The patent application pertains to a method of detachably coupling a hair extension to a head covering. The method involves providing a first piece with an open end and a closed end, the closed end having a hair extension attachment coupled to a hair extension. A second piece is secured to the head covering, this piece having a substantially cylindrical core with a first end and a second end, with at least one radial extension extending from the first end and a base on the second end that attaches to the head covering. A spring is secured between the first piece and the second piece such that when the first end is accepted into the open end the spring biases the first piece away from the second piece. The closed end can have a loop and the hair extension can be coupled to the loop.

A hair extension for a ponytail is described. The hair extension may comprise an elastic band having a looped end and a free end. A plurality of hairs may be connected to the band by weaving or sewing the plurality of hairs into a track or weft that is then attached to the band.

A hair band with a lateral and longitudinal stretchable foundation carries a plurality of no-looped-hair hairband strips in a brick layered pattern thereby permitting the hairband strips to move, up, down and laterally with the expandable foundation. The foundation, with an elastically attached filament, encircles the user's head. The strips have hairs disposed in parallel on a tape substrate and adhered thereto by a matrix of hygroscopic sealant, glass silk and polyurethane atop to adhere the hairs to the tape substrate. The parallel mounted hairs avoid cuticular scale interference between adjacent hairs which fall beyond the head of the user wearing the hair band.

A hair piece (1) comprises a foundation (3) having a boundary area (4) extending along a circumference (7); hairs (2) attached to the foundation; and at least one securing mechanism for securing the hair piece to natural hairs of its bearer. The securing mechanism comprises at least one slot (6) in the boundary area, which extends along the circumference and ends in the boundary area in both directions. An adhesive surface (8) extends from the slot towards the circumference. Hairs are attached to the foundation next to the adhesive surface in both directions of the circumference. A section (10) of self-adhesive hair band has an adhesive back to be glued to hairs of the bearer pulled through the slot and pressed against the adhesive surface. This section of self-adhesive hair band is permanently connected to the boundary area at that side of the slot opposite to the adhesive surface.

A hair extension comprises a plurality of extension hair strands, an attaching end that is adapted to be fixed to a hair extension, fixing device and a free end that is opposite to the attaching end. Each of the extension hair strands comprises a first end portion that is held by the attaching end, and. a second end portion that is free thereby forcing the free end of the hair extension. The attaching end comprises a tip portion and a fan portion that extends from the tip portion, which hold the first end portions of the extension hair strands. Each of the first ends of the extension hair strands are extended through, the tip portion, and the fan portion. A method forms the tip portion and the fan portion using a mold while resin forming the attaching portion is plastic.

A hair extension includes a base and a plurality of hair strands. The base includes an inner portion and an outer portion. The inner portion of the base includes a mesh cap including a drawstring moveably coupled to the mesh cap at an outer edge of the mesh cap and a lace piece coupled to the mesh cap. The plurality of hair strands extend through the outer portion of the base.

Replacement hair strands having a hair-joining element comprise a flat, thin platelet with one replacement hair strand embedded on an end of the platelet, and at least one thin rib that protrudes at an angle with respect to the strand direction of the replacement hair strand from one of two flat sides of the platelet. The rib has flat sides that taper toward its free end. The rib has a height and a base thickness, and the height is greater than the base thickness. The base thickness is approximately the same as a thickness of the platelet. The rib is configured to envelop natural hair strands longitudinally aligned with the strand direction of the replacement hair strand to securely connect the replacement hair strand to the natural hair strands.
