Throughout the whole document, the term step of does not mean step for.

[0028] Throughout the whole document, the term combination of included in the Markush type description means a mixture or combination of one or more components, steps, operations and/or elements selected from the group consisting of components, steps, operations and/or elements described in the Markush type and thereby means that the disclosure includes one or more components, steps, operations and/or elements selected from the Markush group.

[0029] Furthermore, in the following description of illustrative embodiments, terms related to a direction or a position (upper side, lower side, up and down directions, etc.) are defined with respect to the arrangement state of individual components shown in drawings. For example, the upper side and the lower side may be defined as the upper side and the lower side when viewed from FIG. 1, that is, the left side and the right side on a paper plane. However, it should be noted that when the illustrative embodiment is practically applied, the components may be arranged in various directions with the upper side and the lower side reversed, for example.

[0030] Below, illustrative embodiments and examples of the present disclosure will be described in detail.

[0031] In FIG. 1(a) through FIG. 1(d), a synthetic braiding hair (10) is comprised of a plurality of the first synthetic fibers (20) and a plurality of the second synthetic fibers (30). The plurality of the first synthetic fibers (20) is firstly cut on both ends in a desired length (20-1) from a large fiber bundle. The ending tip of the plurality of the first synthetic fibers (20-1) then becomes constant.

[0032] The ending tip is then pulled through a combing process to make it more like a natural hair ending shape. In FIG. 2, the combing process is performed using a comb table (70) and a pulling device (80). The comb table is comprised of a plurality of needles (71) perpendicularly extruded from a flat surface thereof. A gripper (81) is located in the middle of the pulling device. One end of the plurality of the first synthetic fibers (20-1) is held by a gripper (81) and the other end of the plurality of the first synthetic fibers is placed around the plurality of needles (71) on the comb table (70). The pulling device parallelly moves away from the comb table (70). The plurality of the first synthetic fibers (20-1) passes through the plurality of the needles (71) then is stretched. In a pulling motion, the gripper is slightly and continuously open and close its gap, which holds and releases the plurality of the first synthetic fibers (20-1) simultaneously so that the end of the plurality of the first synthetic fibers (20-1) is differently aligned. The slight misalignment of the fiber eventually gives a natural hair ending shape effect at the tip of it.

[0033] The plurality of the first synthetic fibers is capable of hot water setting to form a curly hair style.

[0034] The plurality of the second synthetic fibers (30-1) is cut about a half length of the plurality of the first synthetic fibers (20), then, as shown in FIG. 1(b), its ending is stretched through a combing process in the same manner described above to create a natural hair ending shape (30-2).

[0035] The plurality of the second synthetic fibers is antibacterial and resistant to moisture and sweat.

[0036] In next procedure, the plurality of the first synthetic fibers (20-2) and the plurality of the second synthetic fibers (30-2) is placed together. In FIG. 1(c), each center of the plurality of the first and second synthetic fibers (20-2, 30-2) is aligned.

[0037] The combined plurality of the first and second synthetic fibers is folded together along the center line to form a hook (40), as shown in FIG. 1(d). The hook is used for stitching the combined plurality of the first and second fibers, or the synthetic braiding hair, (10) to the user's natural hair.

[0038] The plurality of the first synthetic fibers is mostly positioned to the other end of the hook (50) and is used for the hot water setting.

[0039] The plurality of the second synthetic fibers is mostly positioned near the hook and stitched to the human hair, and is antibacterial and resistant to moisture and sweat.

[0040] To manufacture the synthetic braiding hair disclosed herein, the procedure of the following method is suggested in the diagram in FIG. 4, as it shows the step by step procedure of manufacturing a synthetic braiding hair in detail.

[0041] First, a plurality of the first synthetic fibers is stretched. This includes a step of using a gripper that alternately holds and releases one end of the plurality of the first synthetic fibers while combing the other end of the same plurality of the first synthetic fibers with a combing device.

[0042] The combing device is comprised of a plurality of needles on a flat surface. One end of the plurality of the first synthetic fibers is placed onto the plurality of the needles. The gripper alternately holds and releases the other end of the plurality of the first synthetic fibers when pulling it from the plurality of the needles. Through the combined combing motion with alternating gripping, the end of the fibers are aligned with a slightly different length, which results in the natural ending shape similar to the human hair.

[0043] The plurality of the second synthetic fiber is stretched in the same way as the plurality of the first synthetic fibers to create the natural ending shape.

[0044] Then, the plurality of the second synthetic fibers is placed in the middle of the plurality of the first synthetic fibers. This step also includes setting the length of the plurality of the second synthetic fibers to be half of the plurality of the first synthetic fibers.

[0045] Lastly, a hook is formed by folding the plurality of the first and the second synthetic fibers together. The step of forming a hook also includes folding the middle of the now combined first and second synthetic fibers so that there is only the plurality of the first synthetic fibers on the other side of the hook. The user is able to perform hot water setting to create their own curly hair style at this end.

[0046] The plurality of the second synthetic fibers is placed adjacent to the hook, so that the user can attach the synthetic braiding hair to his/her own natural hair using the hook. The plurality of the second synthetic fibers is antibacterial and resistant to moisture and sweat, preventing any skin damage and itchiness.

[0047] The description above of the illustrative embodiments is provided for the purpose of illustration, and it would be understood by those skilled in this profession so that various changes and modifications may be made without changing technical conception and essential features of the illustrative embodiments. Thus, it is clear that the illustrative embodiments described above are illustrative in all aspects and do not limit the present disclosure. For example, each component described to be of a single type can be implemented in a distributed manner. Likewise, components described to be distributed can be implemented in a combined manner.

[0048] The scope of the inventive concept is defined by the following claims and their equivalents rather than by the detailed description of the illustrative embodiments. It shall be understood that all modifications and embodiments conceived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents are included in the scope of the inventive concept.
