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.

A dual-purpose hair styling and retention device including a curved handle having a top surface couplable to a user's head and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, the top surface and the bottom surface forming a hand gripping surface. The dual-purpose hair styling and retention device also includes a base pivotally coupled to the handle, the base having an upper surface and a bottom surface opposite the upper surface, the upper surface including a plurality of bristles coupled thereto. The dual-purpose hair styling and retention device further includes an extended configuration in which the handle extends from the base to expose the hand gripping surface and a hair-retention configuration in which the base is selectively coupled to the bottom surface of the handle to at least partially obstruct the hand gripping surface and expose the plurality of bristles.

The present invention is directed towards a hair clip with a flexible arm. The hair clip is adapted to fasten around a portion of the user's hair. The flexible arm is adapted to bend around a section of the user's hair such that the effective length of the flexible arm changes, and then lines up with a clip on a mating portion of the clip. The clip with the flexible arm puts less pressure on the hair than a standard hair clip.

Various reversible hairclips are disclosed. The reversible hairclip can include a band and a curved pin. The band can comprise a first end and a second end. The reversible hairclip can comprise a knob, a tip end, and a slot between the knob and the tip end. The tip end can comprise a plurality of notches along first and second elongate sides of the curved pin that are configured to engage with the second end of the band. The slot of the pin can be configured to receive the first end of the band such that the first end of the band is able to move within the slot. The curved pin can be configured to rotate about an axis of the first end of the band such that the second end of the band is able to engage with the plurality of notches on the pin.
