Abstract
The multi-functional hair drying net and turban towel for upright application may be used on its own or so combination with a hand held hair dryer. Useful for managing dry and wet hair, to absorb water from wet hair after washing, swimming, or anytime the hair is wet, thereby avoiding dripping of water on the face, neck, or clothes. Used over dry hair to keep hair off the face, back and neck when applying make-up and treatments to the face. When required to dry hair by electrical means the device can be connected to a commercially available hair dryer and used as a conduit to direct warm air into the net cavity and dry hair using electrical means. It can be used to keep hair dry and off the face and back in the bath, shower, Jacuzzi spa or steam bath.
Claims20
In combination, a flexible and multi-functional tubular hair drying net and turban towel for use on the head:
- means at one end of the tube to secure on to a head of a person and means at the other end to fit over the air outflow nozzle of a hair dryer, or for arranging this part of the tubular net as a turban, single and double walled cap or various other arrangements;
- for upright application on to the head, to cover and contain all of the wearer's hair;
- which may be worn loosely on the wearer's head or twisted and folded on top of the head to hold and dry the hair;
- for managing wet and dry hair;
- for use on its own or as a heat directing device for use with a hair dryer for drying hair positioned upon a head, providing an inflatable air space for receiving heated air under pressure and distributing air onto a hair surface to be dried, with the net ballooning upon operation thus allowing the hair within the net to move freely, comprising:
- a net member formed from a generally rectangular piece of material of a pre-determined length, sewn together to form a tube;
- having a head cover top portion and a backwardly extending hair basket portion with a longitudinal centering seam sewn two thirds of the length of the tube forming a generally cylindrical shape with a V shaped slit formed as a result of the truncated centre seam, extending generally longitudinally to said net member and adjacent to the hair basket bottom edge;
- and
- a gathering member attached to said net member adjacent to said head cover top edge such that said gathering member conforms snugly around the head of the wearer;
- and
- a gathering member attached to said net member at or near the hair basket bottom edge configured to secure said hair basket portion in place on the head of the wearer in various configurations and as constricting means associated with the hair basket bottom edge for gently gathering at least a portion of the edge;
- and
- a fastener fitted through the gathering member adjacent to said hair basket bottom edge as adjustment means for selectively varying the dimensions of the hair basket opening:
