Abstract:
1. A method of quickly drying and styling hair into a waved formation comprising the steps of: selecting an absorbent fabric covered hair clip wherein the absorbent fabric covered hair clip comprising a claw clip and an absorbent material covering: the claw clip having two jaw portions arched in a concave sense; said jaw portions having tines and being hingedly and resiliently connected together to urge said tines together for gripping hair, wherein said jaw portions are connected along a center axis, said jaw opening and closing arrangement comprises at least one spring means which urge the tines together; said claw clip also comprises a pair of handles disposed on the end of the jaws remote from the tines; said absorbent material covering is an absorbent fabric secured substantially around said claw clip, leaving only said gripping teeth uncovered by the absorbent material covering; grasping and scrunching a section of wet or damp hair; opening said absorbent fabric covered hair clip by pressing the handles together; closing said absorbent fabric covered hair clip about the scrunched section of wet or damp hair by releasing the handles; removing the absorbent fabric covered claw clip when the scrunched hair section is substantially dry; whereby, the absorbent material covering dries the hair more quickly by absorbing some of the moisture from the hair, the jaws help squeeze the moisture from the hair into the absorbent material covering, the softness of the absorbent material covering keeps the more rigid jaws from crimping the hair while drying, resulting in smooth continuous waves or curls.
