Method of attaching a hairpiece

A method of attaching a hairpiece to the head of a recipient having at least some natural hair, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing a hairpiece having a base element in the form of an open hole netting to which strands of filaments or the like have been attached to present said hairpiece;
• positioning said hairpiece on the head of a recipient such that at least a portion of the recipient's natural hair underlies said base element when the hairpiece is in position;
• pulling the natural hair underlying said netting through the same for protrusion therethrough to extend above said element;
• selectively forming in a random pattern throughout the area of said element a series of groups of natural hair lengths comprised of a plurality of adjacent lengths thereof protruding through said netting;
• dividing each group of hair lengths into two distinct groups disposed on opposite sides of an adjacent stretch of said netting;
• joining together each pair of groups at a point above their respective adjacent stretch of netting;
• pulling and twisting together each pair of groups such that they are in direct engagement with the proximal netting stretch to snugly dispose the same against the recipient's head beneath the point at which the pair of groups are cojoined;
• locating and tying a knot in each cojoined pair of groups of hair lengths adjacent the proximal netting stretch, after the latter have been pulled and twisted together, such that the portions of hair lengths extending above each knot present free lengths and said hairpiece is firmly secured to the head of said recipient;
• applying a flowable adhesive substance to each knot;
• and
• blending the free lengths of said cojoined groups of natural hair lengths and the remaining natural hair lengths protruding through said netting with the filaments of said hairpiece.
