Abstract
A head rest cover for providing a low friction surface on a head rest of a seat is provided. Friction alopecia, or hair loss caused by friction against hair, can be a problem at the rear of the head for those who spend time leaning their head against a headrest of a seat, such as a vehicle seat while driving, or any other seat. The present disclosure prevents friction alopecia by providing a smooth silk surface on which to rest one's head while seated which prevents the friction that leads to hair loss.
Claims20
A seat having a headrest cover comprising:
- a base;
- a back;
- and
- a head rest on a top of the back;
- a head rest cover attached around an outer perimeter of the head rest, the head rest cover comprising:
- a silk strip positioned covering a front of the head rest;
- and
- an elastic strip having a first end attached to a first widthwise edge of the silk strip, and having a second end attached to a second widthwise edge of the silk strip and thereby forming the head rest cover as a loop, the elastic strip positioned in a partially stretched position around sides and a rear of the head rest, the elastic strip applying a force to the head rest by being in the partially stretched position.

A method of constructing a hair-protective headrest cover comprising the steps of:
- folding opposite widthwise edges of a first silk strip inward and baste stitching the folded portion inward from the folded edges;
- folding opposite widthwise edges of a second silk strip inward and baste stitching the folded portion inward from the folded edges;
- placing the second silk strip on the first silk strip and straight stitching a seam along a top and bottom edges of the first and second silk strips;
- fitting a first edge of an elastic strip into a pocket defined between a first widthwise edge of the connected first and second silk strips, and stitching in the ditch where the baste stich is located on the first and second silk strips to join the three layers together;
- and
- fitting a second edge of an elastic strip into a pocket defined between a second widthwise edge of the connected first and second silk strips, and stitching in the ditch where the baste stich is located on the first and second silk strips to join the three layers together.
