Abstract: A head-worn apparatus features an elongated flexible member having first and second slits therein proximate opposing ends thereof for respective engagement of first and second tufts of hair through the slits at respective locations on the user's head. Tape, clips or other securing elements are used to bundle together the strands of hair in each tuft and prevent sliding of the tufts out from the respective slits, thereby maintaining the apparatus in place in the user's hair. In one embodiment, the elongated member is connected proximately rearward of the forehead on opposite sides of the head, and is sufficiently tensioned to tighten facial areas near these locations. In another embodiment, the elongated member is used to hang one or more jewelry items in the user's hair. The flexible member has a series of holes through which additional hair can be passed to conceal it from sight beneath the user's hair.

Abstract: To allow mothers to breast feed their babies discretely in public, this article, called a breast feeding cover, covers a mother and her baby and has a viewing window so that mother can see the baby nursing (feeding) but no one else can. The breast feeding cover fits over one shoulder and attaches around the mother's neck. A small semi-circular viewing window protrudes outward from the front panel of the breast feeding cover just above the breast so that the mother can see the baby nursing while the rest of the baby is covered. The breast feeding cover is reversed when the mother is nursing the baby on the opposite side. The viewing window is created from a stiff ribbon to ensure the pocket juts out adequately to allow the mother to view the baby. The viewing window is also reversed by pushing the stiff ribbon to the opposite side of the breast feeding cover.
