A bobble (or ponytailer, ponytail holder, hair band or hair tie) is a gadget used to fasten hair, particularly long hair, into a hairstyle (usually a ponytail). Two kinds of hair tie are the scrunchie and the hairpin. Hair ties are useful in securing one's hair back to keep it away from the face and to give some style to hair.
Another term is a "hair binder".
A new trend of hair tie started to emerge in 2009 made from a strip elastic with the two ends tied into a knot. It is commonly referred to as a "Kitsch Hair Tie".
