Problems solved by technology

However, such headband and hair wrap have a common drawback that the elastic band is formed in a loop shape to encircle the head of the user so as to retain the covering annulus in position.

The scrunchy, headband, and hair wrap are not interchangeable for use since the scrunchy is too small to encircle the head of the user and the elastic band of the headband and hair wrap is too big and bulky to tighten up the ponytail of the user.
