Abstract

An enhancing device for hair comprises a rigid track comprising an opening and at least two substantially linear sections around the opening, a first tooth bracket rotatably connected to one of the substantially linear sections and comprising a plurality of tines, a second tooth bracket rotatably connected to another of the substantially linear sections and comprising a plurality of tines, a band connected at two ends to opposing regions of the rigid track and stretched across the opening to define a hole, and a section of hair connected to a substantial entirety of the rigid track and having a length of at least approximately eight inches. The first and second tooth brackets may be rotatable to an engaged position in which the tines of the first tooth bracket engage with the tines of the second tooth bracket.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An enhancing device for hair, comprising:
 a rigid track comprising an opening and at least two substantially linear sections around the opening;   a first tooth bracket rotatably connected to one of the substantially linear sections and comprising a plurality of tines;   a second tooth bracket rotatably connected to another of the substantially linear sections and comprising a plurality of tines;   a band connected at two ends to opposing regions of the rigid track and stretched across the opening to define a hole; and   a section of hair connected to a substantial entirety of the rigid track and having a length of at least approximately eight inches,   wherein the first and second tooth brackets are rotatable to an engaged position in which the tines of the first tooth bracket engage with the tines of the second tooth bracket.   
     
     
         2 . The enhancing device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the section of hair comprises human hair. 
     
     
         3 . The enhancing device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the section of hair comprises synthetic hair. 
     
     
         4 . The enhancing device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the section of hair has a length of at least approximately twelve inches. 
     
     
         5 . The enhancing device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the band comprises an elastic material. 
     
     
         6 . The enhancing device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the section of hair has a ponytail configuration. 
     
     
         7 . A method of enhancing hair, comprising:
 providing the enhancing device as claimed in  claim 1 ;   bunching hair of a user into a ponytail;   inserting the ponytail into the opening of the rigid track;   tucking the ponytail around the band so that the ponytail is not exposed outside the section of hair; and   engaging the first and second tooth brackets.
