A hair clip includes a first clamping body having a first base portion and a first clamping portion, a second clamping body having a second base portion and a second clamping portion, and a joint by which the first base portion and the second base portion are coupled to one another along a swivel axis. An elastic element forces the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion into a combined position. A first actuator is arranged on the first base portion for moving the first clamping portion relative to the second clamping portion from the combined position into a spread position. Further, the first base portion includes a receptacle for receiving an element of the first actuator so that the first actuator is movable through the receptacle relative to the first base portion from a first position into a second position relative to the first base portion.

An apparatus includes a hair clasp configured to affix to the hair on a person's head. The hair clasp may include a quick release latch that allows the hair clasp to remain in a locked position and alternatively an unlocked position. The hair clasp may have an upper-portion and a lower-portion which may be pivotably connected. The upper portion and the lower portion of the hair clasp may include interlacing teeth coated with rubber to provide an additional clamping force when attached to the hair. A handle is included that may be configured to be gripped with one hand. A tether mechanically connects the hair-clasp to the handle at a predetermined length. The apparatus for oral sex may further be configured to be themed. The apparatus is useful for suggestive play.

A hinge having dual axes includes two hinge members each having a hinge leaf and one or more knuckles, a pivot pin received in a longitudinally extending bore in each knuckle, each pivot pin also received in one of two apertures in one or more connector plates that interconnect the hinge members, and one or more springs biasing the hinge members toward a closed position, so that the knuckles are rotatably disposed adjacent to each other, each hinge member independently rotatable about one of two pivot axes, and only a single seam is presented between the two knuckles as the hinge members move between open and closed configurations. In one embodiment a connector incorporating the connecting plates covers and hides the springs from view.

A weighted hair accessory device is provided, wherein the hair accessory device includes a main body including a first movable arm and a second movable arm, wherein the main body is configured to move between an open and a closed position; a hinge element pivotally connecting a first end of the first movable arm to a first end of the second movable arm; and a securing device having a first latching element located at a second end of the first movable arm and a second latching element located at a second end of the second movable arm, wherein the securing device is configured to releasably secure the main body in the closed position. The hair accessory device is configured to apply weight to a portion of hair in order to straighten and/or prevent shrinkage of the portion of hair during drying, e.g., without the use of chemical substances or heat.

A hairpiece holder that includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion may include one or more protrusions extending therefrom, which protrusion(s) may be adapted to position at least one hairpiece relative to the first portion. The second portion may be couplable to the first portion. And when the first and second portions are in a closed position, the first and second portions may define a sealed cavity which encloses the protrusion(s).

A heat-retaining clip assembly is provided. The heat-retaining clip assembly includes a convex surface nested in a concave surface in a closed position, wherein the convex and concave surfaces are pivotably connected to move between the closed position and an open position. The convex surface has a higher thermal conductivity than the concave surface. The present invention includes a system providing an arcuate heating element that can be sandwiched between the convex and concave surfaces in the closed position, while the convex surface conducts most of the heat. Then the heat-retaining clip assembly may be moved in the open position from the heating element to a user's hair so that the heat stored in the convex surface transfers to the hair to form textured waves in the hair after the clip is moved back to the closed position.

A hair clip, particularly for curly hair, includes a first curved jaw having a proximal end portion and a curved distal end portion; and a second curved jaw coupled to the first jaw. The second curved jaw has a proximal end portion and a curved distal end portion. An axle is coupled to the proximal end portions of the first and second curved jaws, thereby permitting the first and second curved jaws to pivot relative to one another between an open position and a closed position. The clip also has a biasing element disposed between the proximal end portions of the first and second curved jaws. The biasing element applies a biasing force to both the first and second curved jaws such that in a rest position, the first and second curved jaws are in the closed position.
