Method for preserving hairstyle and pillow used therefor

Abstract

The method for preserving hairstyle includes the use of an ear pillow. The ear pillow is placed upon a conventional pillow and one's ear is rested thereupon. By this method, the head is elevated from the surface of the conventional pillow so that neither the ear pillow nor the conventional pillow disturbs one's hairstyle. The ear pillow is a miniature pillow, having a generally round shape. The ear pillow is formed from two equally sized sheets of a flexible material that are attached together along their peripheral edges. A padding layer is disposed between the two sheets. The padding layer is provided in an amount suitable for the desired firmness and elevation of a user's head.
