume, so as to create an increasing holding pressure on hair received within the hair-receiving volume as the hair is moved radially inwardly along the one spiral turn. The body member preferably includes a handle to facilitate manipulation of the device into a hair-securing position. |
