Abstract
A method for making and pony tail holder for securely holding the hair of a user includes a band of elastic material with fabric ring substantially surrounding the band. A portion of the band can be exposed through a pair of apertures in the fabric. The apertures are separated by a bar tack stitch. The exposed band is pulled out of the apertures in the fabric ring to form a loop in the band and concomitantly causes concentric shrinking of the fabric ring central opening. A ponytail or other object can be placed through the loop of the exposed band. The exposed band can then be twisted to form additional loops to pull the ponytail through to tighten the hold on the ponytail. The ponytail can be optionally placed through the central portion of the fabric ring and held securely in place. The fabric ring is not twisted permitting a decorative design to be displayed without obstruction.
