Patent number: 5249589Abstract: A method of setting hair including the steps of pulling a full handful of the hair back at the nape of the neck, making a twist going up against the back of the head, making a plurality of twists against the head and moving them upward toward the top of the head and into a roll having an edge. The top of the plurality if twists is then pinched so the roll will not loosen up and pushing the remaining hair under the roll. A particular hair comb is then placed, at a 90 degree angle to the head into the edge of the roll. Finally the top of the comb is turned down toward the head while the comb teeth are pushed into the roll. This new method of setting hair allows a person or a hair stylist to set hair in a neat, consistent and appealing fashion. This simple to learn method is cost effective and only requires a hair comb.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 1992Date of Patent: October 5, 1993Inventor: Melanie Moore
