Benefits of technology
The present invention is a hair catching headband device that is designed to stop hair from flowing underneath the device when it is worn on a person's head. The hair catching headband has a flexible section that wraps around the person's head and includes left and right hair catching regions that extend down and outward from the headband section. The bottom portions of the left and right hair catching regions are in close proximity to the person's shoulder to prevent hair from flowing underneath. The hair catching region is made of a softer material than the rest of the headband section. The width of the hair catching region does not exceed 2 cm. The hair catching regions are positioned between 5 cm to 20 cm outward from the headband section and between 3 cm to 15 cm downward from the adjoining section.
Problems solved by technology
While traditional headbands or hair ties may hold back the hair of patients with such physically debilitating diseases, such objects have drawbacks.
For example, a person with ALS, or another debilitating disease, may have a difficult time putting hair ties into their hair without assistance from another person.
Moreover, hair ties alone may not prevent hair from getting in the way when the person has very long hair.
While a traditional headband may be easier for a person with a physically debilitating disease to put on, a traditional headband also does not adequately prevent a person's hair from getting in the way, when the person is taking part in daily activities.

Embodiment Construction
[0007]FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of the invention. With reference to FIG. 1, a hair catching headband 101 is shown. Hair catching headband 101 includes a headband section 103, a left hair catching region 105, and a right hair catching region 107. The left hair catching region 105 and right hair catching region 107 are adjoined to the headband section 103 at adjoining points 109 and 111, respectively, by any suitable means. The adjoining points are preferably located at lower portions of the headband section 103. Such a position advantageously enables the left hair catching region 105, and right hair catching region 107 to be situated beneath a person's head (adjacent to their neck) where hair ordinarily may get in the way when a person is doing daily activities. Further, the headband section 103, the left hair catching region 105, and right hair catching region 107 may all molded together, and / or created from one piece of material (e.g. plastic).

For example, a person with ALS, or another debilitating disease, may have a difficult time putting hair ties into their hair without assistance from another person. Moreover, hair ties alone may not prevent hair from getting in the way when the person has very long hair. While a traditional headband may be easier for a person with a physically debilitating disease to put on, a traditional headba...
