Hair twisting system

A hair twisting system comprising:

• a frame having an annular shape, the frame defining a frame inner surface, a frame outer surface, and a frame front surface, the frame inner surface parallel to the frame outer surface, and the frame front surface perpendicular to the frame inner surface and the frame outer surface;
• a handle extending from a proximal end of the frame in a direction away from the frame, the handle including side walls, the side walls being spaced apart when in contact with the frame and converge to define a proximal tip at a location remote from the frame, the side walls of the handle further define an interior gripping surface and an exterior griping surface, the interior gripping surface defining an interior gripping opening formed between the interior gripping surface of the side walls of the handle;
• and
• strings having ends, each of the strings having the ends thereof connected to opposing sides of the frame inner surface, where the strings extend linearly between a first plane defined by the frame front surface and a second plane defined by a frame back surface, wherein the strings intersect to form a grid network having openings between the strings, and where intersections are formed by the strings overlapping;
• wherein:
• the frame is configured to be placed toward a head of a user such that the strings extend toward a scalp of the user;
• the strings are configured to press into hair of the user towards the scalp of the user thereby causing the strings to reliably and controllably deform around locks of the hair;
• the handle configured to rotate the frame while the hair is held between the strings;
• and
• the frame further configured to be moved away from the scalp, causing the strings to disengage from the hair and to spring back to the grid network and leave the hair in newly formed twisted locks.

A method of manufacturing a hair twisting system comprising:

• providing a frame having an annular shape, the frame defining a frame inner surface, a frame outer surface, and a frame front surface;
• forming a handle extending from a proximal end of the frame in a direction away from the frame, the handle including side walls, the side walls being spaced apart when in contact with the frame and converge to define a proximal tip at a location remote from the frame, the side walls of the handle further define an interior gripping surface and an exterior griping surface, the interior gripping surface defining an interior gripping opening formed between the interior gripping surface of the side walls of the handle;
• and
• attaching strings having ends, each of the strings having the ends thereof connected to opposing sides of the frame inner surface, where the strings extend linearly between a first plane defined by the frame front surface and a second plane defined by a frame back surface, wherein the strings intersect to form a grid network having openings between the strings, and where intersections are formed by the strings overlapping;
• wherein:
• the frame is configured to be placed toward a head of a user such that the strings extend toward a scalp of the user;
• the strings are configured to press into hair of the user towards the scalp of the user thereby causing the strings to reliably and controllably deform around locks of the hair;
• the handle configured to rotate the frame while the hair is held between the strings;
• and
• the frame further configured to be moved away from the scalp, causing the strings to disengage from the hair and to spring back to the grid network and leave the hair in newly formed twisted locks.
