    Abstract: An attachment device for a suction system. The suction system, e.g., a vacuum cleaner, has an opening through which a suction force is experienced. The attachment device includes a hair extraction element configured to be positioned adjacent to and/or covering at least a portion of, the opening. The hair extraction element is formed of a material, such as rubber, plastic, latex, vinyl and neoprene, etc. that, when slidably moved across a surface having embedded hair, is capable of extracting the embedded hair from the surface. Once the embedded hair has been extracted, the hair may be suctioned through the opening of the suction system.
