Abstract
A new hair extension apparatus and method are employed to adhesively secure a hair weft at areas of exposed skin behind a wearer's ears to avoid damage to the wearer's natural hair. Two separate pieces of a flexible sheer material are each connected to a seam of the weft adjacent a respective one of two opposing ends thereof, thereby providing surfaces that face away from the seam and the strands adjacent the opposite ends of the seam for attachment of the hair weft behind the user's ears.
Claims20
A hair extension apparatus comprising:
- a hair weft having a seam along which hair weft strands are connected at ends thereof to extend transversely from the seam on a common side thereof;
- and
- two separate pieces of a flexible material each connected to the seam of the hair weft adjacent a respective one of two opposing ends thereof, the material of the two separate pieces being distinct from materials of the seam of the weft;
- the separate pieces providing surfaces that face away from the seam and the strands adjacent the opposite ends of the seam for attachment of the hair weft behind a user's ears.
A hair extension method comprising:
- (a) obtaining a hair extension apparatus comprising a hair weft having a seam along which hair weft strands are connected at ends thereof to extend transversely from the seam on a common side thereof, and two separate pieces of a flexible material each connected to the seam of the hair weft adjacent a respective one of two opposing ends thereof, the material of the two separate pieces being distinct from materials of the seam of the weft;
- and
- (b) adhering each of the two pieces of flexible material to skin of the user's head behind a respective one of the ears so as to situate the seam in a position extending across the user's head behind the ears, thereby hanging the hair weft strands at a back of the user's head.
A method of producing a hair extension apparatus comprising:
- obtaining a hair weft having a seam along which hair weft strands are connected at ends thereof to extend transversely from the seam on a common side thereof;
- and
- attaching two separate pieces of a flexible material to the seam of the hair weft, each adjacent a respective one of two opposing of the seam, the material of the two separate pieces being distinct from materials of the seam of the weft;
- whereby the separate pieces provide surfaces that face away from the seam and the strands adjacent the opposite ends of the seam for attachment of the hair weft behind a user's ears.
The method of claim 20 wherein each piece of flexible material is a strip of material extending in a direction transverse to the seams of the hair wefts, which connect to each strip of material at discrete locations therealong.
