Hair holding device, a method of using such a device, and a kit including such a device

A hair treatment kit comprising:

• a device for holding a lock of hair, the device comprising:
• a base portion including a surface for resting on the scalp,
• a holding portion comprising an elastically deformable clip extending along an axis substantially parallel to the surface, the clip being arranged to hold a portion of said lock in a substantially upstanding position between the holding portion and the scalp, and
• a link portion connecting the base portion to the holding portion and inclined obliquely relative to the base portion when viewed from a side view in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis along which the clip extends so that the holding portion can be moved by a user toward the base portion by elastically deforming the device and so that the holding portion can exert a tension on said lock of hair by tending to move away from the base portion once the device is no longer elastically deformed by the user, the link portion being configured to allow access to said portion of said lock;
• and
• a substance for application to the hair roots.

A device for holding a lock of hair, the device comprising:

• a base portion including a surface for resting on the scalp;
• a holding portion comprising a clip arranged to hold a portion of said lock in a substantially upstanding position between the holding portion and the scalp, the holding portion comprising two branches extending along an axis substantially parallel to the surface, said branches having diverging portions, when the device is observed substantially perpendicularly to the surface, that facilitate insertion of hair between the two branches;
• and
• a link portion obliquely disposed relative to the holding portion or the base portion when viewed from a side view in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis along which the branches extend, the link portion connecting the base portion to the holding portion, the link portion being configured to allow access to the portion of said lock, wherein the link portion is made integrally with at least one of the base portion and the holding portion.

A device for holding a lock of hair, the device comprising:

• a base portion including a surface for resting on the scalp;
• a holding portion comprising an elastically deformable clip extending along an axis substantially parallel to the surface and arranged to hold a portion of said lock in a substantially upstanding position between the holding portion and the scalp, the holding portion extending at least in part above a center of a surface of the scalp delimited by the base portion;
• and
• a link portion obliquely disposed relative to the holding portion or the base portion when viewed from a side view in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis along which the clip extends, the link portion connecting the base portion to the holding portion so that the holding portion can be moved toward the base portion by elastically deforming the device, the link portion being configured to allow access to said portion of said lock,
• the clip comprising an opening configured to allow the portion of the lock of hair to be inserted in the opening while being all oriented in a substantially upstanding position.
