Abstract

A hair locking tool charm has an elongated shaft with a longitudinal channel. The shaft has a cylindrical first end and a tapered second end. The channel has a continuous sidewall parallel to a discontinuous sidewall. The discontinuous sidewall includes two overlapping members with an interspace between. The channel tapers to a narrow end near the first end of the shaft. A method of locking hair with the tool charm includes putting hair in the interspace, manipulating the hair into the narrow end of the channel, and guiding the hair around the first end into a v-shaped notch. Insert the tapered end into a lock or braid, pull the tool charm through, and release the hair from the notch and the channel. When not in use, the tool charm may be worn as an adornment.
