Abstract
Disclosed is a spiral spring hair barrette assembly, useful for holding ponytails and other decorative hair configurations. The barrette consists of the combination of a comb and a flat spiral spring to which the comb is attached. The spiral spring has an inside and outside surface such that when the barrette spring is coiled, the inside surface coils around the ponytail being held. Projecting from the inside surface are combed teeth which also fix the barrette in place relative to the hair. The barrette is decoratively covered with fabric of various designs and materials.
