ABSTRACT:
An illuminated hair ornament with fiber optics emitting lines of light and increased points of light is provided, where the illuminated ornament has a housing, a power supply coupled to the housing, a light source electrically coupled to the power supply, at least one fiber optic positioned to receive light from the light source, and includes one end protruding out and away from the housing. In one embodiment a reflective coating may be applied to the end of the fiber optic protruding from the housing, and in another embodiment, the one end protruding out and away from the hosing is cut at an angle to maximize observed brightness of the light. A sealant material may be applied to the fiber optics near the light source to prevent light from escaping from between the fiber optics. Also disclosed is a method for creating patterns of light across a user's hair.
