Apparatus and method for decorating hair

Abstract

An apparatus and a method for ornamenting hair. A portion of hair is selected to be decorated. A portion of the length of each of a plurality of floss threads is then braided into the selected portion of hair, thereby forming a base cord. An adhesive is applied to the outside surface of the base cord. Then the balance of each floss thread is tied and wrapped about the base cord and adhesive. One thread at a time is wrapped and tied, for a number of loops, with the other threads being included inside the wrapping and loops for that number of loops. This tying and wrapping is continued until a desired length, changing which thread is being looped and tied after every predetermined number of loops. Optionally, beads and/or rondles, or other decorations, may be applied to the base cord and threads among the loops. Once the floss threads are looped and tied to the desired length, all of the ends of the floss threads are tied into a single knot. Any threads then extending beyond the single knot are then cut off. A lobster claw assembly is then clamped onto the knot, and a decorative extension is removably attached to the lobster claw.
