A hair-style retaining auxiliary for use with a hair-style retainer is provided. The hair-style retainer at work has at least a first portion in contact with hair. The hair-style retaining auxiliary includes a base attached onto the first portion of the hair-style retainer; and a plurality of soft hook members integrally formed with and protruding from the base, and configured as a non-linear structure for locally changing linear distribution of hair in contact therewith.

A hair clip includes an upper clip piece defined with a lip portion, an arched body portion, an upper pivot portion and an upper handle portion; a lower clip piece defined with a tip portion, a base portion, a lower pivot portion, and a lower handle portion; and teeth extending downwards to the base portion. A hair clip is switchable between an open configuration and a closed configuration by operating upper and lower handle portions to have upper and lower clip pieces pivot on upper and lower pivot portions. When the hair clip is in the open configuration, the lip portion is apart from the tip portion for receiving hair therefrom. When the hair clip is in the closed configuration, the lip portion overbites the tip portion so that the hair in the hair-accommodating space is sharply separated from adjacent hair which is excluded from the hair clip.

A hair styling device includes a base; and a plurality of pins having respective first ends connected to a first side of the base, and spaced from each other. The base and the pins are produced from a single-layer flexible workpiece. Two of the plurality of pins are connected to each other at respective second ends opposite to the first ends, thereby forming a bistable mechanism that is capable of switching between concave-convex positions in response to an external force, and at least another two of the plurality of pins have free second ends opposite to the first ends, thereby forming a second branch layered from the first branch. The first branch is switched to a concave position relative to the second branch to create a space for receiving or releasing hair, and switched to a convex position relative to the second branch to close the space for securing hair.

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.

The present disclosure is directed to a decorative item with an interchangeable portion. The presently disclosed device can be attached to the hair, clothing, or other suitable surface and has an interchangeable decorative feature that does not require the purchase of a large number of similar items to vary the appearance of the decorative item. The preferred embodiment of the device is similar in nature to a barrette with the inclusion of two attachment means on opposing ends of the barrette. The interchangeable decorations can be attached to the attachment means on the barrette.

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%.
