Abstract: A hair weaving tension system utilizing a thread supply tension device (note FIG. 1) comprising a vertical support pole having three spools of thread separately housed within three tension members which resist and control and thereby tension the thread as it is pulled by the operator for use in weaving bands of hair on the head of a person as a hair styling technique (note FIG. 4). The resistance or tension on each thread is produced by a cylindrical housing having a thread opening therein and a mating, cylindrically surfaced bearing member which bears against the housing and thereby against the thread coming through the thread opening (note FIGS. 2 and 3). The frictional drag on the thread can be varied by a set screw whose position can be used to vary the force that the bearing member applies against the housing.
