Problems solved by technology

The elastic hair ties that can be found on the market today are very generic in their construction and design and do not effectively address the needs of the consumer.

As a result, these products do not address the actual thickness of texture of an individual's hair.

This does not allow the user to have a product that is more suited for their needs.

The products currently on the market are inexpensive and do not perform well or last very long due to basic problems with the quality of the material used in the construction.

In order to keep prices low, the elastic material used is inferior and has a very short life span, both from retention of elasticity and breakage standpoint.

A basic design flaw is a built in weakness in the product where a metal “crimp” is used to attach two ends of the hair tie together that creates a point of failure when used repeatedly.

This patent describes a hair tie only, having an classic member extendable toward opposing ends and complementary fasteners but does not have the capabilities of being cut to different length and used as a bracelet or anklet.

This patent describes a ponytail cover that includes an elastic band but does not deal with the hair tie and does not have the capabilities of being cut to different lengths and used as a bracelet or anklet.

This patent describes a looped fastener having a fabric covered elasticized member having a thin, substantially rectangular cross-sectional configuration but would additionally not function well as a bracelet or anklet.

This patent describes a hair bun kit and process which allows a hair bun to be easily and quickly formed but will not work well as a hair tie, bracelet or anklet.

None of these previous efforts, however, provides the benefits attendant with the Elastic Hair, Bracelet and Anklet Cord.
