Abstract
A method and apparatus for inserting a decorative ribbon into braided human hair. The apparatus is of a needle configuration having an elongated shaft pointed at one end and a ribbon-retaining eyelet at the opposite end. The eyelet has a progressive engagement and retaining insert to selectively engage and hold a ribbon within. A ribbon can therefore pass through the weaves of the braid in a variety of decorative repetitive patterns.
