US 2026/0041182 A1 · HAIR EXTENSIONS AND METHOD OF ATTACHMENT

Abstract

A hair extension system featuring an angled flexible hair extension strip that overcomes limitations of traditional horizontal tape-in extensions. The hair extension comprises hair strands held by an angled strip having opposing ends in different horizontal planes, allowing application at 10-70 degrees relative to horizontal. This angled configuration prevents hair buckling, enables closer placement to hairlines and part lines, and provides natural movement for ponytails. The system includes adhesive tape with an extended tab that allows manipulation without contaminating the adhesive surface, preventing transfer of oils and dirt from fingers. The tab is secured by perforations for easy removal. The angled design follows natural head contours, creating softer visual lines, improved color blending, and enhanced concealment compared to horizontal extensions while enabling faster application and superior styling versatility.
