A hair scrunchie is described. The hair scrunchie may include a covering that includes a head and feet or other lower appendages located on opposite sides of an opening. The hair scrunchie may be movable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration and may include a lock to maintain the hair scrunchie in a configuration until actuated by the user.

The current invention is a device, method and system for adorning type 4 hair styled in a complex pattern formed by interlacing strands of hair using an acute angled hair pin. The preferred device of the instant invention is a decorative hair pin, made of a strand of wire formed of a resilient material, with the first leg substantially longer than the second leg joined by an u-shape bend composed of an acute angle. In the preferred method of the invention, the longer leg of the pin is inserted into a section of woven hair in the opposite direction of the plait and is positioned parallel to the wears scalp under length the bulk of the plait. In use the decorative ornament is the only part of the invention showing in the user's hair. The device may come in different lengths, angular degrees and thicknesses.

Encapsulated hair bands and methods for use are disclosed. An encapsulated hair band includes an encapsulated hair band, including: a horseshoe shaped hair band, having a proximal and distal end, the hair band including, flexible material capable of flexing outwardly whereby the proximal and distal ends may be displaced from an unbiased position to a biased position to fit about the wearer's head; a soft gel; and a cover, including two or more pieces, cooperating to form a cover, the two or more pieces fastened together so as to encapsulate said horseshoe shaped hair band and said soft gel, said soft gel encapsulated so that when the encapsulated hair band is placed upon the wearer's head, the soft gel is between the horseshoe shaped hair band and the cover.

The invention pertains to the restriction of movement of one or two cochlear implant processors affixed inside of a decorative hairbow. The functionality of a concealed pocket within the hairbow is to limit the movement of a cochlear implant processor while concealing the presence of the processor. Concealed pockets are located bilaterally on the hairbow to provide users with either a unilateral or bilateral wearing option. The hairbow is affixed to a retainment item that can be attached to the user's hair or head. Due to the decorative nature of the hairbow, young cochlear implant users may be more inclined to wear the cochlear device.

A method to enable formation of ornamental circlets, comprising: forming a band that comprises a first end, a second end, a first ornamental motif positioned adjacent to the first end, and a second ornamental motif positioned adjacent to the second end; forming a tab in the first end adjacent to the first ornamental motif; forming a notch in the first end adjacent to the tab; forming slits in the second end adjacent to the second ornamental motif, twisting the band longitudinally 360 degrees; passing the slits through the notch to position the first ornamental motif under the second ornamental motif; and positioning the second ornamental motif under the tab. Forming the tab comprises forming the tab to have longitudinal symmetrically along the band. Forming the notch comprises forming the notch to angularly extend from a periphery of the band to the tab.

A bead (10) comprising first and second members (12, 14) pivotally secured adjacent first sides (16) thereof such that the first and second members (12, 14) are pivotable between a closed position and an open position. First and second openings (28) are defined between the first and second side members (12, 14) when in the closed position. A first resilient pad (33) is provided on the first side surface of the first member (12) and a second resilient pad (35) on the first side surface of the second member (14). The first and second resilient pads (33. 35) include complementary ridges (42) on adjacent inner surfaces (40) such that when the first and second members (12, 14) are in the closed position, the ridges (42) engage to deflect the hair (11) passing through the bead (10) from the first opening (28) to the second opening (28).

A hair barrette is provided. The hair barrette has a decorative member defining an outwardly facing surface and an inwardly facing surface, and a closure device. The closure device includes a lever and first and second seat members arranged at opposite ends of the decorative member. One end of the lever is hingedly connected to the second seat member at which the lever is pivotably movably with respect to the decorative member. The closure device is provided with a bridge member raised from the inwardly facing surface of the decorative member and connecting the first and second seat members. The first and second seat members and the lever are made of a first plastic(s) material and the bridge member is made from a more flexible second plastic(s) material. The bridge member is made of polymeric material, has a hardness of Shore D30-70, and is extendible in length to 150-300%.

A hair bow with at least one integral reclosable compartment is disclosed. The hair bow can include two or more wings, with one or more wing being a reclosable compartment. The compartment can be opened and closed by use of a zipper, a button, a snap, a tongue-in-groove closure, or other reclosure mechanism.

A breakage resistant light bulb headband having increased flexibility includes a single piece injection-molded main body with integral bulb holding structures, a clip-on battery case, and wiring that connects light sources and a power source in the battery case by extending along an outside surface of the headband so as to eliminate the need for an internal passage, and a relatively thick multiple piece construction.

A hairband extends along a section of a circumference of a circle having a virtual centre point M. The hairband has a first end portion having a first end, a second end portion having a second end, and a middle portion. The middle portion includes at least two strings of material and having different elasticity.
