FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to generally to creating a head scalp scratcher and hair ornament capable of reaching the scalp thru hair extension and other hairstyles.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:

Hair extension or weaves and other hairstyles make it problematic to reach the scalp when it itches. Individual have resorted to using all kinds of items that may damage their scalp to stop the itch.


The present invention related to a head scalp scratcher and hair ornament. In particular it relates to a head scalp scratcher that comprise of knitting or crochet needles and objects of similar size, design and material and beads. The beads and other objects are used as handles and decorations. It also relates to hairpins.


Regarding knitting and crochet needles sizes and design vary depending on the type of needle.


Single-pointed Needles Sizes range from 0000 to 50, with smaller numbers representing thinner needles. [0007] Aluminum needles come in lengths of 7″, 10″, 12″, and 14″, and size numbers of 0 to 5 in the short lengths and 0 to 8 in the longer.


Plastic needles are made in sizes 0 to 10 ½, 13, and 15.


Wooden needles are 14 inches long in sizes 10 to 15.


Steel needles are now only available in the smaller sizes, 0 to 3.


Double-pointed needles are made in even inch lengths of 5″, 6″, 7″, 10″, and 14″. The sizing of double-pointed needles varies with the material from which the needles are made.


Plastic needles run from 1 through 10, from fine to thick.


Steel double-pointed needles run from 18 to 8, with the highest number being the thinnest needle.


Aluminum needles manufacturers may use the plastic or steel system.


Circular Needles consist of two solid needles joined by a flexible cord. The solid needles are made of bamboo, wood or metal and are sized the same way as single-pointed needles.


The smallest sizes, 0 through 3, are usually made of steel. In addition to the size of the needles, the sizes of circular needles also include a length, typically 29 inches or 80 cm.


Circular needles with lengths of 16″, 20″, 24″ and 32″ are also made. A typical size would be “15 (10 mm) by 29 inches.” The length is the distance from needle tip to needle tip, not the length of the cord.


In relating to the process of converting to metric diameters, the sizes were adjusted slightly. Shaded boxes in the metric column indicate real metric sizes; the others are the equivalent in millimeters to the sizes in other systems.


A Crochet hook comprising a hollow handle open at one end and closed at its other end. A crochet hook tip threadedly carried by said closed end, and a plurality of crochet hook tips disposed within said handle, said hook tips being arranged in tandem relation with respect to each other, and a detachable closure plug for closing the open end of said handle.


Beads can be divided into several types of overlapping categories based on different criteria such as the materials from which they are made, the process used in their manufacturing, the place or period of origin, the patterns on their surface, or their general shape.


Beads are still made from many naturally occurring materials, both organic (i.e., of animal- or plant-based origin) and inorganic (purely mineral origin). However, some of these materials now routinely undergo some extra processing beyond mere shaping and drilling such as color enhancement via dyes or irradiation.


Beads natural organics include bone, coral, horn, ivory, seeds (such as tagua nuts), animal shell, and wood. For most of human history pearls were the ultimate precious beads of natural origin because of their rarity.


The natural inorganics beads include various types of stones, ranging from gemstones to common minerals, and metals. Of the latter, only a few precious metals occur in pure forms, but other purified base metals may as well be placed in this category along with certain naturally occurring alloys such as electrum.


Objects similar size and design of beads will also be used to create the scalp scratchers.
