ABSTRACT:
Various embodiments of a headband are described, each having a ponytail receiving feature. In some of the embodiments, the ponytail-receiving feature is a separate and distinct ring-like element. In other embodiments, the ponytail-receiving feature is an opening created in the headband itself. The headband may be formed of one or more braided strands. A four-strand braid may have two groups of two strands each, at a ponytail-receiving location, to form the ponytail-receiving feature. In an embodiment, one long strand may be braided back onto itself, its two ends forming loops for defining the extremities of an integral ponytail-receiving feature. In a preferred embodiment, a relatively long strand and a relatively short strand are braided to form a headband with integral ponytail-receiving feature. An optional visor element is also described.
