Abstract
A hairpiece for positioning on a person's head and augmenting her natural hair includes a first layer of material having a plurality of hair strands attached thereto. A second layer of material has a plurality of hair strands stylized in a different manner than the hair strands attached to the first layer. The first and second layers are attached to each other. The hairpiece can be worn in a first position in which the second layer is adjacent to the wearer's head and the plurality of hair strands attached to the first layer extend outwardly from the wearer's head. When desired the hairpiece can be removed from the wearer's head and inverted so that the first layer is adjacent to the wearer's head and the hair strands on the second layer extend outwardly from the wearer's head.

A hairpiece for positioning on a wearer's head comprising:
- (a) a first layer of material adapted for positioning on the wearer's head, and a first plurality of hair strands attached to the first layer;
- (b) a second layer of material adapted for positioning on the wearer's head and attached to the first layer, and a second plurality of hair strands attached to the second layer;
- and
- (c) wherein the hairpiece can be selectively worn in a first position wherein the second layer is adjacent to the wearer's head and the first plurality of hair strands extend outwardly from the wearer's head, and a second position wherein the first layer is adjacent to the wearer's head and the second plurality of hair strands extend outwardly from the wearer's head.
A hairpiece for positioning on a wearer's head comprising:
- (a) a first layer of material adapted for positioning on the wearer's head;
- (b) a first plurality of hair wefts attached to the first layer, said first plurality of wefts comprising a plurality of hair strands having a first hairstyle;
- (c) a second layer of material adapted for positioning on the wearer's head and attached to the first layer;
- (d) a second plurality of hair wefts attached to the second layer, said second plurality of wefts comprising a plurality of hair strands having a second hairstyle that is distinct from the first hairstyle;
- and
- (e) wherein the hairpiece can be selectively worn in a first position wherein the second layer is adjacent to the wearer's head and only the hair strands of the first plurality of hair wefts extend freely and outwardly from the wearer's head, and a second position wherein the first layer is adjacent to the wearer's head and only the hair strands of the second plurality of hair wefts extend freely and outwardly from the wearer's head, whereby the wearer can selectively display the first hairstyle or second hairstyle.
A method of augmenting a person's natural hair comprising:
- (a) placing a portion of the person's natural hair in a bound configuration;
- (b) providing a hairpiece comprising:
- (i) a first layer of material adapted for positioning on the wearer's head, and a first plurality of hair strands having a first hairstyle attached to the first layer,
- (ii) a second layer of material adapted for positioning on the wearer's head and attached to the first layer, and a second plurality of hair strands having a second hairstyle that is distinct from the first hairstyle attached to the second layer, and
- (iii) an outer pocket formed along an outer perimeter of the first layer of material, and a drawstring positioned within the outer pocket and exiting through an opening in the outer pocket, whereby pulling the drawstring pulls outer edges of the first and second layers inwardly;
- and
- (c) positioning the hairpiece over the bound configuration with the second layer adjacent to the wearer's natural hair and pulling the drawstring, whereby the hairpiece is tightened around the bound configuration, the second plurality of hair strands are contained under the second layer of material and the first plurality of hair strands extend outwardly from the first layer of material thereby displaying the first hairstyle.
