Method for braiding hair and method for manufacturing a wig

Abstract

A method is provided for braiding hair, wherein a pre-curled group of hair is first divided into four sub-groups of hair, and wherein two of the sub-groups are twisted into a first twist and the other two of the sub-groups are twisted into a second twist. The first twist and the second twist are then twisted into a braid.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for braiding hair comprising:
 dividing a pre-curled group of hair into four sub-groups;   twisting a first and second of the four sub-groups into a first twist;   twisting a third and fourth of the four sub-groups into a second twist;   twisting the first twist and the second twist into a braid.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the twisting into a first twist and the twisting into a second twist are in a first direction and the twisting into a braid is done on a second direction opposite the first direction. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the pre-curled group of hair is connected at a first end, such that after dividing the pre-curled group of hair into four sub-groups, the sub-groups remain fixed to each other at the first end. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the twisting of the first and second twist into a braid begins after a first length from the first end, such that a loop is formed between the first and second braid at the first end. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising untwisting the braid and twists to reproduce the four subgroups. 
     
     
         6 . A method for manufacturing a wig comprising:
 permanently curling a group of hair;   dividing the pre-curled group of hair into four sub-groups;   twisting a first and second of the four sub-groups into a first twist;   twisting a third and fourth of the four sub-groups into a second twist;   twisting the first twist and the second twist into a braid.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6  wherein the group of hair is fixed at a first end to a wig scalp. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7  further comprising repeating the steps for a plurality of groups of hair fixed to the wig scalp. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 6  further comprising folding the group of hair in half before dividing the pre-curled group of hair into four sub-groups and forming two sub-groups from each end of the group of hair. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 6  further comprising repeating the process multiple times and providing the resulting braids as a set.
