A method of integrating a hair extension weft on a human scalp is disclosed. The hair extension weft includes a polyurethane strip enclosing a plurality of meshes arranged in a longitudinal direction of the strip. Each mesh is configured to have a plurality of contiguous hairs attached in a transverse orientation. The hair extension weft includes several gaps formed between the plurality of meshes in the longitudinal direction. Each gap is configured to receive a plurality of hairs from the human scalp. Upon clipping the hair extension weft to the human scalp, the plurality of hairs is pulled through each gap with a needle shaped tool placed under the each gap of the hair extension weft. A microbead is clamped to the plurality of hairs pulled through the each gap, to anchor the hair extension weft to the human scalp.

A method of attaching hair extensions includes sectioning, beading, securing, and stitching hair extensions into a client's hair. Sectioning allows a hairdresser to properly place the hair extension, which creates beads that are unseen. The beads may be placed so as to allow a flexible groove to place the wefts. Securing the wefts includes a pattern of stitching that places a stitch at a side, middle, opposite side, and between the beads. This stitching pattern promotes secure wefts as well as prevents damage to scalp and hair.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to two or more hair wefts defined by respective filamentous cortices to which hair is secured, which cortices are secured together along their length by at least one binding filament, and to which cortices are coupled an elastic filament to form a hair extension configured such that the cortices and elastic filament are configured to circumscribe a wearer's head. In an illustrative example, a plurality of deformable beads may be disposed between the hair wefts and configured to releasably secure the hair extension to a wearer's natural hair. Each hair weft may, for example, have a plurality of individual hair bundles. Hair bundles may, for example, be separated by a predetermined cut point in the filamentous cortex. Various implementations may advantageously provide a visually undetectable, comfortable, and durable hair extension for a wearer.

A hair extension comprising plurality of bands having hair wefts secured thereto with micro loops adhered between the plurality of bands for attachment to the wearer's native hair. A first band has a front side and a back side and an extension weft is attached to either the front side or the backside, or both. micro links are attached with adhesive. A second band has a front side and a back side and may also have an extension weft attached to either the front side or the back side or both. Micro links are secure to either the back side of the first band or the back side of the second band, or both. The back sides of the two bands are sandwiched together with the micro links therebetween and with the extension hair exposed either exteriorly or interiorly. Also provided is a micro link wrapped with a material on which extension hair is secured. The wearer's native hair is pulled through an inner annulus of the micro link, thus concealing the micro link from view.

Encapsulated hair bands and methods for use are disclosed. An encapsulated hair band includes an encapsulated hair band, including: a horseshoe shaped hair band, having a proximal and distal end, the hair band including, flexible material capable of flexing outwardly whereby the proximal and distal ends may be displaced from an unbiased position to a biased position to fit about the wearer's head; a soft gel; and a cover, including two or more pieces, cooperating to form a cover, the two or more pieces fastened together so as to encapsulate said horseshoe shaped hair band and said soft gel, said soft gel encapsulated so that when the encapsulated hair band is placed upon the wearer's head, the soft gel is between the horseshoe shaped hair band and the cover.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for supplementing human hair. A system and method includes a wire coupled to an existing hair, wherein the wire pulls the existing hair through a funnel and microtube. A sleeve with supplemental hairs is positioned on the microtube and configured to be coupled to the existing hair. After the existing hair passes through the microtube, the wire, funnel, and microtube are removed, thus leaving the supplemental hairs coupled to the existing hair via the sleeve. An alternative system and method includes one or more tools for installing two halves of a sleeve with supplemental hairs extending therefrom onto a strand of existing hair. The one or more tools are configured to guide the strand of existing hair into engagement with the halves of the sleeve, thus securing the sleeve and the supplemental hairs on the strand of existing hair.

The present invention provides artificial hair, an artificial hair unit, a method of applying artificial hair, and a method of applying an artificial hair unit, in which a fiber bundle does not hang down under its own weight, rises up, and exhibits excellent appearance with extra volume at a root. Also provided is a configuration including a base material, a plurality of fiber bundles, and a fixing thread. In the configuration, the base material may have a first side extending in a first direction. Each of the plurality of fiber bundles includes a plurality of fiber parts and a connecting part, where the connecting part connects a first end side of each of the plurality of fiber parts and extends in a direction different from an extending direction of the plurality of fiber parts, and where the fixing thread attaches a vicinity of the connecting part to the base material.

A hair extension apparatus, comprising: a first base member comprising a first front edge, a first rear edge, a first side edge, a first top surface and a first bottom surface; a second base member comprising a second front edge, a second rear edge, a second side edge, a second top surface and a second bottom surface, wherein the second base member is coupled to the first base member; a first artificial hair section comprising artificial hair, wherein the first artificial hair section is coupled to the first top surface of the first base member; a second artificial hair section comprising artificial hair, wherein the second artificial hair section is coupled to the second top surface of the second base member; and a first fastener member coupled to the first side edge on the first bottom surface of the first base member.

A head covering with a band portion in a shape of a flat strip or loop and a plurality of flat members that are connected to or a part of the band is disclosed. The flat members projects toward a top side of the band. An outer surface of the flat members includes or is made of a material that can be fastened to a certain corresponding type of material. Thereby, the invention provides a foundation for hairpieces having a fastening component that corresponds to a fastening component used in the invention. The flat members as a whole generally cover a scalp of a head but not completely, exposing the scalp through gaps between flat members. Especially, a top portion or a crown of a scalp is generally exposed due to an open-top construction of the head covering. However, as a single hairpiece is fastened to multiple flat members, the hairpiece in turn works to hold the multiple flat members together. When more hairpieces are attached to flat members, the flat members become structurally solid in a shape that conforms to the contour of the scalp. In so doing, hairpieces cover and bridge the gaps between flat members, thereby completely covering a head.

Presented is a ponytail sleeve which is used to adhere hair extensions onto and then placed on a user's braided ponytail. The invention includes, but not limited to a soft, stretchy, elastic, material in a tubular shape, drawstring, a drawstring cord lock, and may be utilized with a hair tie which gathers the hair and holds it into a ponytail while the ponytail sleeve is attached. The ponytail can be formed in the back, top, sides, or middle of the users head to achieve the desired look.
