CA2168271A1 - Hair towel - Google Patents

Abstract

"After having a bath, shower, washing, or wetting your hair.
Towels are hard to hold on your head while drying your hair.
In this invention towel material can be held to the head so that moving around freely is easier while absorbing moisture from the hair."

Description

Specification "This invention relates to a towel being wrapped around hair to absorb excess water after getting hair wet."
"It is common for towels to be placed around head and hair after washing, or getting hair wet. Methods of this type are, however, inefficient because the towel falls off, or sways to the side. Drying hair this way is hard because you cannot bend over, get dressed, or put on make-up due to the heaviness, and bulkiness of the towel. If hair is rubbed dry it can be left tangled, and harder to manage."
"I have found that these disadvantages may be overcome by sewing elastic into the terry cloth material. So the article can be placed over the hair and remain there securely.
Having your hair placed inside this, eliminates the awkwardness of a normal towel, enabling you to move around more freely."

Description of Drawing "In the drawing which illustrates the embodiments of the invention, Figure 1 is a side view partially in section of one embodiment, Figure 2 is a side view of this embodiment.
"The article illustrated shows how the 1 terry cloth material fits over the hair from the 2 forehead to the nape of the neck.
"The 1 material is held in place around the head by an 3 elastic sewn into the material.
"This article may be made of many suitable colours but it is shown in the figure as white."

Other uses Other ways this inventive idea may be used are:
By hair salons after they wash a clients hair, while they are waiting in their chair.
By spa's while clients are getting facials, or massages, this would keep hair out of the way.
In saunas this could be used in place of a bulky towel on the head.
This product could be used to leave hair conditioners in the hair.
