  • Patent number: 11324268
    Abstract: Various methods are used to attach hair extensions to a user's hair. According to one method, a user's hair is parted and adhesive tape of a first extension is attached to hair above the part. The first extension and attached hair are lowered, and a second extension is positioned above the lowered extension such that adhesive tape of the second extension substantially aligns with the first extension's tape. The second extension's tape is attached to the user's hair to sandwich the hair between the two extensions. According to another method, a user's hair is parted and a first adhesive tape on one side of an extension is attached to hair below the part. Hair above the part is lowered and attached to the extension's other side using a second tape. A third tape is attached to the user's hair below the first tape to sandwich the hair between the tapes.

  • Publication number: 20200154806
    Abstract: Various methods are used to attach a hair extension to a user's natural hair, where the hair extension may include a section of hair that is secured together across its width proximate one of its lengthwise ends and is free hanging at its other lengthwise end. According to one such attachment method, a first adhesive is used to attach together a first side of the hair extension's secured end and a first section of the user's natural hair. A second adhesive is used to attach together a second side of the hair extension's secured end and a second section of the user's natural hair. Upon completion of both attachments, the hair extension is positioned between and adhered to the first and second sections of the user's natural hair. Each adhesive may be double-sided adhesive tape and may be pre-attached to its respective side of the hair extension's secured end.

  • Publication number: 20170065014
    Abstract: A hair extension includes a section of hair and a substrate. Hair strands of the section of hair are affixed together at a first end by a solidified liquid polymer such that ends of the hair strands are retained within the polymer across a width of the section of hair. The substrate is attached to the polymer on one side (e.g., a rear side) of the section of hair across at least part of a width of the hair section. According to one exemplary embodiment, the substrate is also a solidified polymer. The width of the substrate, as measured along a length of the extension's section of hair, is substantially greater than a width of the polymer, as similarly measured. The wider substrate facilitates reliable attachment of the extension to the user's hair, while the narrower polymer enables the installed extension to remain virtually undetectable.

  • Publication number: 20170020218
    Abstract: A hair extension, according to one embodiment, includes a section of hair having front and back sides, and an adhesive layer attached to the back side of the section of hair. The section of hair is affixed together at one lengthwise end by a pliable polymer. The affixed-together end of the section of hair is retained within the polymer, and the polymer is exposed widthwise across the section of hair on the section of hair's front and back sides. The polymer on the front side of the section of hair is sized and shaped to facilitate attachment of an adhesive layer that may be separately applied by a user or stylist. The adhesive layer on the back side of the section of hair facilitates attachment of the section of hair to natural hair of a user. Alternatively, adhesive layers may be pre-attached to both sides of the section of hair.

  • Patent number: 9339072
    Abstract: A unique human or synthetic fiber hair extension and method are disclosed. One embodiment of the human or synthetic fiber hair extensions come packaged with double sided tape attached to both sides of the hair extension, with the weft and human or synthetic fiber hair attached between the two pieces of tape. The double sided tape is covered with a tape cover or liner on both sides of the extensions. First, the human or synthetic fiber hair extension is positioned for correct placement below the horizontal part line, the liner is removed form the bottom side of the hair extension and the human or synthetic fiber hair extension is secured by pressing into place. The second piece of double sided tape which is attached to the second side of the human or synthetic fiber hair extension and facing up has the liner removed and is then covered with a layer of the users's natural hair, which taken from the clipped area above the part.

  • Publication number: 20160120252
    Abstract: A device usable for fastening objects together includes a substrate, at least one attachment member facilitating attachment to a first object, at least one attachment member retainer attached to a first side of the substrate, and an adhesive layer attached to a second side of the substrate. Each attachment member retainer (e.g., strap, pocket, specially configured stitching) secures one or more attachment members, such as hair clips, to the first side of the substrate. The adhesive layer facilitates attachment of the second side of the substrate to a second object, such as a hair enhancer or a personal accessory. The fastening device may further include a removable backing paper affixed to a side of the adhesive layer which is to be attached to the second object. The fastening device may be pre-attached to a hair enhancer to form a hair enhancement apparatus.

  • Patent number: 8453286
    Abstract: A hair brush is shown and disclosed. The hair brush has a row of loops on the first side running from near the handle to the top mounted in a retention material. Next to the row of loops, is located a row of bundles of boar bristles. These groupings of boar bristles are a bundle of individual boar bristles mounted in the retention material. This alternating pattern of lines or rows of loops and bristles continues to the other side of the brush and the last row near the second side is a row of loops. The loops can be configured such that they are parallel to the sides or the top. These rows of loops on the sides of the hair brush help to keep the hair brush from pulling on and possibly damaging the hair extensions that have been installed into a users natural hair. The bundles of boar bristles provide additional shine and manageability to the hair. Also shown is an arrangement of a single loop surrounded by a plurality of bristles and mounted in the retention material.

  • Publication number: 20110253165
    Abstract: A device usable for attaching a hair enhancer to a person's hair and a hair enhancement apparatus incorporating such a device include a strip of flexible material, at least one hair clip attached to a first side of the strip of material, and an adhesive layer attached to a second side of the strip of material. The adhesive layer facilitates attachment of the device to a hair enhancer, such as a hair extension. The strip of material may be sized and shaped to accommodate one hair clip or a plurality of hair clips (e.g., a row of hair clips). The attachment device may also include a backing paper affixed to a side of the adhesive layer which is to be attached to the hair enhancer. In such a case, the backing paper may be removable by a user to enable the adhesive layer to be attached to the hair enhancer.
