  • Patent number: 7320327
    Abstract: Various embodiments of wefted hair extension attachments include attachment strands extending from the weft base or edge of the attachment. These attachment strands are braided or intertwined directly into the braids formed in the native hair of the wearer as those braids are being formed, without need for additional sewing and thread, adhesives, or other attachment apparatus. The weft base may comprise a relatively narrow, linear weft edge having the hair strands and attachment strands extending in the same direction therefrom, or may comprise a two-dimensional crown sheet having the hair strands extending from a series of wefts from one surface of the sheet and the attachment strands extending from the opposite surface. Each embodiment may include a separator sheet between the hair strands and the attachment strands, to facilitate the manipulation of the attachment strands during installation.

  • Publication number: 20060191550
    Abstract: The hair-on-hair extension system has hair extensions that include a generally continuous span of natural and/or synthetic attachment hair strands extending from the weft base or edge of the attachment. The attachment hair strands are braided or intertwined directly into braids formed in the native hair of the wearer as those braids are being formed, without the need for additional attachment apparatus. The weft base may include a relatively narrow, linear weft edge having the hair extension and attachment strands extending in the opposite or same direction therefrom, or may include a two-dimensional crown sheet having the hair extension strands extending from a series of wefts from one surface of the sheet and the hair attachment strands extending from the opposite surface. The hair extension may include a separator sheet between the hair extension and hair attachment strands to facilitate manipulation of the hair attachment strands during installation.

  • Publication number: 20050098191
    Abstract: Various embodiments of wefted hair extension attachments include attachment strands extending from the weft edge of the attachment. These attachment strands are braided or intertwined directly into the braids formed in the native hair of the wearer as those braids are being formed, without need for additional sewing and thread, adhesives, or other attachment apparatus. Use of the present hair extensions saves considerable time for both the person who is installing the hair extensions on the wearer, as well as for the wearer. This is due to the combining of the braiding of the wearer's native hair into an attachment braid or braids, and the securing of the hair extension(s) to the braid(s), in a single step, rather than requiring the braids to be formed and then attaching the hair extensions in a subsequent step, as is accomplished conventionally.
