Abstract
Apparatus and associated methods relate to a hand-tied hair weft having at least two hair bundles fixed to three or more thread-like filaments that provide a cortex, where each two adjacent hair bundles are separated by one or more knots formed by the three or more thread-like filaments. In an illustrative example, the two adjacent hair bundles may be separated by, for example, at least two knots. The knots may include overhand knots. By introducing one or one or more knots, the width of the hand-tied hair weft may be customized without the weft shedding or unraveling.
Claims19
A method of making a hand-tied hair weft, the method comprising:
- (a) preparing a machine having a first leg and a second leg and a number of poles detachably coupled to each leg;
- (b) preparing three or more filaments having distal ends and proximal ends, wherein the three or more filaments are configured to provide a cortex;
- (c) detachably coupling the distal ends to a first corresponding number of poles detachably fixed to the first leg;
- (d) detachably coupling the proximal ends to a second corresponding number of poles detachably fixed to the second leg such that the three or more filaments are in a stretched state;
- (e) fixing a first hair bundle to the three or more filaments;
- (f) using the three or more filaments to form one or more knots;
- and,
- (g) fixing a second hair bundle to the three or more filaments next to the one or more knots.
A method of making a hand-tied hair weft, the method comprising:
- (a) preparing a machine having a first leg and a second leg and a number of poles detachably fixed to each leg;
- (b) preparing N filaments having distal ends and proximal ends, wherein, the N filaments are configured to provide a cortex;
- (c) detachably coupling the distal ends to a first plurality of poles detachably fixed to the first leg;
- (d) detachably coupling the proximal ends to a second plurality of poles detachably fixed to the second leg such that the N filaments are in a stretched state;
- (e) fixing a first hair bundle to the N filaments;
- (f) using the N filaments to form one or more knots;
- and,
- (g) fixing a second hair bundle to the N filaments next to the one or more knots.
