Hair clip device and method for attaching hair extensions

A hair clip device for attaching hair extensions comprising:

• a flexible and curved comb element having outside teeth and inside teeth, said outside teeth broadened and spaced from said inside teeth, said inside teeth being more narrow than said outside teeth, said outside teeth having a fastening means on a rear surface proximate each tooth tip of said teeth;
• a flexible cover element comprising the following contiguous regions:
• (a) an uppermost region, hingedly attached to an uppermost region of said comb element;
• (b) an outwardly bulging meshed region;
• (c) a planar region;
• (d) a hinge region;
• and
• (e) a lowermost planar region adapted to be bent backward;
• a first planar hair attachment holder panel hingedly attached to said uppermost region of said comb element;
• and
• a second planar hair attachment holder panel hingedly attached to said planar region;
• whereby a hair extension being attached by its gathered end under each of said first and second hair attachment holder panels.

A method of attaching and detaching a colored hair extension to natural hair by using a color matched hair clip device comprising:

• forming braids of hair on a scalp;
• placing a comb element having teeth of a color matched hair clip device close to the scalp to trap braids of hair between the comb teeth, the comb element having a snap on a rear surface end of each outside tooth of the comb element;
• closing a cover element attached to a top edge of the comb element and having a first and a second hair extension holder panel positioned at the top edge and a bottom edge of the comb element, respectively, and having pins on the underside of each hair extension holder panel for cooperation with pins on a front surface of said cover element;
• said cover element having a median bulging region for accommodating braids of hair, and a plurality of snaps for cooperation with snaps on the outside comb teeth;
• attaching and color matching a hair extension to each of the hair extension holder panels, so that the hair clip device and the hair extensions have identical colors;
• and
• removing the hair extensions from the hair clip device by detaching the cover element from the comb element by unsnapping said snaps with a key when the hair extensions have deteriorated for replacement.
