Abstract: There is provided a hair clipping device. The hair clip has a first leg portion and a second leg portion formed from a wire configured by bending such that the first and second leg portions lie adjacent and are biased against each other for securing hair therebetween. Surface of the first and second leg portions is provided with an anti-slipping coating for enhancing gripping of hair arranged between the first and second leg portions by the hair clip.
Abstract: Frenchies are flocked french hairpins with a soft, non scratchy coating, which creates a high-friction, non-slippery surface to keep hairstyles, wigs, and extensions in place. This innovative product is a traditional āUā shaped french hairpin, flocked with a high-friction yet soft coating finish. The flock finish can be offered in various colors, to accommodate different shades of hair, as well as in different sizes, for different needs.
Abstract: A bobby pin includes a clamping ribs unit and a hair fork. The clamping rib unit consists of a left and a right clamping rib member interspaced, and the left and the right clamping rib member have a press grip with a shaft hole and a guiding groove. The hair fork has two rods extending from a base member. A shaft stands on the base member, extending in the shaft hole of the press grips with a spring fitted around the shaft. In using, a user presses the two press grips to open the left and the right clamping rib member, with the rods of the hair fork shifted and located in the center of the bobby pin. Then the user inserts the left and the right clamping rib member in hair, with the press grips released to permit the left and the right clamping rib member closed up for clamping hair together with the hair fork.
Abstract: A hair accessory which allows a user to simultaneously shape and style the user's hair. The hair accessory includes a base, at least one shaping member, and at least one decorative feature. The hair accessory allows for the base, a functional portion of the hair accessory, to be hidden for view while the its decorative features are displayed. The shaping members may be used to shape and place the user's hair into one of a variety of styles, thus reducing the need for multiple hair accessories. The user may position the shaping members in the hair to achieve a desired hair style and the shaping members may include decorative features. The hair accessory may optionally include a band as a base for encircling a portion of the user's hair. Multiple decorative features of varying lengths may be used and the hair accessory may optionally be utilized to shape or contain a pony tail.
Abstract: My invention is the addition (soldering) of the 3 (three) metal loops to the top of the bobby pin. This allows the user to hang or affix decorations to the “Loop-Bead-do-Bobbie” as a hair embellishment or to be used as a slip-on decoration to a pocket, belt, or other article of clothing.
Abstract: An improved hair-restraint device is presented, shaped as an elongated helix and possessing a detachable pin that can be inserted down the long axis of the helix to hold hair in place. The device can be made of rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible material that will hold the helical shape.

Abstract: A hair pin for gripping the hair of a user for placing it against the head of the user. The hair pin includes a strand of wire formed of a resilient material having a first leg and a second leg joined together by a first bend. The first bend is U-shaped. Each of the legs has a free end. The first leg has a second bend therein positioned nearer to the free end than such that a third leg is defined between the second bend and the free end of the first leg. A total length of the first and third legs is generally equal to a length of the second leg. The first, second and third legs lying generally in the same plane.
Abstract: A threading device that is used to create a wrapped ponytail look. The device is a somewhat U-shaped pin of narrow resilient material wide in the middle and narrow at the open end. After the hair strands are wrapped, the device is used to thread the ends of the wrapped hair strands through the inside of the ponytail to hold it in place, after which the threader is removed.
Abstract: A decorative bobby pin for adorning and securing in the hair, and a method of fabricating the same. A decorative component is adhered to the straight arm of a bobby pin. The decorative component preferably comprises a single section of flexible fabric bunched or gathered at periodic intervals and pinned in this configuration. A bead is secured to the fabric at each fastener securing the bunched or gathered fabric. The fabric is preferably slightly longer and considerably wider than the bobby pin.
Abstract: A hairpin including a base plate, and a pin, wherein the base plate has a first row of longitudinally spaced pin holes and a second row of longitudinally spaced pin holes at two opposite ends, a first row of longitudinally spaced harness loops and a second row of longitudinally spaced harness loops alternatively arranged between the first row of longitudinally spaced pin holes and the second row of longitudinally spaced pin holes. In one embodiment, the pin has one rod section inserted through the first row of longitudinally spaced pin holes and second row of longitudinally spaced pin holes and one row of the first row of longitudinally spaced harness loops and second row of longitudinally spaced harness loops. In another embodiment, the pin has two parallel rod sections with one rod section inserted through the first row of longitudinally spaced harness loops and the other rod section through the second row of longitudinally spaced harness loops.
Abstract: A hair clip for fastening a hairdo, having a clip body made of flexible material and defining an open space for passing the hair, permitting the hair to be arranged into a hairdo; and a fastening device integrally made on two opposite ends of the clip body for fastening the clip body to the hairdo.
Abstract: A hair pin is provided that maintains its position in the hair for an extended period of time. The hair pin is preferably used in connection with an inverted ponytail hairstyle. The multiple-prong hair pin includes at least one front prong and preferably two rear prongs. At least one prong includes two locking tabs. The elastic band used to create the ponytail is securably engaged between the front and rear prongs and between the upper and lower tabs thereby precluding vertical movement of the hair pin during use.
Abstract: A permanent wave apparatus for curling hair includes a perm roller having a cylindrical outer surface with four equally-spaced longitudinal rows of outwardly projecting teeth positioned thereon. As the hair strands are wrapped around the roller, the rows of teeth act to provide additional compression of the hair by pressing it more firmly together between adjacent teeth with each rotation of the roller. Thus, increased compression of the hair strands is a function of both the number of rotations or wraps of a roller and the compacting action of the hair between the roller teeth. End papers having a longitudinal I-shaped slot opening therein enhance wrapping of the hair by holding the ends of all of the hair strands in place during wrapping, thereby eliminating fish hooks or bent ends, and enabling perfect wraps, even on extemely texturized cuts. Plastic slide clips serve to secure the first roller used to wrap a given section of hair to the scalp to provide increased volume of the resulting curl at the scalp.
Abstract: A hair retaining device comprises two co-acting virtually identical circular helical coils. Pockets are defined between the coils. In use, the device is screwed into a user's hair and the hair strands are captively retained in the pockets. The two coils preferably are joined at one common end. The coils are wound on the same hand and are coaxial with each other to form the pockets therebetween. The other ends of the two coils are free and spaced apart.
