Abstract
A hairstyling headband that has an elongated channel along its center creating two tiers. The back tier is raised so hair can be placed into the channel and fanned out along the channel covering the raised portion to create 1960's inspired bumped up hair style behind the front tier. Hair can also be placed between a two-tiered headband and rolled up until the headband is secured to the head, creating a rolled hairstyle, and curls when the headband is removed.

The hairstyling headband 1 comprises a first front tier 2 and a second back tier 3. The first front tier 2 and the second back tier 3 form an elongated hair receiving slit/opening/grove 4. The second back tier 3 is raised with foam 5.
(14) In use FIG. 2 through FIG. 5 hair from the front of the head is gathered FIG. 2 and placed between the first tier 2 and the second tier 3 FIG. 3. The headband is place on top of the head FIG. 4.

The headband 1 is rolled up FIG. 9 and then placed on the head FIG. 10.
(15) Referring to FIG. 11 of the accompanying drawings, there is illustrated another embodiment of the current invention 6, embodying the present invention. The headband is a circular headband 6 which does not need to be rigid because it is held in place by placing completely around the user's head. The headband 6 has a back padded tier 7which forms an elongated hair receiving opening/slit/channel 9.
(16) In use FIG. 12 through FIG. 15 a portion of hair is gathered FIG. 12 and placed into the hair receiving opening 9 FIG. 13. The circular headband 6 is place around the head and the hair in the opening is fanned FIG. 14 and FIG. 15.
(17) The present invention being thus described, the same may be varied in many ways. For instance, the device can be made of any material. The plastic and padded portions can be covered in fabric. The headband method can start by placing the headband around the head in a traditional fashion and then pulling the hair that the user wants bumped up, through the opening/slit/channel. The raised back tier could be hook and loop material, no slip material, or raised textured plastic. It could also be a long hair weft that could not only bump the hair, but be a terrific way for the user's hair to look longer and thicker. There could be a third back tier so the user can weave the hair through the first opening, over the second tier, and into the second opening. Whereby the first tier and back tier look like headbands and the center bumps the hair. Further, any way to use the present invention obvious in the art should apply.
