Abstract

Hair ornaments that incorporate the wearer's hair into the ornament. The wearer's hair, in some embodiments, becomes the hair of the ornament in those ornaments of doll-like appearance. In other embodiments, the hair of the wearer serves as the beard of an ornament having a Santa Claus or other bearded character theme. Still further embodiments incorporate the wearer's hair as the grass skirt of a hula doll, as the tail of a pony, as the feathers of a bird, and so on. In all embodiments, the ornament is structured to capture at least one bundle of the wearer's hair so that the hair and the ornament are an integral unit.
