  • the cushioning sheath 20 can be a single fabric or multiple fabrics stitched together. The fabrics used are selected based on durability, aesthetic, and cushioning to the hair.
  • the cushioning sheath 20 is made of a fabric that stretches or a fabric that provides a loose-coverage to the frame 12, thereby, providing room for the frame 12 to be manipulated into different shapes.
  • the fabric have a surface that gently grasps the hair, while not allowing hair to be ensnarled.
  • Useful fabrics include velvet-type materials that have a type of woven tufted fabric in which the cut threads are evenly distributed, with a short dense pile, giving it a distinctive feel.
  • Other fabrics include velveteen materials that have a rib of velvet pile alternating with a plain depression. This fabric has a pile that is short, and is closely set. It has a firm hand, and a slightly sloping pile.
  • Other fabrics includes velour-type materials that are a plush, knitted fabric or textile similar to velvet, which can be made from cotton but can also be made from synthetic materials such as polyester.
  • the frame 12 can be manipulated, bent and/or twisted by the wearer since the frame end portions 13, 14 are near the four-squared corner perimeter of the fabric ends 23, 24 of the cushioning sheath 20. This allows the wearer to manipulate the shape of the hairstyling apparatus 10 according to her preference (see, for example, FIG. 30 to FIG. 35 further explained below).
  • This enclosed opening 30 provides a hook so the wearer can effectively roll her hair onto the apparatus 10.
  • the opening 30 is shaped in a narrow yet prolonged shape to capture as much hair as possible. This is useful especially for wearers with sheathed hair.

  • the enclosed opening 30' can be made smaller. That is, the wearer can insert a desired amount of hair into the enclosed opening 30, and then twist the opposing sides 25, 26 in opposite directions around a longitudinal axis defined by the hairstyling apparatus 10. This allows the hairstyling apparatus 10 to be used by the wearer with various hair volumes: thick to thin.
  • FIG. 2B shows the frame 12 of the hairstyling styling apparatus 10 of FIG. 2A in a tightly twisted position.
  • the frame 12 (and an opening 30' formed by the twisted sides 15, 16) allows the wearer to twist the ends to tighten the updo. This allows the wearer to form beautiful curls.
  • enclosed openings 30/30' become smaller, thereby hold is tighter.
  • the wearer can choose to twist more.
  • the wearer can twist less. Also, this allows the wearer to adjust the size of enclosed opening/s 30/30' prior to inserting the hairstyling apparatus 10 to the wearer's hair - which is useful for someone with thinner hair volume.
  • FIG. 2C shows the hairstyling styling apparatus 10 in a tightly twisted position where the side portions 25, 26 are more tightly coiled around each other.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil de coiffure comportant une gaine d'amortissement qui définit une ouverture protégée et un cadre souple positionné à l'intérieur de la gaine d'amortissement. Le cadre s'étend le long d'un périmètre interne de la gaine d'amortissement de sorte que des parties d'extrémité du cadre sont adjacentes aux extrémités de la gaine d'amortissement. Les premier et second côtés de la gaine d'amortissement peuvent être torsadés l'un par rapport à l'autre de sorte que la première partie et les parties latérales du cadre rendent l'ouverture protégée plus petite.
