Hair volumizing ornament and method

Abstract

The present invention consists of a small, dual-purpose hair accessory which adds height and/or volume to a woman's hair, as well as adding sparkle. The invention also includes a method for using this accessory. This device adds both volume and sparkle by being predominantly hidden and submerged in the hair, but also by being slightly visible. This invention would be particularly useful for a woman with fine or thinning hair.

1 . An apparatus worn in the hair, said apparatus being between 2″-5″ long at a preponderance of points, ¾″-2″ wide at a preponderance of points, and ¼-1½″ high at a preponderance of points, 
 the body of said apparatus being predominantly and intentionally hidden by submergence in the wearer's hair,    but also being slightly visible on its top through the wearer's individual hair strands.    
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  has the dual functions of adding height and/or volume to the hair and also of adding sparkle, 
 the sparkling agent being bold or subtle    and running partially or completely along the length of the apparatus.    
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  requires a clip, pin, or other fastening device, the specifics of which are not a part of this invention, 
 and which may be attached to the apparatus by the manufacturer, seller, hairdresser, or wearer and then attached to the wearer's hair.    
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  is not a hairpiece and is not made of real or simulated hair.  
   
   
       5 . A method of using the apparatus of  claim 1 , in which the apparatus is attached close to the scalp, nearby hair is swept over it, and the hair on top of the apparatus is adjusted, so as to allow the decorative agent partial visibility.
