A hair braiding kit. The hair braiding kit includes a base mat and at least a first hair attachment. The base mat includes an upper surface, a lower surface and an outer edge. The first hair attachment includes a first support protruding from the upper surface of the base mat. The first hair attachment further includes a plurality of strands each having a first end, a second end and a unique identifier. The first end of each of the strands is attached to the first support.

A method and apparatus for styling hair using an apparatus preferably shaped as a hand having finger like elements that are flexible and can be separated from each so that a strand of hair can be inserted in between two of the finger like elements so that the strand is held in place as its being braided. The apparatus is mounted on a base with a clamp for securing the apparatus to a chair, table or other surface to keep the apparatus in place during the braiding of each strand of hair being braided. In another embodiment the apparatus can have three flexible elements that are generally upwardly extending from supporting surface such as a hand like or other structure so that two strands can be placed in between the places between the two end elements and the middle element for braiding.

The automatic hair braiding device disclosed herein, when laid against an individual's head over a sectioned portion of hair, can further section and segregate the hair into smaller sections of a specific width automatically. The braiding device will be able to combine additional hair, synthetic or human, that is already pre-fed into the machine to the individual's sectioned hair and braid the individual's hair with integrated hair to the desired length simultaneously. The device will possess a safety feature that can sense hair tension while segregating and braiding hair to minimize hair breakage and notify the user if any added hair is not properly loaded or secured within the device before braiding begins. The device will have the ability to automatically shut off if hair should become tangled during any phase of the braiding process. The device will have the ability to program hair sectioning and braid size through computer software capability and mobile phone Bluetooth application. Users will have the ability to sanitize the device to maintain state regulated health and hygiene requirements.

A braid training tool includes a head component having multiple strands selected from human hair, synthetic hair, and/or yarn extending from a surface and partitioned into sectors. A method of strengthening dexterity with the tool includes separating the multiple strands in at least one of the sectors into a predetermined number of sections; interweaving the sections according to a predetermined pattern to form a braid having a selected length; and securing the braid.

A new synthetic braiding hair and its manufacturing methods are disclosed. The synthetic braiding hair is comprised of a plurality of the first synthetic fibers configured to have natural ending shape; a plurality of the second synthetic fibers configured to be half-length of the plurality of the first synthetic fibers and have natural ending shape; and the plurality of the second synthetic fibers is combined in the middle of the plurality of the first synthetic fibers and folded together to form a hook.

A hair braiding kit includes a base mat with a first hair attachment and a second hair attachment attached at different locations to the mat. The first and second hair attachments have multiple strands configured in 3 columns, each strand attached to the mat midway between a first end and a second end. The strands of the second hair attachment are thinner than the strands of the first attachment. A hair braiding game includes a grid and multiple game pieces. The grid has multiple rows, a row-label column, and at least 3 lane columns, forming playing cells. The number of game pieces corresponds to the number of playing cells. Each game piece has one of several unique identifiers matching the number of lane columns. A pre-pluck, multi-ethnic mannequin head includes groupings of multiple strands affixed to the mannequin head. Each grouping has a unique characteristic thickness and/or texture.

Systems and methods for unraveling braids of real/natural hair and/or synthetic braid extensions, or a combination thereof, work from the bottom of the braid up using one or more tines automated to repetitively penetrate the braid and pull through and down it to unravel it. The systems and methods may unravel braid/entanglements faster than could otherwise be done manually by hand.

A synthetic braiding hair and its manufacturing method are disclosed. A synthetic braiding hair creating a faux locs style and a bohemian hair style simultaneously is comprised of the plurality of the first synthetic fibers spirally wound to create a faux locs hair style, the plurality of the second synthetic fibers spirally wound simultaneously along the plurality of the first synthetic fibers and extended at one end longer than the plurality of the first synthetic fibers to create a bohemian hair style thereof, and a hook formed at the other end of the plurality of the first synthetic fibers.

A hair lock weaving tool comprises a body having a first end and a second end. A curved hook portion is formed at the first end and a hair receiving portion is formed at the second end that includes a hole for receiving hair. The curved hook portion has a variable width and a variable thickness, wherein the width progressively increases from an interface between the curved hook portion and the hair receiving portion to an intermediate point and then the width progressively decreases in a direction toward and to a pointed end of the curved hook portion that defines the first end of the body. The hair receiving portion has a bilobate configuration with a first lobe that defines one end of the hole and a second lobe that defines an opposite end of the hole, with a narrowed waist defined between the first lobe and the second lobe.

An ultimate hair stand system for holding hairpieces for styling and dressing. The stand includes an extension, a base, and a rack. The extension has a height adjustment assembly including a height lock, with the height adjustment assembly configured to lockably adjust between a plurality of heights. The base has an anti-skid surface, with the anti-skid surface configured to limit lateral movement of the base across a floor, and the base is further configured to statically position the height adjustment assembly on the floor. The rack is a hairpiece rack configured to removably hold a plurality of hairpieces, and further configured to couple to the height adjustment assembly. For portability, the extension, the base, and the rack can be unassembled and be removably-inserted in the box of a travel case and transported to a desired location by use of an adjustable strap.
