20080235851 | Single layer, two different sided hair wrap - A head wrap or scarf in a single layer having a first side that is more slippery against another surface and a second side that is rougher and less slippery than the first side. The single layer is formed of two fibers of two different materials with a greater proportion of a first slippery fabric toward the first side of the head wrap and a greater proportion of rougher fabric toward the second side of the head wrap. | 10-02-2008 |
20080282449 | Dorag for pressing on the hair - A dorag head covering including tie straps attached at the front region and being tied around the head. The front region includes a flap which is shaped generally as an inverted V triangle. The straps extend laterally off the front such that upon pulling on or tying the tie straps, the head covering is tightened down on the head, and the V-shape of the flap draws the head covering down. | 11-20-2008 |
20080289081 | Bonnet with spandex elastic strip - A head covering bonnet with an opening for the head and an elastic spandex band below the opening for holding the bonnet to the head. The spandex band is of a width so as not to apply high localized pressure on the hair, and spandex is not rough or abrasive when stretched, unlike typical elastic material which becomes rough and possibly abrasive to hair when the elastic is stretched. | 11-27-2008 |
20080295221 | Hair wrap with different sidedness - A head wrap or scarf assembled from two parts joined on a seam line. Each of the parts is a single layer thick with more slippery fibers on one side and less slippery fibers on the other side. The parts are joined with the more slippery side of one part and the rougher side of the other part facing toward each side of the scarf so that when the scarf is folded, one outward facing surface is slippery and the outward facing surface is rougher. | 12-04-2008 |
20080307561 | DORAG WITH SEAMLESS FRONT REGION - A dorag head covering of one continuous piece of material including opposite tie straps extending sideways out from a front region for being tied around the head. Since the dorag is made of one continuous piece of material, its front region is smooth and seamless. With no seam in the front region of the dorag, no seam line impression forms in the hair after the dorag is removed. The rear region is formed of two flaps seamed together at neighboring edges to form a cap. The blank for forming the dorag is described and a method for forming the dorag from the blank is described. | 12-18-2008 |
20110097293 | MULTIPLE COMPONENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HAIR RELAXATION OF VARIABLE STRENGTH - Systems and related methods for straightening or relaxing human hair. The components of the systems and methods include a formulated relaxer cream or relaxer precursor cream that contains a level of alkali metal hydroxide or alkali earth metal hydroxide and an additional diluent cream of similar viscosity and consistency, yet lacking the alkali ingredient, that serves to dilute the strength of the hair-straightening admixture without any change in viscosity that may render the mixture useless or even harmful. A no-lye system will also include an activator solution, such as guanidine carbonate, to react with the alkali earth metal hydroxide. The components of the systems are mixed prior to application to the user's hair. The systems and methods provide a gentler and safer approach to straightening hair for users whose hair possesses low levels of curl or finer hair texture, for users seeking only a lesser degree of hair straightening. | 04-28-2011 |
20110253161 | Neutralizing Hair Compositions and Methods - The present invention is directed to methods, compositions and kits for neutralizing alkaline hair. The present invention is also directed to methods, compositions and kits for straightening human hair. The methods comprise neutralizing the hair with a hair neutralizing composition comprising at least one fatty acid. The compositions comprise neutralizing compositions comprising at least one fatty acid. The kits comprise an alkali hair relaxer or components for preparing such a relaxer and the hair neutralizing compositions. | 10-20-2011 |
20130061863 | Hair Care Kits and Compositions - The present invention is directed to kits comprising multiple containers packaged in conjunction with each other, which provide convenience to a user when applying multiple hair products to the user's hair. A first container containing a first composition is packaged in contact with a second container containing a second composition, such that a user can easily purchase and transport the two containers together and use both as part of a hair care regimen. | 03-14-2013 |
