BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1) Field of the Invention

The disclosure relates to hairstyle devices and more particularly pertains to a new hairstyle device for protecting a user's hairstyle while the user is sleeping. The device includes a bonnet, comprised of a friction inhibiting material, which can be worn over the user's hair to protect the user's hairstyle while the user sleeps. A scarf is worn that can be worn around the user's head. Additionally, the scarf is releasably attachable to the bonnet for carrying the bonnet in the convention of a bag.

The prior art relates to hairstyle devices including a variety of hair bonnets that each includes a closure to facilitate the hair bonnet to be employed in the convention of a carrying bag. The prior art discloses a combination bonnet/halter top. In no instance does the prior art disclose a bonnet and a scarf that is releasably attachable to the bonnet for carrying the bonnet in the convention of a bag.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a bonnet that can be worn over a user's hair when the user is sleeping. The bonnet is comprised of a friction inhibiting material to keep the user's hairstyle intact while the user sleeps. An elastomeric member is integrated into the bonnet to retain the bonnet on the user's head. A first coupler is coupled to the bonnet and a second coupler is coupled to the bonnet. A scarf is provided for wearing around the user's head. A third coupler is integrated into the scarf which releasably engages the first coupler for attaching the scarf to the bonnet. A fourth coupler is integrated into the scarf which releasably engages the second coupler for attaching the scarf to the bonnet for carrying the bonnet in the convention of a bag.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As best illustrated inFIGS.1through5, the hairstyle protection assembly10generally comprises a bonnet12that can be worn over a user's hair14when the user is sleeping. The bonnet12is comprised of a friction inhibiting material, including but being limited to satin or silk. In this way the bonnet12keeps the user's hairstyle intact while the user sleeps. Additionally, as is most clearly shown inFIG.5, the bonnet12can be employed as a pillow case16. The bonnet12has a bottom end18, a top end20and an outer wall22extending between the top end20and the bottom end18, and the top end20is open to receive the user's head32. The bonnet12may have a length ranging between approximately 26.0 inches and 30.0 inches and a width ranging between approximately 18.0 inches and 22.0 inches. As is most clearly shown inFIG.3, indicia23may be printed on the outer wall22and the indicia23may comprise a logo, an image, a slogan or any other desired ornamental indicia.

An elastomeric member24is integrated into the bonnet12for urging the bonnet12into a closed condition to retain the bonnet12on the user's head32. The elastomeric member24is integrated into the outer wall22of the bonnet12. Furthermore, the elastomeric member24is positioned adjacent to the top end20such that the elastomeric member24urges the top end20to close onto itself. The elastomeric member24may be comprised of elastic or other type of resiliently stretchable material.

A first coupler26is coupled to the bonnet12and the first coupler26is positioned on the outer wall22of the bonnet12. The first coupler26is positioned adjacent to the elastomeric member24. Additionally, the first coupler26may comprise a snap, a magnet or any other type of multiple use, releasable coupler. A second coupler28is coupled to the bonnet12and the second coupler28is positioned on the outer wall22of the bonnet12. The second coupler28is positioned adjacent to the bottom end18of the bonnet12. Furthermore, the second coupler28may comprise a snap, a magnet or any other type of multiple use, releasable coupler.

A scarf30is provided that can be worn around the user's head32. The scarf30is comprised of a friction inhibiting material, including but not being limited to, satin or silk. In this way the scarf30is inhibited displacing the user's hair14when the scarf30is worn around the user's head32. The scarf30has a first end34, a second end36and an outer surface38extending between the first end34and the second end36. The outer surface38has a top side40and a bottom side42, and the scarf30is elongated between the first end34and the second end36. Additionally, the scarf30may have a length ranging between approximately 26.0 inches and 30.0 inches.

A third coupler44is provided and the third coupler44is integrated into the scarf30. The third coupler44releasably engages the first coupler26for attaching the scarf30to the bonnet12. Additionally, the third coupler44has an upper side46and a lower side48. The third coupler44extends through the outer surface38such that the upper side46is exposed on the top side40of the outer surface38of the scarf30and the lower side48is exposed on the bottom side42of the outer surface38of the scarf30. The lower side48releasably engages the first coupler26and the third coupler44is positioned adjacent to the first end34of the scarf30. The third coupler44may comprise a snap, a magnet or any other type of releasable, multiple use fastener.

A fourth coupler50is integrated into the scarf30and the fourth coupler50releasably engages the second coupler28for attaching the scarf30to the bonnet12. In this way the scarf30can define a handle52for carrying the bonnet12in the convention of a bag. The fourth coupler50has an upper side54and a lower side56. Additionally, the fourth coupler50extends through the outer surface38such that the upper side54of the fourth coupler50is exposed on the top side40of the outer surface38of the scarf30and the lower side56of the fourth coupler50is exposed on the bottom side42of the outer surface38of the scarf30. The lower side56of the fourth coupler50releasably engages the second coupler28and the fourth coupler50is positioned adjacent to the second end36of the scarf30.

In use, the bonnet12is worn on the user's head32when the user sleeps to protect the style of the user's hair14. In this way the style of the user's hair14will remain intact in both style and appearance when the user wakes. Thus, the user does not have to spend time restyling their hair14when the user wakes. As is shown inFIG.5, the bonnet12can be employed in the convention of a pillow case16. Additionally, the scarf30can be attached to the bonnet12such that the scarf30facilitates the bonnet12to be carried.
