  • Publication number: 20050252517
    Abstract: A hair extension used for extending and filling-out existing hair includes an anchor band of a relatively flexible fabric having a frontal outer surface and a rear inner surface which is pressed against the scalp. The anchor band provides mounting holes for accepting a portion of a person's natural hairs which are threaded through them. A plurality of supplementary hairs which make up the hair extension are permanently engaged with the anchor band and extend away from the frontal outer surface so as to drape downwardly. Clamps are engaged with the portion of the primary hairs which extend from the mounting holes so that these clamps lay adjacent to the frontal outer surface. The clamps are crushed or formed so as to hold the primary hairs for immobilizing the anchor band and holding it in place against the scalp.
