SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A hair ring or hair strip with a doll mask serves for replacing the prior art mask which is tied by a hair ring with ears, a hat, a head cover, or an elastic cord. The hair ring or hair strip with a doll mask of the present invention is formed by a hair ring, a plastic mask, and two plastic ears. The hair ring, mask, and ears are made individually and then are assembled as an integral body; or the mask and ears are formed integrally and then are assembled with the hair ring; or the hair ring, mask and ears are formed integrally. After those components are assembled, surface layers are adhered to an inner and an outer wall of the mask. The surface layer is a cloth, a terry surface, a plastic film. After assembling the three components, surface layers are adhered to the inner and outer surfaces of the mask. The nose bridge at the center of the mask and the edge of the ears are installed with a plurality of enhancing trenches, and a plurality of slender metal wires are embedded into the trenches. An edge of the ear is added with a banks of slots, thereby, as the ear is bent, no wrinkle generates for appearing a bad appearance. An elastic cord can be further added to the hair ring or forehead of the mask so as to be more stable and prevent from falling down after being worn. The present invention can be worn easily by children without effecting the hair style.

34

. Furthermore, the upper forehead

31

is installed with at least two positioning holes

35

. Each positioning hole

35

serves to be passed through and positioned by the studs

21

of the hair ring

20

so that the mask

30

is exactly matched with the hair ring

20

. As for the lower two cheeks

33

are formed with nose holes

331

at the center thereof for breathing.

Moreover, the folding edge of the bottom of each ear

40

is formed with a positioning hole

42

for being passed through by the stud

21

. Two peripherals and center thereof are installed with enhancing trenches

43

. Slender metal wires

60

may be embedded into the enhancing trenches. The periphery of each ear

40

is further installed with a plurality of slots

44

which is beneficial for the ears to be prevented from a bad outlook as the ears are bent.

FIG. 7

shows another combination of the ears and mask. Other then a positioning hole

35

, the forehead

31

of the mask

30

has a slit

36

. The slit

36

is extended from the positioning hole

35

. The slit

36

serves to being inserted by the folded edge

41

at the bottom of the ear

40

so as to be positioned rapidly and exactly.

FIGS. 8 and 9

shows a different combination of the ears

40

, the mask

30

and the hair ring

20

.
