A hair band (1) comprises a strip-shaped carrier structure (2) and several hairs (4) which extend from the carrier structure (2) in a main direction (5) running perpendicular to the direction (3) of main extension of the carrier structure (2). The ends (8) of single hairs are stitched through the elastic foil (6) forming the outer layer of the carrier structure (2) and fixed to the carrier structure (2) by gluing them to the foil (6) only. The fixed ends of the hairs (4), at the back side of the foil (6), also run in the main direction (5) of the hairs (4).
