  • Publication number: 20160015106
    Abstract: A hair increasing tool including two large-diameter portions on a line-member having a predetermined length with a certain distance, and tube-members which can be plastically deformed fixed to each of the near locations of the large-diameter portions. A line-member portion between the two large-diameter portions is defined as a plant-area and first false hairs are fixed to plural positions of the plant-area with predetermined interval(s). The tube-members are collapsed to be plastically deformed with the remaining hairs on the head inserted therein, thereby fixing the tube-member to the hairs. The line-member portion is placed along the surface of the head, and the line-member portion is fixed by knotting the hairs located at both sides of the line-member portion together as pinching the line-member portion at a plurality of positions. Accordingly, the hair increasing tool can be fixed to the head with sufficient strength and stability without using adhesive agent.
