Abstract
A U-shaped thermoplastic hair-connecting element is provided with at least one intermediate partition disposed between parallel legs of the U-shaped element. The intermediate partition can be designed as a longitudinal partition which runs essentially parallel to the legs and which projects from a connector of the U-shaped element. Alternatively, the intermediate partition can be a transverse partition which runs essentially transverse to the legs and perpendicular to the connector which connects the legs to one another. There can also be provided longitudinal partitions together with transverse partitions. Foreign hairs can be embedded into the hair-connecting element either during manufacturing, or in a separate manufacturing step.

A thermoplastic hair-connecting element, comprising a generally U-shaped portion formed by two spaced-apart legs joined by a connector, and at least one intermediate partition disposed between the legs.
A method of connecting foreign hair to scalp hair comprising the steps of:
- A. providing a thermoplastic hair-connecting element comprising a generally U-shaped portion formed by two spaced apart legs joined by a connector, and at least one intermediate partition disposed between the legs;
- B. embedding foreign hair in the element;
- C. inserting scalp hair into spaces formed between the legs and the at least one partition;
- and
- D. deforming the element by pressing the legs together to encase the scalp hair in the element by molten adhesion.
