Hair volumizing device

Abstract

A hair volumizing device for use beneath a head of hair including a center section and two appendages that wrap in a c-shape around the rear and sides of a user's head underneath their hair to create volume and style.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hair volumizing device configured to remain attached to a head of hair with synthetic barbs, hooks and/or teeth, comprising:
 a first appendage and a second appendage;   a center section comprising a top side, a bottom side, a curved outer portion, and an inner side, where the bottom side includes teeth that run substantially a length of the bottom side; wherein   each of the first appendage and the second appendage have outward-facing sides, with each of the first appendage and the second appendage attaching to the center section on opposite sides of the center section above the bottom side and below the top side, the first appendage and the second appendage being configured to flex towards the inner side of the center section at a hinge point that marks a connection area between the center section and each of the first appendage and the second appendage; and further wherein   in an installed position, the curved outer portion of the center section and the outward-facing sides of the first appendage and the second appendage face away from a head of a user for installation underneath the user's hair, with the teeth inserted into a rear side of the user's hair and with each of the first appendage and the second appendage wrapping from the rear side of the user's head to a left-side and a right-side of the user's head, respectively.   
     
     
         2 . The hair volumizing device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 each of the curved outer portion and the outward-facing sides includes an area at least partially covered with a hook-and-loop, or self-gripping, material for attachment beneath a user's hair.   
     
     
         3 . The hair volumizing device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the center section, the first appendage and the second appendage comprise a first, a second, and a third depth of thickness, respectively, with each corresponding to a depth of volumization of the user's hair in an installed position.   
     
     
         4 . The hair volumizing device of  claim 3 , wherein:
 the first depth of thickness of the center section is greater than either of the second or third depths of thickness, individually.   
     
     
         5 . The hair volumizing device of  claim 3 , wherein:
 each of the first, second, and third depths of thickness are substantially equal.   
     
     
         6 . The hair volumizing device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the center section is substantially 2.5 to 7 inches, and preferably approximately 3.5 to 5.25 inches, in diameter.   
     
     
         7 . The hair volumizing device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first appendage and the second appendage are substantially oblong in shape.   
     
     
         8 . The hair volumizing device of  claim 7 , wherein:
 the oblong shapes of the first appendage and the second appendage are substantially identical, with an appendage length and an appendage width, wherein the appendage length is substantially 1.65 to 3.25 inches, and preferably 1.75 to 2.25 inches, and the appendage width is 1.25 to 2.5 inches, and preferably 1.5 to 2 inches.   
     
     
         9 . The hair volumizing device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the device is comprised of plastic roller-type material formed through a plastic manufacturing process.   
     
     
         10 . The hair volumizing device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the device is c-shaped and configured to wrap around the rear and sides of the user's head.
