Abstract

A hair styling device to provide a foundation for the French twist hair style. The foundation is a lightweight device, triangular in shape, with the upper end concave in curvature. Both the foundation and an anchoring device such as a comb, barrette, or clip will have strips of Velcro installed so that the anchoring device can be mated with the foundation and the anchoring devices can be changed to match the needs of the user. Hair is wrapped around the foundation, secured with bobby pins, and the user should be able to quickly and easily transform their hair style into an elegant French twist.
