A brush that delivers a flow of air to an individual's head while she brushes her hair with the brush includes a handle and a head, or barrel, with a styling surface from which bristles protrude. Air is delivered to the hair through apertures in the styling surface. Air flow is generated by a fan and its motor, which reside within the head of the brush. With the fan and the motor in the head of the brush, a maximum dimension across the handle (e.g., its diameter, etc.) may be small enough for an individual with smaller hands to hold and manipulate the brush.

A claw type or octopus type hair clip includes a first side, a second side, a hinge pin that pivotally couples the first side to the second side, and a lock that prevents the first side and the second side from undesirably pivoting to an open arrangement. The hair clip may include features, such as tabs that may be pressed together, that release the lock to enable the hair clip to be opened and placed over an object, such as an individual's hair. When lock-releasing features are released, the lock engages, enabling the first side and second side of the hair clip to be pivotally closed while preventing the first side and second side from pivotally opening.

An elastic bead includes a body and a channel extending through the body. The channel may be expanded to receive an object, such as a tuft or braid of hair. Once placed over the object, the body may be configured to resiliently engage the object. Such resilient engagement may be effected without doubling, tripling or otherwise twisting and wrapping the elastic bead around the object. Methods for applying and removing the elastic beads are disclosed, as are assemblies that provide ready access to and ready storage for elastic beads.
