Abstract
A method of attaching supplemental hair to natural human hair begins with selecting a plurality of strands of human hair growing from a scalp. A supplemental hair bundle includes a plurality of supplemental hair strands previously glued to one another at a glued portion by thermoplastic glue. A joint is formed between the glued portion of the supplemental hair bundle and the selected plurality of strands of human hair. The glued portion is fused using a heating element of an applicator. The heating element may be a heated jaw having a heating channel shaped to receive the glued portion of the bundle. A kneading jaw in opposing relationship to the heating jaw may be used to clamp the human hair and the supplemental hair bundle to mix the fused glue into the strands of human hair.

A method of attaching supplemental hair to natural human hair comprising the steps of:
- selecting a plurality of strands of human hair growing from a scalp;
- forming a joint between the strands of human hair and a glued portion of a supplemental hair bundle, wherein the supplemental hair bundle includes a plurality of supplemental hair strands previously glued to one another at the glued portion by thermoplastic glue;
- fusing the glued portion of the supplemental hair bundle by directly contacting the joint and directly applying heat by contacting and clamping the joint with a heating channel of a heated jaw of a supplemental hair applicator by locating the joint in direct contact with the heating channel and contacting the glued portions with the selected plurality of strands of human hair, wherein the heating channel has a shape that matches a shape of the glued portion of the supplemental hair bundle;
- clamping the joint between the glued portion of the supplemental hair bundle and the selected plurality of strands of human hair using the heating element;
- and
- kneading fused glue in the glued portion of the supplemental hair bundle while the glued portion is in contact with the selected plurality of strands of human hair by closing a kneading jaw of the supplemental hair applicator so that a kneading ridge on the kneading jaw moves toward the heating channel and contacts the glued portion and the selected plurality of strands of human hair.
A method of attaching supplemental hair to natural human hair comprising the steps of:
- selecting a plurality of strands of human hair growing from a scalp;
- fusing a glued portion of a supplemental hair bundle, wherein the supplemental hair bundle includes a plurality of supplemental hair strands previously glued to one another at the glued portion by thermoplastic glue, wherein the fusing is performed by directly contacting the glued portion of the supplemental hair bundle with a heating element, wherein the heating element is part of a supplemental hair applicator that has a heated jaw with a heating channel, and a kneading jaw with a kneading ridge;
- contacting the glued portion of the supplemental hair bundle to the selected plurality of strands of human hair;
- and
- kneading the fused glue in the glued portion of the supplemental hair bundle while the glued portion is in contact with the selected plurality of strands of human hair by closing the kneading jaw of the supplemental hair applicator so that the kneading ridge on the kneading jaw moves toward the heating channel and contacts and deforms the glued portion and the selected plurality of strands of human hair for making the fused glue into the selected plurality of strands of human hair.
A method of attaching supplemental hair to human hair comprising the steps of:
- providing a heating tool having a heating channel on a heating jaw and a kneading ridge on a kneading jaw;
- placing a joint between human hair and a glued portion of a supplemental hair bundle into the heating channel, wherein the glued portion includes supplemental hair strands bonded by cooled, previously applied thermoplastic glue;
- clamping the joint of human hair and the glued portion between the heating channel and the kneading ridge;
- and
- fusing the glued portion with heat from the heating jaw.

- selecting a plurality of strands of human hair growing from a scalp;
- fusing a glued portion of a supplemental hair bundle by applying heat using a heating channel of a heated jaw of a supplemental hair applicator by locating the glued portion in the heating channel and contacting the glued portion with the selected plurality of strands of human hair, wherein the supplemental hair bundle includes a plurality of supplemental hair strands previously glued to one another at the glued portion by thermoplastic glue, and wherein the heating channel has a shape that matches a shape of the glued portion of the supplemental hair bundle;
- contacting the glued portion of the supplemental hair bundle to the selected plurality of strands of human hair;
- clamping the glued portion of the supplemental hair bundle to the selected plurality of strands of human hair while the glued portion is fusing;
- and
- kneading the fused glue in the glued portion of the supplemental hair bundle while the glued portion is in contact with the selected plurality of strands of human hair by closing a kneading jaw of the supplemental hair applicator so that a kneading ridge on the kneading jaw moves toward the heating channel and contacts the glued portion and the selected plurality of strands of human hair.
