The disclosure relates to a hair extension structure.

Description of Related Art

It is human nature to love beauty. With the trend of pursuing overall styling, changes in hair styles are naturally an important aspect of creating beauty. However, the speed of hair growth varies from person to person. It is impossible for hair length to become longer or shorter immediately, and hair color also cannot be changed all the time. Of course, it is also impossible to switch between straight hair and curly hair in a snap. Therefore, the technology of hair extension has emerged to enable wigs of different forms, colors, lengths, and densities to be directly or indirectly attached to the original hair. Such move not only satisfies the trend of pursuing fashion, but also brings a solution to people with thinning hair volume.

However, the existing hair extension structures are mostly made of polyurethane (PU) substrates. The PU substrates are easy to process due to being softer, but are also easily damaged due to bending, so the service life cannot be effectively increased. Furthermore, the hair extension structure is in contact with the skin of the user. Therefore, how to improve the structural strength of the hair extension structure while increasing the comfort for the user, so as to prevent the user from the feeling of a foreign object and causing unnatural movement, are all issues that should be explored and resolved by relevant personnel. In addition, how to improve the aesthetics of the hair extension structure, so that the hair extension structure can be consistent with the appearance of the original hair without being clearly seen, is also an issue of the existing hair extension structures that needs to be considered.

SUMMARY

The disclosure provides a hair extension structure, which provides a simple and relatively strong structure that is beneficial for hair extension.

The hair extension structure of the disclosure is configured to arrange at least one second hair bundle on at least one first hair bundle of the user.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DISCLOSED EMBODIMENTS

FIG. 1 is a usage state view of a hair extension structure according to an embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 2A is an exploded view of the hair extension structure of FIG. 1. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2A at the same time. In the embodiment, a hair extension structure 100 is configured to arrange at least one second hair bundle F2 on a first hair bundle F1 of the user, so as to achieve the effect of consecutively forming the first hair bundle F1 and the second hair bundle F2 with each other. Here, the first hair bundle F1 is, for example, the original hair bundle of the user. The second hair bundle F2 is, for example, a consecutive hair bundle (i.e. a hair bundle of a wig) consecutive to the original hair bundle.

In the embodiment, the hair extension structure 100 includes a spiral member 110 and a fixing member 120. The first hair bundle F1 is adapted to pass through the spiral member 110. The second hair bundle F2 is adapted to be arranged on the spiral member 110 and located at a peripheral position surrounding the first hair bundle F1. The fixing member 120 is flexible and arranged at an end of the spiral member 110 to abut against the spiral member 110. The first hair bundle F1 passes through the fixing member 120 and is clamped when the fixing member 120 is deformed.

Furthermore, the spiral member 110 of the embodiment is, for example, a spiral spring, which is composed of multiple loop coils 112 consecutive to each other and arranged on a same axis L1. The second hair bundle F2 is arranged on the loop coils 112. The first hair bundle F1 passes through the loop coils 112. Here, the second hair bundle F2 may be combined with the loop coils 112 in a physical or chemical manner such as tying or bonding, so as to enable the first hair bundle F1 to pass through an inner space 114 surrounded by the loop coils 112, so that the second hair bundle F2 at the peripheral position may provide the effect of shielding the first hair bundle F1 to maintain the aesthetic requirement of hiding the hair extension structure 100.

FIG. 2B is a partial schematic view of the hair extension structure of FIG. 2A after being assembled. Please refer to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B at the same time. In the embodiment, the spiral member 110 has a first end E1 and a second end E2 opposite to each other, and at least one end is a closed end (here, the first end E1 is taken as an example, and the second end E2 of the embodiment is an open end), which is configured to prevent the second hair bundle F2 disposed on the loop coils 112 from falling off the spiral member 110. Furthermore, in the embodiment, the loop coils 112 at the first end E1 of the spiral member 110 are pressed and deformed, so that the loop coils 112 are combined with each other at the end part to form the closed structure. Conversely, if an open structure (such as the second end E2) is adopted at the first end E1, that is, the loop coils 112 are not combined with each other at the end part, the second hair bundle F2 on the loop coils 112 may move along the loop coils 112 due to the friction between the hair bundles. Therefore, it is possible that the second hair bundle F2 may be removed from the loop coils 112 from the open structure. Here, the form of forming the closed end is not limited. In addition to physically deforming the loop coils 112 to be combined with each other, the required structure may also be achieved by adopting manners such as bonding or welding. It should be noted that the first end E1 and the second end E2 may both be closed ends.

