Benefits of technology

[0014] an end band for making different hair styles, which is easy to use, reduces the risk of the end band sliding off, and allows different hair styles,
[0064] In one embodiment of the present invention said at least two elastic end bands assume the same diameters when in unstretched condition. This makes it possible to use any of said end bands as the first end band, for example by wrapping it around the base ponytail, and then making a number of equally thick ponytails with the other end bands.

Problems solved by technology

Persons having thin and / or light hair and who use elastic end bands may experience problems using an elastic end band to maintain the ponytail / pigtail, because the elastic end band will slowly slide off the ponytail / pigtail.
This may be a source of irritation, and it is time-consuming to redo the hair; furthermore there is a risk of losing the end band.
