A hair-retaining device is described as having a base material, a layer of epoxy resin, a compliant exterior layer disposed over the base material and joined to the base material of epoxy resin, and a top coat layer disposed over the compliant exterior layer. The method of making a hair-retaining device is described. The method involves extruding a base material to a predetermined shape, cutting the predetermined shape of the base material to a predetermined thickness, abrading a surface of the base material, applying an epoxy resin to the base material, and applying a compliant exterior layer disposed over the base material and joined to the base material by the epoxy resin.

The present invention relates to a hair pin capable of holding hair in a bundle form, in which a connection region of a joint device connected to an upper gripper is in a non-contact state at an upper portion of an pushing part of the upper gripper, so that frequent breakage of the connection region of the joint device, which occurs in a conventional hair pin that is manufactured in a small size, can be prevented from occurring. In the hair pin, a lower gripper and an upper gripper are coupled to each other in a form of a gripper through lower and upper hinge parts, a collecting part is rotatably connected to a front end of the upper gripper, and a joint part is connected between the collecting part and the upper gripper.

A luminous hair accessory is provided. The luminous hair accessory includes a light module and a main body for holding hair. At least a portion of the main body is made of light guide material and has a light entrance and a light extraction structure. A fixed light path from the light entrance to the light extraction structure is formed in the light guide material. The light module is coupled to the main body and configured to emit light to the light entrance on the main body. The light travels over the portion of the main body and is then extracted from the portion of the main body through the light extraction structure.

Devices, systems, and methods are provided for adjustable hair bows. A wearable device such as an adjustable hair bow may include a base portion and a cover portion to connect to the base portion, the cover portion displaying one or more of an image or text. The wearable device may include a connection mechanism connected to the base portion, and may include a hair clip connected to the connection mechanism.

In one aspect, the invention provides a hair clasp comprising a substrate made of a flexible material capable of going from a concave position to a convex position by the application of slight force, such as by press of fingers. The substrate has an inner portion that comes in contact with hair and an outer portion that is exposed. The hair clasp comprises at least one set of teeth having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end is attached to the substrate. The flexible material used as the substrate may be any rubbery material such as natural rubber, neoprene, silicone, and the like. The hair clasp may further include decorative items such as bows, colored cloths, and the like, on the outer portion of the substrate.

A self-defense device includes a notification or alarm component configured to be used with a personal item, wherein the notification or alarm component is a whistle or an alarm device. The personal item may be a hairpiece, a keychain, a glove, a purse, an earring, a belt, or a handbag. The notification or alarm component may be an electronic device that can makes a loud sound or send an electronic signal that communicates with a cell phone or an alarm center.

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.
