ABSTRACT:

The present invention relates generally to ponytail hair styles and more particularly to the implementing of these hair styles without the assistance of another person.
EXAMPLE OF THE PRIOR ART
The popularity of ponytail hair styles has resulted in extensive patent literature directed to diverse constructions applied to hair strands of a number providing a desired bulk in a rearwardly extending orientation, in which the patented constructions applied about the hair strands hold them in a well recognized configuration resembling that of a tail of a pony, and thus aptly known as and called a ponytail. Exemplifying this extensive patented literature is U.S. Pat. No. 5,465,741 for “Hair Wrap Device” issued to Dvorak on Nov. 14, 1995. Despite the diversity of their apparent simple construction, the patented devices, such as that of the '741 patent, requires the assistance of another person because the hair strands extend rearwardly from behind the head of the user and in this hard to reach position are correspondingly difficult to bind together and thus be maintained in a ponytail-resembling shape or configuration. More particularly, the hair strands are helically wrapped with cords or ties, but provision is not adequately made to hold the hair strands in place during the wrapping, and the ending helical coils or turns about the hair strands are difficult to unite to each other by a user reaching back and attempting this chore by feel. Thus, the ponytail hair style of the '741 patent and all other known implemented ponytail hair styles are done with assistance.
Broadly, it is an object of the present invention to implement ponytail hair styling overcoming the foregoing and other shortcomings of the prior art.
More particularly, it is an object to achieve readily unassisted ponytail hair styling to contribute to this hair style, already very popular with teenagers, enhanced facility and use in grooming for school and like occasions, when time is limited and another's assistance is not available.
