Abstract

A needle apparatus for pulling loose hair into existing braids, cornrows, dreads, or any other hair styles with tightly pulled hair includes a flexible needle-eye and a needle-tip. The needle-tip includes a rigid member and an eye interface. The flexible needle-eye being configured into a continuous loop so that loose hair can be trapped with the needle apparatus. The eye interface is terminally positioned about the rigid member so that the flexible needle-eye can be terminally connected to the rigid member by the eye interface. The rigid member is then inserted through the existing braids, cornrows, dreads, or any other hair styles with tightly pulled hair so that the flexible needle-eye is able to pull loose hair back into the existing braids, cornrows, dreads, or any other hair styles with tightly pulled hair.
