TECHNICAL FIELD
[0005] This invention relates to a hair management accessory for
binding, grasping, securing and holding hair in place. More
specifically, the present invention relates to hair clasps which
binds, secures, grasps or holds hair in a pony-tail, dreadlock,
plat, or braid of a boy or a man regardless of age.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0006] Today's women and girls are using various kinds of hair
clasps for holding and securing braids, pony-tails, plats, and
dreadlocks in place to maintain an image and the appearance of the
hair. As a result, various kinds of hair clasps have been developed
to serve different hair maintenance purposes.
[0007] On the other hand, men and boys have masculine stylish hair
images to uphold, are wearing hair styles having pony-tails,
dreadlocks, plats, and braids, and are using rubber bands, women
elastic hair ties, and creativity for holding and securing hair in
place to maintain an image and the appearance of the hair.
Currently, no structured or uniformed hair accessory hardware
exists or is available for men and boys hair to hold, bind and
secure a braid, plat, dreadlock, or pony-tail, and this has created
a hair management accessory void, disparity, disadvantage, and
inequality. The present invention claimed herein will overcome and
fill the hair styling and hair management accessory void,
disparity, disadvantage, and inequality.

provide hair clasps for men and boys hair, for hair styling,
appearance and management.
[0010] It is another object and advantage of the present invention
to provide an etched design for masculine or feminine identity
thereon for wearing at home or office.
[0011] It is yet another object and advantage of the present
invention to provide hair clasps having construction from plastic
and from aluminum for utility.
