Hair tie

This is usually done as part of a hairstyle such as pigtails, bunches, or ponytails for straight, wavy, and loosely curled hair, and referred to as afro puffs, bunny tails, and "pineapples" for highly curled and highly textured natural hair.

Two common types of hair tie are the scrunchie[1] and the elastic.

The term can also include a fixed tie or rubber band which is placed through or around strands to hold specific parts of hair together, rather than tie it or clasp them together like a hair clip.

[2][3] The early to mid 19th century and the modernization of the rubber industry[4] allowed for use of rubber in clothing, which would ultimately include early elastic hair ties.

Then in 1986, the scrunchie was invented by Rommy Revson and became a popular variation of the hair tie.
