A hair retainer (10) holds a ponytail of a user while selectively covering a desired portion of the ponytail. The retainer includes a sleeve (12) having a top loop (14), which may include a tie (100), proximate one end positionable near the head of a user to gather the hair and secure the ponytail. A bottom loop (16), secured to gather the opposite end of the sleeve, restrains the hair of the ponytail. The bottom loop (16) also grips the hair to position the bottom loop (16) and set the effective length (28) of the sleeve (12) relative to the ponytail. The tie (100) may be formed of an elastic material. A plurality of gathers (18, 20, 34) may be distributed along the sleeve (12) around the circumference of the sleeve (12), positioning and blousing the sleeve (12) between gathers (18, 20, 34), and between the top and bottom loops (14, 16). The sleeve may assist in isolating the hair from contamination and damage in medical and industrial environments, and from interference with work by hair falling into a user's face. The sleeve (12) may also assist in reducing contamination of controlled environments such as hospitals, precision mechanical and electronic manufacturing rooms, clean-rooms, and food preparation sites by hair and dust and from electrostatic discharge.
