Hair band

Abstract

A hair band comprising at least one band provided with at least one substantially longitudinal slot and with respective mutual coupling elements arranged at its ends.The band is made of a polymeric material with high mechanical fatigue strength, i.e., with a rigidity that is suitable to provide a high consistency and flexibility of the elastic type.Fatigue is understood as the successive exposure to stresses, suitable to produce deformations in the band, whose extent and direction may also be variable over time.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a hair band of the type adapted to provide particular hairstyles of the gathered type: essentially, the present invention is an effective accessory for providing hairstyles.BACKGROUND ART[0002]One particular type of gathered hairstyle is known as the chignon.[0003]The word “chignon” derives from the French expression “chignon du cou”, used to refer to the nape of the neck. The chignon is provided by gathering the hair in a bun on the nape of the neck, but there are many variations in style. It is a type of hairstyle worn predominantly for special occasions, such as weddings or ballets, but the base of the chignon can also be used for everyday sports styling.[0004]The provision of this type of hairstyle requires a rather complex sequence of operations, during which the hair is generally gathered beforehand in a ponytail, the ponytail being arranged typically halfway along the rear part of the head (in terms of height).[0005]The ha...

Benefits of technology

The invention proposes a hair band that solves the problems associated with traditional hairpins, which cause pain and tension to the user and can easily be lost during movement. The hair band is simple and low cost, making it easy to use and safe.

Problems solved by technology

The provision of this type of hairstyle requires a rather complex sequence of operations, during which the hair is generally gathered beforehand in a ponytail, the ponytail being arranged typically halfway along the rear part of the head (in terms of height).

These operations are very complicated, require hairgrips, hairpins and the like, which create tension at the head and can be annoying, and in particular it is difficult to provide this hairstyle autonomously: it is often necessary to resort to an expert in order to be certain of an execution that has a pleasant appearance and is durable.

Some alternative instruments are known which are substantially shaped like large hairpins, do not create a firm and stable hairstyle (therefore they are absolutely unsuitable for use during sports activities and recreational activities) and subject the scalp to stresses and tensions.

The large hairpins (made of various materials) are often subject to breakage, since after a certain number of successive deformations they yield due to fatigue failure.
