A thick hair elastic includes a band that comprises a continuous loop. The band may be formed from a yarn that has been woven into the continuous loop or fibers that have been woven into the continuous loop. Opposite edges of the band may be rolled inwardly around a circumference of the band. A central opening of the thick hair band, which is defined by and extends through the band, may have a size sufficient to enable it to be worn around an individual's wrist, like a bracelet. Methods of manufacturing and using thick hair elastics are also disclosed.

Hair elastic

A cutting apparatus configured to hold an elongate element, such as a ribbon, in a desired orientation as the elongate element is cut into two sections. A cutting element of such a cutting apparatus may be confined to a single orientation relative to that of the elongate element, reducing or eliminating the likelihood of misalignment between the cutting element and the elongate element immediately before the elongate element is cut. In some embodiments, the cutting apparatus, or even its cutting element, may be configured to seal the newly cut ends of the elongate element. Methods for cutting and or sealing elongate elements, such as ribbons, are also disclosed.
