Abstract: A method for lengthening of normal hair includes the preparation of filaments which match the color of the normal hair, the attachment of the filaments to the normal hair by braiding the filaments with portions of normal hair, wrapping the braids with portions of filaments and applying a heat hardenable sealer to the wrapped braid. Heat is applied to the wrapped braid using an apparatus which includes a pair of tip members which are adapted for mounting on the arms of a conventional heated curling iron. The tip members include pointed portions and opposing flat surfaces which facilitate the application of heat to limited and selected areas.
