Abstract: An eyelash curler comprising a handle, an actuator, and a curling head. The handle has an elongated shape with a top end and a bottom end. The actuator is embedded within the handle with a switch exposed on the surface of the handle and an actuator stem extending from the top end of the handle. Manipulating the switch moves the actuator between a first position and a second position. The curling head has only one support bar, a first curler arm coupled to the end of the support bar, and a second curler arm coupled to the top end of the actuator stem. When the actuator is in the first position, the second curler arm is in contact with the top end of the handle and when the actuator is in the second position, the second curler arm is in contact with the first curler arm.

Abstract: A method of applying artificial lashes includes obtaining a set of clusters of artificial hairs that form a set of lash fusions connected to a base so as to form a set of lash extensions. The set of clusters may be heat fused at its root to form the base. The method may further includes applying an adhesive to enable the set of lash extensions to be affixed to natural eyelashes, and arranging the base of the set of lash extensions proximate to a proximate end portion of a natural upper eyelash of a subject such that the set of lash extensions extends from the proximate end portion toward a distal end portion of the natural upper eyelash. The method may also include affixing the lash extensions to the natural upper eyelash of the subject such that the lash extensions adhere to the natural upper eyelash via the adhesive.

Abstract: Various methods are used to attach hair extensions to a user's hair. According to one method, a user's hair is parted and adhesive tape of a first extension is attached to hair above the part. The first extension and attached hair are lowered, and a second extension is positioned above the lowered extension such that adhesive tape of the second extension substantially aligns with the first extension's tape. The second extension's tape is attached to the user's hair to sandwich the hair between the two extensions. According to another method, a user's hair is parted and a first adhesive tape on one side of an extension is attached to hair below the part. Hair above the part is lowered and attached to the extension's other side using a second tape. A third tape is attached to the user's hair below the first tape to sandwich the hair between the tapes.

Abstract: A cotton strip is adhered to a piece of aluminum foil, and aluminum foil is wrapped onto a mold simulating a finger, with the cotton strip on an interior side of the foil. Self-adherent fabric is wrapped around the foil on the mold. The self-adherent fabric is then treated with an electrically conductive solution, such as an electrolyte. The tip, including cotton, foil, fabric, and solution, is then formed into a sealed electrically conductive tip ready for use. At the time of use, acetone is applied to the cotton strip via a dropper or comparable mechanism, and the tip is placed on a finger to initiate the removal of nail polish, gel nail polish, or a nail overlay from a natural fingernail. The removal process enables use of a cell phone or other device with a touchscreen during the process.

Abstract: The present disclosure refers to an apparatus for flossing teeth having a handle with a fixed anchor point for holding one end of a length of dental floss that passes through an eyelet and is affixed to a breakaway anchor tab on a lever. Breaking the breakaway anchor tab releases one end of the floss so that it may be pulled through a space between teeth. An adjustment lever allows for the easy transition of the flossing loop from tight for the insertion process to slack to enable the flossing process. The guidelines for flossing require that the flossing loop should form the required “C” shape around the base of the tooth.
