A method of using a hair protection, retention, and styling apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of hair flaps, including at least a first hair protection flap, a second hair protection flap, and a top hair retention flap;
- a hair retention channel roll having a generally rectangular shape with a top side, a left side, a right side, and a base side forming a perimeter of the hair retention channel roll and defining a top surface and a rear surface therebetween, and wherein the first hair protection flap extends outwards from the right side of the hair retention channel roll, and the second hair protection flap extends outwards from the left side of the hair retention channel roll, and the top hair retention flap extends from the top side of the hair retention channel roll, the plurality of hair protection flaps thereby arranged on the hair retention channel roll so as together to form a generally triangular shape;
- a first wrap tie and a second wrap tie;
- the first wrap tie attaching to a right side of the hair protection, retention and styling apparatus;
- the second wrap tie attaching to a left side of the hair protection, retention and styling apparatus;
- and
- a hair retention style bar having a first attachment end and a second attachment end and wherein the first attachment end is attached to the juncture of the top hair retention flap and the top side of the hair retention channel roll and approximately along the right side of the hair retention channel roll at a first attachment point, and the second attachment end is attached to the juncture of the top hair retention flap and the top side of the hair retention channel roll and approximately along the left side of the hair retention channel roll at a second attachment point, the hair retention style bar extending above and across the top surface of the hair retention channel roll thereby creating a hair insertion gap between the style bar and the top surface of the channel roll between the first attachment point and the second attachment point within which a user places the user's hair;
- and wherein the method comprises:
- placing the user's hair on the channel roll;
- inserting the ends of the user's hair through the hair insertion gap;
- curling up the hair and the top hair retention flap over the style bar;
- arranging the hair on the top surface of the channel roll;
- folding the first hair protection flap inwards, over the hair;
- folding the second hair protection flap inwards, over the hair;
- rolling the hair, top hair retention flap and style bar over the first and second hair protection flaps and downwards towards the base side of the hair retention channel roll;
- grasping each end of a resulting hair roll and bringing the ends of the roll around to meet each other and form a bun;
- crossing and tying the first wrap tie and the second wrap tie to secure the apparatus in the user's hair.
