Abstract
A novel form of a braider is provided which, in its preferred embodiment, consists of a body portion with two opposing cavities. The cavities are designed so as to enable both easy insertion into and removal from of sections of hair from the cavities. Several novel methods for using the braider are also provided. In one use, the wearer places each of two sections of her hair each within a cavity of the braider. She then repeatedly and alternately transfers sub-sections of hair from one cavity to the other thus creating a herringbone braid. A hooked rod may be used to separate out sub-sections of hair during braiding.
Claims20
A hair braiding device for braiding hair, said device comprising:
- a. a body portion including at least two cavities
- b. each said cavity being configured so as to allow sections of hair to be held snugly within each said cavity
- c. each said cavity being configured so as to allow sections of hair to be easily inserted into and removed from each said cavity
- d. each said cavity having a resilient mouth portion that is configured so as to allow sections of hair to be easily inserted into and removed from each said cavity
- whereby said braiding device can be used to quickly and easily create many different hair styles.
A method for braiding hair with a hair braiding device, said method comprising the steps of:
- a. parting hair to be braided into two sections, a first section and a second section
- b. inserting said first section into a first cavity of the braiding device
- c. inserting said second section into a second cavity of the braiding device
- d. removing a first sub-section of hair from the first cavity
- e. transferring said first sub-section to the second cavity
- f. removing a second sub-section of hair from the second cavity
- g. transferring said second sub-section to the first cavity
A method of braiding hair with a hair braiding device, said method comprising the steps of:
- a. separating a small sub-section of hair from hair that is to be braided
- b. twisting said small sub-section of hair to form a twisted sub-section
- c. inserting said twisted sub-section into a cavity of the braiding device to prevent said twisted sub-section from unraveling
A method of braiding hair with a hair braiding device, said method comprising the steps of:
- a. parting a portion of hair into two sections, a first section and a second section
- b. inserting said first section of hair into a first cavity of the braiding device
- c. inserting said second section of hair into a second cavity of the braiding device
- d. rotating the hair braiding device at least once thus intertwining the first section and the second section of hair
A method for creating a non-braided hair style with a braiding device, said method comprising the steps of:
- a. inserting a first section of hair into a first cavity of the braiding device
- b. reinserting said first section of hair into a cavity of the braiding device.
