Hair ties for men, also known as hairbands, are elastic accessories designed to secure and style hair. A common example is the ponytail holder, used to tie hair into a ponytail at the crown of the head.
These hair ties serve multiple functions. They keep hair out of the face, enhance hairstyle aesthetics, and provide comfort during physical activities. Historically, hair ties were primarily used by women, but their popularity among men has grown in recent years.
