Abstract
An improved hair extension includes a base portion that is oblique with respect to a horizontal reference. The hair strands coupled to the base portion define an oblique (e.g., non-perpendicular angle) with respect to the base. In this configuration, the hair strands fall vertically while the base is angled. This prevents undue stresses in the hair and in the base due to bending when traditional hair extensions are placed in a tilted manner and reduces unwanted bumps due to these inflection points.
Claims20
A method of installing a hair extension section at an installation site of a wearer, the hair extension section comprising a base portion comprising a plurality of extension strands extending from the base portion at an oblique angle relative to a length of the base portion, the method comprising:
- selecting the installation site;
- sectioning, at the installation site, natural hair of the wearer at the oblique angle such that an upper section of natural hair is parted from a lower section of natural hair by an angled path that is angled with respect to a sagittal axis of the wearer;
- select the base portion from a set of base portions;
- preparing an adhesive for attachment of the base portion to the lower section of natural hair;
- aligning the base portion of the hair extension section with the angled path;
- placing the prepared adhesive against the lower section of natural hair to affix the hair extension section against the lower section of natural hair such that the plurality of extension strands fall parallel to strands of natural hair of the lower section of natural hair;
- and
- causing the adhesive to affix to the hair extension section against the lower section.
A method of installing a hair extension section at an installation site of a wearer, the hair extension section comprising a base portion comprising a first section and a second section and a plurality of extension strands extending from at least one of the first section or the second section at an oblique angle relative to the respective section of the base portion, the method comprising:
- sectioning, at the installation site, natural hair of the wearer at the oblique angle such that an upper section of natural hair is parted from a lower section of natural hair by an angled path that is at least partially angled with respect to a sagittal axis of the wearer;
- aligning at least one of the first section or the second section of the base portion of the hair extension section with the angled path;
- placing the base portion against the lower section of natural hair to affix the hair extension section against the lower section of natural hair such that the plurality of extension strands fall parallel to strands of natural hair of the lower section of natural hair;
- and
- affixing the hair extension section against the lower section at the installation site.
A hair extension section comprising:
- a base portion comprising:
- a first section;
- and
- a second section;
- and
- a plurality of extension strands extending from at least one of the first section or the second section at an oblique angle relative to the respective section of the base portion.
