Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

The present invention is a hair ring. More specifically, the present invention is a hair barrette ring.

Description of the Related Art

Similar products on the market currently such as the Banana Clip offer a miniature flexible clip, but are mostly only suitable for younger children as they cannot hold a large volume of hair without the assistance of a rubber band. Likewise, other comparable products in existence such as the Flexible Comb only provide a string like comb which does provide some elasticity, but ultimately gets tangled too easily and often ends-up tearing out hair altogether when trying to undo the hairstyle it was used for.

What is needed is a hair barrette ring that creates a comfortable fit for thick natural hair styling in a matter of seconds.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is a hair ring. More specifically, the present invention is a hair barrette ring.

The hair barrette ring includes a base hoop having a first end and a second end, a plurality of elongated hair tongs attached to the base hoop, the elongated hair tongs extend inward and a fastening hook is disposed on the first end of the base hoop, the fastening hook is adapted to align with an aperture disposed on the second end of the base hoop to couple the fastening hook to the aperture and secure the hair barrette ring in place.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a hair barrette ring that features a fully adjustable barrette ring made out of durable plastic for added flexibility, durability and convenience.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a hair barrette ring that the circular barrette structure helps smooth hair while simultaneously grasping any desired amount of thick hair securely in place via the afforded clip.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a hair barrette ring that is so versatile in its design that it functions both in wet and dry environments, ensuring a tangle-free and seamless experience with every use.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a hair barrette ring that is also intended to be offered in supplemental versions in which the standard small to medium size may be upgraded and purchased in a medium to large size.