In the embodiment, the fixing member 120 has an opening 122 and is arranged on the same axis L1 as the loop coils 112. The first hair bundle F1 sequentially passes through the inner space 114 of the loop coils 112 and the opening 122. When the fixing member 120 is deformed, the opening 122 is compressed to clamp the first hair bundle F1.

In detail, the loop coils 112 of the embodiment have equal inner diameters. The fixing member 120 is a cone body, which includes a body 121 and the opening 122 therein. A part of the cone body is inserted into the loop coils 112 of the spiral member 110 to be deformed, so as to compress the cone body and the opening 122 therein. Here, a body 121a and an opening 122a shown in FIG. 2B represent a deformed (compressed) state. In this way, the first hair bundle F1 originally passing through the body 121 is clamped by the body 121a in FIG. 2B. Furthermore, in the embodiment, a maximum outer diameter d2 of the cone body is greater than an inner diameter d1 of the loop coil 112 and is not inserted into the spiral member 110, which enables the fixing member 120 to provide the effects of abutting and supporting the spiral member 110. In other words, the fixing member 120 serves as a blocking component of the spiral member 110 to prevent the situation of the spiral member 110 falling off from the first hair bundle F1. It should also be mentioned that since the fixing member 120 is inserted from the second end E2 of the spiral member 110, the possible situation of the second hair bundle F2 arranged in the loop coils 112 falling off may be effectively prevented. Therefore, the second end E2 of the embodiment does not need to form a closed end.

FIG. 3A is a usage state view of a hair extension structure according to another embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 3B is a partial cross-sectional view of the hair extension structure of FIG. 3A. Please refer to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B at the same time. In a hair extension structure 200 of the embodiment, the spiral member 210 is substantially the same as the spiral member 110 of the foregoing embodiment. The spiral member 210 also has loop coils with equal diameters (inner diameters d1) and a first end E3 also forms a closed end. However, the difference is that a second end E4 of the spiral member 210 is also a closed end. In addition, a fixing member 220 of the embodiment is a loop body and arranged on the same axis L 1 as the loop coils 112. The first hair bundle F1 passes through the loop body. The loop body is deformed to clamp the first hair bundle F1. As shown by the deformed fixing member 220 in FIG. 3B, since a maximum outer diameter d3 of the deformed fixing member 220 is greater than the inner diameter d1 of the spiral member 210, the fixing member 220 may abut against the spiral member 210 to serve as the blocking component of the spiral member 210 the same as the foregoing embodiment, so as to prevent the spiral member 210 from falling off the first hair bundle F1. It is worth mentioning that the fixing member 220 of the embodiment is clamped and flattened from a circular shape to an elliptical shape with a tool (such as a clamp) to achieve the required effect of clamping the first hair bundle F1.

In summary, in the embodiments of the disclosure, the hair extension structure is configured by respectively arranging the second hair bundle and the first hair bundle of the user on the spiral member and the fixing member. The first hair bundle passes through the spiral member and the fixing member. The second hair bundle is arranged on the spiral member and located at the periphery of the first hair bundle. The fixing member is arranged at the end of the spiral member to deform the spiral member, so as to clamp and fix the first hair bundle.

In an embodiment, the fixing member is a cone body and is configured to be partially inserted into the spiral member to be deformed, so as to provide the effect of clamping the first hair bundle. Also, since the maximum outer diameter of the part that is not inserted into the spiral member is greater than the inner diameter of the loop coil, the spiral member can be blocked accordingly. In another embodiment, the fixing member is a loop body, which is deformed by clamping with a tool. Since the maximum outer diameter after deformation is greater than the inner diameter of the loop coil, the spiral member can also be blocked accordingly.

Accordingly, in addition to successfully completing the consecutive relationship of the first hair bundle and the second hair bundle, the different hair bundles are also adapted onto different components to prevent the situation of the hair bundles interfering with each other while enabling the second hair bundle located at the peripheral position to provide the effect of shielding the first hair bundle. Furthermore, by arranging the fixing member at the end of the spiral member and abutting against the spiral member, the hair extension structure can achieve the objective of simultaneously fixing the first hair bundle and the second hair bundle with the simple and relatively strong component composition.
