Hair-band comb fastener

Abstract

A hair-band comb fastener and method for securing sections of hair of a human being comprising a retaining comb with a hair-band attached to its base. The comb base has teeth extending from two sides; a tooth from the first side lines up with a corresponding tooth from the second side. In use, the comb teeth from the first side are placed into a section of hair; the band is stretched over the hair, and the band is secured around the comb teeth. The invention gives the illusion of a plurality of hair sticks secured in the hair all with a single apparatus.

1 . A hair-band comb fastener for securing a hair section of a human being comprising: 
 a retaining comb with a hair-band attached to its base; the comb base has teeth extending from both a first side of the comb base and a second side of the comb base opposite the first side; a tooth from the first side of the comb base substantially lines up with a corresponding tooth from the second side of the comb base; the hair band extends substantially from one side of the comb base to the other between the first side of the comb base and the second side of the comb base; whereby the comb teeth from the first side of the comb base are placed into a section of hair; the band is stretched over the hair in the direction of the comb teeth ends from the first side of the comb base; and, the band is secured around the comb teeth from the first side of the comb base; wherein the second side of teeth along with the comb teeth ends from the first side that protrude from the captured hair section after the band is secured around them, give the impression of a plurality of hair sticks secured through the captured hair section.    
   
   
       2 . A method of styling hair comprising: 
 selecting a hair-band comb fastener comprising:    a retaining comb with a hair-band attached to its base; the comb base has teeth extending from both a first side of the comb base and a second side of the comb base opposite the first side; the hair band extends substantially from one side of the comb base to the other between the first side of the comb base and the second side of the comb base; a tooth from the first side substantially lines up with a corresponding tooth from the second side; placing the comb teeth from the first side of the comb base into a section of hair;    stretching the band over said hair in the direction of the comb teeth ends from the first side of the comb base; and, securing the band around the comb teeth from the first side;    whereby the hair is secured between the teeth and the band; and the hair-band comb fastener gives the impression of a plurality of hair sticks secured through the captured hair section.
