Method for creating, extending or repairing hair lock

Affixing multiple locks to a person's head, each hair lock having been made by a process comprising:

• providing a hair group;
• dividing the hair group into more than one and no more than three subgroups;
• processing the multiple subgroups via multi-stage braiding, if there are three subgroups, or multi-stage twisting, if there are two subgroups, with the multi-stage braiding or multi-stage twisting being interrupted by a regrouping of the existing subgroups into an equivalent number of different subgroups;
• and
• following a multi-stage braiding with a multi-stage twisting, and following a multi-stage twisting with a multi-stage braiding, until a desired lock length is attained.

A method for creating a hair lock, the method comprising:

• A) providing a hair group;
• B) dividing the hair group into two subgroups;
• C) two-strand twisting the two subgroups for a plurality of twists, with the two subgroups being regrouped into two alternative subgroups sometime prior to a last of the plurality of twists;
• D) regrouping the two alternative subgroups into three subgroups;
• E) three-strand braiding the three subgroups for a plurality of braids, with the three subgroups being regrouped into three alternative subgroups sometime prior to a last of the plurality of braids;
• and
• F) repeating steps (B) through (E) until a desired lock length is attained.
