Curl creation, enhancement, and preservation hair cap
View Patent ↗A hair cap may create and/or enhance natural hair curls and/or preserves and/or adds hair volume without using, heat, chemicals, or expensive equipment. The hair cap may include a headband attached to a firm inner platform/rim surrounded by an attached cloth which may be formed of microfiber. The cloth may be wrapped around the user's head and then secured using an attachment mechanism to hold curls on top of the user's head with the curls resting on the platform. The top portion of the hair cap or bonnet may be open so that it does not depress down on the user's hair or head. This may allow better overall curl formation and volume. The opening also may facilitate personalized shaping and styling of the hair.
