Abstract
A hair accessory is provided for supplementing and/or replacing hair using a magnetic installation techniques. The magnetic hair accessory may include hair material, magnetic material, a coating, an active face, a neutral face, a score, top piece and/or magnetic band. A method for supplementing and/or replacing hair using a magnetic hair accessory is also provided.
Claims20
A hair accessory apparatus comprising:
- hair accessory pieces comprising:
- hair material comprising a hair material base end and a hair material distal end,
- a magnetic material operatively installed to the hair material near the hair material base end, and
- a coating to at least partially enclose the magnetic material and part of the hair material at the hair material base end;
- and
- wherein the hair material is installable to a mounting location via compression of the mounting location by the magnetic material included by the hair accessory pieces.
A hair accessory apparatus comprising:
- hair material;
- a magnetic material comprising neodymium operatively installed to the hair material;
- a coating comprising a reaction polymer that is thermosetting to substantially enclose the magnetic material;
- an active face exhibiting a magnetic attractive force;
- and
- a neutral face positioned approximately opposite to the active face;
- wherein the active face of the hair material magnetically attracts at least one other active face of at least one other hair material to install the hair material to a mounting location via being compressed by the active face and the at least one other active face located adjacent to the mounting location;
- wherein the neutral face exhibits minimal wandering flux;
- and
- wherein the mounting location comprises hair that is naturally grown from the head of a person.
A method of installing hair accessory pieces, each of the hair accessory pieces comprising hair material with a hair material base end and hair material distal end, and a magnetic material operatively installed to the hair material near the hair material base end, the method comprising:
- (a) positioning a first of the hair accessory pieces comprising a first active face near a mounting location such that the first active face with attractive magnetic force substantially faces the mounting location;
- (b) positioning a second of the hair accessory pieces comprising a second active face near the mounting location such that the second active face with attractive magnetic force substantially faces the mounting location;
- (c) compressing the first active face and the second active face about the mounting location via the magnetic material operatively installed to the first of the hair accessory pieces and the second of the hair accessory pieces, the magnetic material being at least partially enclosed in a coating applied to at least part of the hair material.
