Abstract: A bundle of growing human hair is selected. A bundle of supplemental hair is located together with the selected bundle of growing human hair to form a joint at an attachment site. The joint is inserted into an opening between legs of a U-shaped hair clip, and legs of the hair clip are bent and clinched around the joint. Strands in the bundle of supplemental hair may be pre-glued to one another. An apparatus for fastening a bundle of supplemental hair to a bundle of growing human hair includes a base having an anvil. An arm assembly is movably connected to the base. A driver is coupled to the arm assembly for pressing an open hair clip into the anvil to close the clip. A clip for fastening hair bundles has a crown coupled to spaced apart legs. The clip legs are made of a malleable material.

Abstract: An attachment for a hair styling iron, or a new hair styling iron, includes a hair pick and plurality of comb teeth. The hair pick, which is used for selecting and separating hair, may be moveable between an extended position and a retracted position. The comb teeth are located adjacent to a heating element for extending into the hair when the hair styling iron contacts and moves along the length of a bundle of hair. The attachment may be slid over a heating element arm, wherein a retaining lip hooks around to engage an inner surface of the heating element arm adjacent to the heating element. In another embodiment, a new hair styling iron includes comb teeth adjacent to a heating element of the hair styling iron, and a hair pick that extends beyond the end of a heating element arm of the hair styling iron.
