I just bought a whirlastyle from Claire's ($3.57 for a size Large) and I wish I had found this before I bought the Hairagami!
It's a thin, hard rubber strip with a slit in the middle and you lock the end together to make a circle. It comes in large, medium, and small, and in different colors.
I made a classic bun in half the time it took me with hairagami (plus no slapped wrists if the ends of the hairagami closed before I wanted them to) and I didn't break a single hair. Also, it was much easier to slid my hair around the whirlastyle to cover it up. It's so much simpler and more gentle on the hair.
I've included pictures in my How To section in my hair gallery
