Styling tools and methods achieve polished-looking, ponytail hair styles even with thick, textured, coiled or kinky hair types. A tubular sleeve of flexible material includes adjustable front and back openings. A user position the sleeve such that the front opening is proximate to the hairline, using the tool to compress and smooth the hair until a desired ponytail style is achieved, at which time the back opening is cinched around the base of the ponytail. Different embodiments facilitate high- and low-pony styles. The tool is easily moved and removed once a desired hair style has been established, reducing excessive manipulation and pulling on the hair, while minimizing stress and breakage to the delicate edges around the hairline.

Hair curling devices comprise a length of multi-stranded solid copper wire having ring crimp terminals secured to opposing ends. A fabric tube is situated about the length of multi-stranded copper wire and has first and second end portions that define corresponding fabric holes. The fabric tube is secured to the ring crimp terminals and prior to attachment, is longer that the wire/ring crimp terminal assembly so that the fabric tube is gathered about the multi-stranded copper wire. Hair bundles captured by the hair curling device form hair curls after a suitable exposure period. In some examples, flexible members other than copper wire are used, and the fabric tube and the wire/ring crimp terminal assembly can be secured to form a straight section or to form a loop.
