Hairstyles can't be used in industry, and they don't have the practicability stipulated in the patent law, so they can't be patented.
Utility model refers to a new technical scheme suitable for practical use for the shape, structure or combination of products. The utility model patent only protects the product. Products should be manufactured by industrial methods and occupy a certain space. All related methods (including the use of products) and natural objects that have not been artificially manufactured are not protected by utility model patents.
The above methods include manufacturing methods, using methods, communication methods, processing methods, computer programs and using products for specific purposes. For example, the manufacturing method of a gear, the dust removal method in the workshop, the data processing method, the naturally occurring rain flower stone and so on. Can't be protected by utility model patent.

The invention or utility model for which a patent is applied must be substantially different from the existing technology before the filing date in the composition of the technical scheme, and must be the result of creative thinking activities, rather than the result that the existing technology can naturally obtain through simple analysis, induction and reasoning. Invention is more creative than utility model. Creative judgment is based on the knowledge and judgment ability of ordinary technicians in their respective fields.
3, practicality,
