Skin Weft Hair Extension

Abstract

A skin weft hair extension includes an extension tip that fixedly holds a plurality of extension hair strands and a metal tube that is detachably assembled to the extension tip and fixes the skin weft hair extension to hair strands of a customer. The extension tip comprises a receiving device that receives and detachably holds the metal tube. The receiving device comprises a narrow-width portion that pass through the hair fixing tube, a stopper portion that is provided at one end of the narrow-width portion, which prevents the metal tube from falling off, and a hair holding portion that is wider than the narrow-width portion. The hair holding portion is provided at the other end of the narrow-width portion.

Claims

1. A skin weft hair extension comprising: a) an extension tip that is adapted to fixedly hold, a plurality of extension hair strands; and b) a hair extension fixing device that is detachably assembled to the extension tip; wherein the hair extension fixing device is adapted to fix the skin weft hair extension to hair strands of a customer; wherein the extension tip comprises a receiving device that receives and detachably holds the hair extension fixing device.

2. The skin weft hair extension of claim 1, wherein the hair extension fixing device comprises a hair fixing tube that is deformable under pressure, whereby when the hair fixing tube is squeezed by a tool, the hair fixing tube fixes hair strands that pass through the hair fixing tube, and when the hair fixing tube is restored from squeezed state, the hair fixing tube is removable from the receiving device of the extension tip.

3. The skin weft hair extension of claim 2, wherein the receiving device comprises a narrow-width portion that pass through the hair fixing tube, a stopper portion that is provided at one end of the narrow-width portion, which prevents the hair fixing tube from falling off, and a hair holding portion that is wider than the narrow-width portion, wherein the hair holding portion is provided at the other end of the narrow-width portion, and is adapted to hold a plurality of extension hair strands.

4. The skin weft hair extension of claim 3, wherein the hair holding portion is fan-shaped.

5. The skin weft hair extension of claim 4, wherein the hair extension fixing device further comprises a loop and a handle to facilitate passing hair strands through the hair fixing tube.

6. The skin weft hair extension of claim 5, further comprising a plurality of extension hair strands attached to the hair extension tip.

7. The skin weft hair extension of claim 3, wherein the hair holding portion is rectangular.

8. The skin weft hair extension of claim 3, wherein a plurality of receiving devices and hair extension fixing devices are provided to one skin weft.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0021] Embodiments will be described in detail below. The accompanying drawings will be used for describing embodiments. For the sake of convenience of illustrating embodiments, thickness, length, diameter, size and other dimensions of components and/or hair would be illustrated or exaggerated to be different with those of actual components and/or hair, and the subject matter of this application is not limited to the illustrated embodiments.

[0022] Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention provides a skin weft hair extension 10 comprising an extension tip 12 that is adapted to fixedly hold a plurality of extension hair strands 14; and a hair extension fixing device 16 that is detachably assembled to the extension tip 12. The hair extension fixing device 16 is adapted to fix the skin weft hair extension 10 to hair strands of a customer. Referring to FIG. 2, the extension tip 12 comprises a receiving device 18 that receives and detachably holds the hair extension fixing device 16.

[0023] Referring to FIG. 3, the hair extension fixing device 16 comprises a hair fixing tube 20 that is deferrable under pressure, whereby when the hair fixing tube 20 is squeezed by a tool, the hair fixing tube 20 fixes hair strands that pass through the hair fixing tube 20, and when the hair fixing tube 20 is restored from squeezed state, the hair fixing tube 20 is removable from the receiving device 18 of the extension tip 12. Use of metal tube for fixing hair extension is well known in the art.

[0024] Referring back to FIG. 2, the receiving device 18 comprises a narrow-width portion 22 that pass through the hair fixing tube 20, a stopper portion 24 that is provided at one end 28 of the narrow-width portion 22, which prevents the hair fixing tube 20 from falling off, and a hair holding portion 26 that is wider than the narrow-width portion 22, wherein the hair holding portion 26 is provided at the other end 30 of the narrow-width portion 22, and is adapted to hold a plurality of extension hair strands 14, The stopper portion 24 is wider than the narrow-width portion 22. The stopper portion 24 may be elastically deformed in order to assemble the hair fixing tube 20 to the narrow-width portion 22.

[0025] In this embodiment, the hair holding portion 26 is rectangular. In another embodiment, the hair holding portion 26 is fan-shaped (refer to FIG. 4). Multiple receiving devices 18 can be provided to one skin weft 10 (refer to FIG. 5).

[0026] Referring back to FIG. 3, the hair extension fixing device 16 further comprises a loop 32 and a handle 34 to facilitate passing hair strands through the hair fixing tube 20.

[0027] Referring back to FIG. 1, the skin weft hair extension 10 further comprises a plurality of extension hair strands 14 attached to the hair extension tip 12.

[0028] In summary, the present invention is a skin weft having replaceable fixing tube. A metal tube is fixed to a tip of the skin weft. The tip of the skin weft is formed to have a narrow neck that holds the metal tube. A stopper is formed at the end of the neck to prevent falling off of the metal tube. A loop and a handle are provided to facilitate handling of hair strands during hair extension work. After use of hair extension by a customer, the skin weft can be separated by releasing hair fixed by the squeezed metal tube. The metal tube is replaced with a new metal tube to use the skin welt again.

[0029] Although the skin weft hair extension according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail hereinabove, it should be understood that many variations and modifications of the basic inventive concept herein described, which may appear to those skilled in the art, will still fall within the spirit and scope of the exemplary embodiments of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

[0030] The drawings and the forgoing description gave examples of the present invention. The scope of the present invention, however, is by no means limited by these specific examples. Numerous variations, whether explicitly given in the specification or not, such as differences in structure, dimension, and use of material, are possible. The scope of the invention is at least as broad as given by the following claims.
