The current invention is for a device, a method and a system for styling hair. The preferred device of the instant invention is a hair pin that spirals with two or more rotations from a larger bottom section with a pointed end to a smaller top section with a blunted or enlarged end. The hair pin is preferably elongated and forms a substantially uniform cone shape with an inner spiral region. In the preferred method of the invention, a portion of hair is secured within the inner spiral region of the hair pin by placing the tapered or pointed end of the spiral hair pin into a section of hair and twisting the hair pin in a direction opposite to the spiraling direction of the hair pin, such that the hair pin passes through the hair at least twice and captures or gathers the portion hair within the inner spiral region. In the system of the invention, a first spiral hair pin is used in conjunction one more additional hair pins, whereby the one or more additional hair pins are threaded through hair and between one or more spirals of the first hair pin.
A device for styling hair, the device comprising a first spiral body section spiraling in a spiraling direction from a first end to a second end and from a larger radii of rotation to a smaller radii of rotation, wherein the first end is tapered for threading through hair and the second end is blunted to resist threading through hair, further wherein the first spiral body section attachably interwined with a second spiral body section substantially similar to the first spiral body section while the second spiral body section is threaded through the hair.
A hair pin device comprising a first hair pin with a single member body section with a substantially uniform cross-section that spirals in an elongated spiraling direction from a first pointed end to a second enlarged end of the body, wherein the body spirals with a rotational gradient from a larger rational radii beginning at the first pointed end to a smaller rotational radii at the second end of the body, wherein the first hair pin is configured to intertwine with a second hair pin while the second hair pin is threaded through hair.
A method of securing section of hair comprising the steps of:
A device for styling hair, the device comprising a first spiral body section with a substantially uniform cone shape spiraling in a spiraling direction from a first end to a second end and from a larger radii of rotation to a smaller radii of rotation, wherein the first end is tapered for threading through hair and the second end is blunted to resist threading through hair, wherein the first spiral body section is configured to intertwine with a second spiral body section while the second device is threaded in hair.
