Abstract
The invention relates to a method for increasing hair volume or length or adding a different color, including the steps of providing a plurality of extensions comprising several hairs, which are connected by a fixing element, the extensions being aligned and substantially in parallel with their fixing elements located on a support tape having an adhesive face, adhering the adhesive face of the support tape to head hair and positioning the extensions, and connecting the extensions with the head hair by attaching the fixing elements to it Further, the invention relates to an assembly and system for use in such method.
Claims15
An assembly for increasing hair volume or length comprising:
- a removable support tape having an adhesive face to be adhered to head hair;
- and
- a plurality of hair extensions, aligned and substantially parallel to each other, each of them comprising a respective connecting element at the proximal end thereof to be activated for fixing the hair extension to head hair,
- said connecting elements of said plurality of hair extensions being located on the adhesive face of the removable support tape, to retain said hair extensions onto the removable support tape before the activation of said connecting element, said removable support tape being intended to be removed from the head hair after the activation of said connecting element.
A system for use in increasing hair volume or length, comprising:
- a removable support tape having an adhesive face to be adhered to head hair;
- a plurality of hair extensions, aligned and substantially parallel to each other, each of them comprising a respective connecting element at the proximal end thereof to be activated for fixing the hair extensions to head hair, said connecting elements being located on the adhesive face of the removable support tape to retain said hair extensions onto the removable support tape before the activation of said connecting element;
- and
- a gripper device for applying, when said removable support tape is positioned onto the head hair, at least one of mechanical energy, heat and ultrasonic energy via at least one of two pressure elements which are elongated to apply a uniform pressure along a length of the tape on each of said connecting elements, whereby the connecting elements are activated, said removable support tape being intended to be removed from the head hair after the activation of said connecting element.
An assembly for increasing hair volume or length comprising:
- a removable support tape having an adhesive face to be adhered to head hair;
- a plurality of hair extensions, aligned and substantially parallel to each other, each of them comprising a respective connecting element at the proximal end thereof to be activated for fixing the hair extensions to head hair, said connecting elements being located on the adhesive face of the removable support tape to retain said hair extensions onto the removable support tape before the activation of said connecting element;
- and
- means for activating said connecting elements when said removable support tape is positioned onto the head hair, said removable support tape being intended to be removed from the head hair after the activation of said connecting element.
An assembly for increasing hair volume or length comprising:
- a support tape having an adhesive face;
- a plurality of extensions, comprising several hairs, which are connected by a respective connecting element, said extensions being aligned and substantially parallel to each other, each of said connecting elements being located on the support tape at said adhesive face;
- and
- activating means associated with said connecting elements to connect the extensions to head hair;
- the connecting elements comprising plates having at least layers with different melting points.
