Benefits of technology

[0005]The present invention addresses the above needs by providing a self-administered hair attachment which is readily installed in and removed from the hair without the need for tools or professional assistance (i.e., the assistance of a salon stylist or similar person). The hair attachment mechanically engages the hair itself, rather than relying upon engagement with the scalp, ears, or other parts of the anatomy and using adhesives, crimping or weaving, etc. Engagement is by encircling or sandwiching the hair in a manner that avoids potential damage to the wearer's hair while still securing the adornment. The structure which engages the hair remains minimally conspicuous, and in some instances may contribute to the esthetic effect being imparted by its associated hair attachment.

Problems solved by technology

One of the technical problems which must be solved in providing such adornments lies in the mounting of the esthetic member to the hair.

A hair adornment accessory having an attachment structure that selectively envelops and grips the natural hair of a user, and an esthetic device coupled to the attachment structure. The attachment structure may be a tube, optionally having a slot along its entire length, into which a plug having a streamer or the like may be inserted so as to pinch the natural hair. An aesthetic member such as a streamer, tassel, etc. may be fixed to the plug, the attachment structure, or to both. In other embodiments the hair adornment accessory may be a tube which is longitudinally split and hinged to selectively open to receive the natural hair and then close and lock to retain the natural hair. The esthetic device may also include flexible filamentary members or other ancillary decorative features. No ancillary tools are needed to install the hair adornment accessory.
