  • Patent number: 11819110
    Abstract: The invention can be used by persons that use tape-in style hair extensions. The invention includes a flat panel with several horizontal entry points aligned in rows. Both sides of the panel are utilized. A tape-in style hair extension is fed into the panel through a horizontal entry point from one side and comes through on the other side. The hair is then fastened by the clip/fastener on the opposite side just above the horizontal entry point. Vertically, each set of horizontal entry points, coupled with a clip/fastener on the opposite side, is also spaced apart leaving room for the user to have workspace for each individual hair extension. Once the hair extension is secured by the clip/fastener, the user can then remove the old tape-tab and prepare the tape-in style hair extension for reuse by adhering a new tape tab to each extension.
