| Abstract: |
A long, pointed hair stitching shaft is presented for decorating hair with a scarf or similar decorative item. The shaft is approximately 51/2 inches long, 1/8 inch thick and is pointed at both ends. One end of a scarf is inserted through a diamond-shaped aperture eyelet near one end of the shaft and is snugly secured to the long shaft due to the pointed apex of the diamond aperture eyelet. The scarf may then be pulled through the hair in many decorative and ornamental patterns. Since the shaft is pointed at both ends, the direction of travel of the shaft may be charged in order to create many different ornamental and decorative patterns of the scarf as it is threaded through the hair. This long shaft may be used to thread scarves, ribbons, or other cloth material through long or short hair, through one or two ponytails, or through a wide variety of hair styles depending upon the preference of the user.
