US 11,986,036 B2 · System and method of supplementing human hair volume

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for supplementing human hair. A system and method includes a wire coupled to an existing hair, wherein the wire pulls the existing hair through a funnel and microtube. A sleeve with supplemental hairs is positioned on the microtube and configured to be coupled to the existing hair. After the existing hair passes through the microtube, the wire, funnel, and microtube are removed, thus leaving the supplemental hairs coupled to the existing hair via the sleeve. An alternative system and method includes one or more tools for installing two halves of a sleeve with supplemental hairs extending therefrom onto a strand of existing hair. The one or more tools are configured to guide the strand of existing hair into engagement with the halves of the sleeve, thus securing the sleeve and the supplemental hairs on the strand of existing hair.
