Appl. No.:

12/148327

Inventors:

David Alan Silva - Reno NV, US

International Classification:

A45D 7/00

US Classification:

132210

Abstract:

A method and tool for quickly drying and styling hair into a waved formation comprising an absorbent fabric covered hair clip that is secured about a plurality of scrunched sections of wet or damp hair. The absorbent material dries the hair more quickly by absorbing some of the moisture from the hair, the jaws help squeeze the moisture from the hair into the absorbent material covering, the softness of the absorbent material covering keeps the more rigid jaws from crimping the hair while drying, resulting in smooth continuous waves or curl.

Appl. No.:

11/715629

Inventors:

David Alan Silva - Reno NV, US

International Classification:

A45D 8/00

US Classification:

132275, 132276

Abstract:

A hair clip that opens and closes using an elastic band. The band holds the jaws in an open position (which eliminates the need for the levers) and the band also urges the jaws together to close the clip (eliminating the need for a metal spring). The clip has a length of material that is attached either across its top or around it. Because the jaws have no attached protruding levers for opening and closing them (like the ones in a traditional ‘butterfly’ clip), the length of material lays relatively smooth across the top of the clip, which not only hides the hinge and elastic band (improving the aesthetic appearance of the clip), it makes it possible to decorated the material or add a companies logo thereto.
