Abstract
A quick-release hair tie comprising a length of elastic with a spring-loaded cord-lock integrally attached to one end of the elastic. The elastic has a nub at the other free end. The nub is removably attached to the cord-lock, creating a loop, by pressing the button of the cord-lock, placing the nub in the cord-lock opening and releasing the cord-lock button to secure the nub within the cord-lock chamber, creating a looped hair tie. The tie can be secured around and around a ponytail as one would do with a traditional looped ponytail hair tie. However, when the user is ready to release the tie from the hair, they simply press the button and the knot or nub automatically releases from the cord-lock, which releases the hair tie without having to pull or tug it out of the hair.
