Ponytail enhancer

Abstract

A ponytail enhancer includes a head portion with a first radius, a band portion with a second radius, and a tail portion with a third radius. The first radius and the third radius are greater than the second radius. The head portion includes a head resting surface shaped to rest against the back of a human head. The band portion is shaped to allow a ponytail band to fit and stay in place. The tail portion is shaped to add fullness to a ponytail.

         10 . The ponytail enhancer of  claim 1 ,
 further comprising an axis, and   wherein the tail section includes a second end, the second end including a second circular edge and generally convex and radially symmetrical in relation to the axis.   
     
     
         11 . The ponytail enhancer of  claim 10 , wherein:
 the second end includes a second center point,   the second circular edge includes a second diameter, and   a second end angle between a line drawn from the second center point to the second diameter equals a value between 20 and 40 degrees.   
     
     
         12 . The ponytail enhancer of  claim 1 ,
 wherein;
 the head portion includes a first end including a first circular edge, the first circular edge defining a first edge plane; and 
 the tail portion includes a second end including a second circular edge, the second circular edge defining a second edge plane; and 
   further comprising a first height, the first height including a length of a straight line drawn from the first edge plane to the second edge plane, the line normal to the first edge plane and the second edge plane, the length equaling a value between 1.5 and 2.5 inches.   
     
     
         13 . The ponytail enhancer of  claim 1 ,
 wherein;
 the head portion includes a first end including a first circular edge, the first circular edge defining a first edge plane; and 
 the tail portion includes a second end including a second center point; and 
   further comprising a second height, the second height including a length of a straight line drawn from the first edge plane to the second center point, the line normal to the first edge plane, the length equaling a value between 1.25 and 2.25 inches.   
     
     
         14 . The ponytail enhancer of  claim 1 , wherein the head portion includes a first end including a first circular edge, the first circular edge including a diameter, the first diameter equaling a value between 1.5 and 3.0 inches. 
     
     
         15 . The ponytail enhancer of  claim 1 , wherein the tail portion includes a second end including a second circular edge, the second circular edge including a second diameter, the second diameter equaling a value between 0.5 and 1.5 inches. 
     
     
         16 . The ponytail enhancer of  claim 1 , wherein the head portion includes:
