Abstract: A hair foundation device for lifting, guiding and holding hair on a user's head has a hollow inner cup within a hollow open ended outer casing. The inner cup has a tubular outer surface, an open bottom end for locating adjacent the user's head, and an opposed top end having flexible spaced tines with openings therebetween for receiving hair. The outer casing has an interior surface for slideably engaging the outer surface of the inner cup, and an exterior surface fitted with bristle type material for gripping the hair being wound thereabout. The inner cup slides relative to the outer casing to adjust the device's height for accommodating a selection of hair lengths and styles. A raised hair-do is formed by gathering hair into locks and stuffing the locks through the openings. One or more of the locks may be wrapped over the bristle type material to help position and secure the device on the user's head. Hairpins or other securing devices are not required, although they may be employed if desired.
