Hair Extension System
A hair extension system is a system that enables users to make their own custom hair extensions in any style or design. The system serves as a kit that includes the tools and materials necessary for the user to make their own custom-made hair extension. The system also facilitates the attachment of the custom hair extensions to the user's head. The system may include a fabric backing, a plurality of adhesive strips, and at least one hair-attachment mechanism. The fabric backing supports the structure of the custom hair extension and increases the comfort of wearing the custom hair extension. The plurality of adhesive strips facilitates the making of the custom hair extension by enabling the attachment of hair wefts onto the fabric backing in a simple manner. The at least one hair-attachment mechanism secures the custom hair extension to the user's head so that the user can perform everyday activities.
The present invention relates generally to hair accessories and Do It Yourself (DIY) kits. More specifically, the present invention provides a hair extension system that enables users to easily make their own custom hair extensions.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThere is a wide variety of hair accessories that can be utilized to create multiple hair styles. Some of the most popular hair accessories today are hair extensions due to their versatility. For example, hair extensions can be used to simply extend the overall hair length of the user or to create more complex hair styles by adding volume to the hair, adding different color highlights to the hair, etc. There are many types of hair extensions currently available in the market, such as artificial hair extensions, hair extensions made from natural hair, etc. In addition, hair extensions can come with different features, such as hair fasteners or ornaments. However, there is often the need for the user or the hair stylist to make their own hair extension that meets their needs. There are some services available to users that offer custom hair extensions, but these services can be expensive for some. Further, there is instructional material publicly available that teaches users how to make and apply their own hair extensions. Unfortunately, the users must obtain all the materials themselves, and for inexperienced users the process can be complicated and even frustrating.
An objective of the present invention is to provide a hair extension system that enables users to create their own custom hair extensions easily and quickly. The present invention provides a system that facilitates the creation of custom hair extensions by providing all the tools and materials necessary to meet the users' needs. Another objective of the present invention is to provide a hair extension system that facilitates the making of a hair extension that is durable, easy to use, and comfortable to wear. The hair extensions made using the present invention do not easily shed and can be easily applied to the user's head using a variety of techniques. Additional features and benefits of the present invention are further discussed in the sections below.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention is a hair extension system that enables users to create custom hair extensions that can be utilized for different hair styles and techniques. The hair extension system facilitates the creation of different hair extension types such as sew-in hair extensions, tape-on hair extensions, halo hair extensions, clip-in hair extensions, ponytail clip-in hair extensions, beaded weft hair extensions, or beaded hair tress hair extensions. The hair extension system includes a multi-purpose hair weft designed with a thin, flexible, and durable construction that enables the hair weft to be used for different hair extension styles. Furthermore, the present invention provides different tools to form the desired hair extension style. These tools can be manipulated as necessary to build the desired hair extension style. These tools also include multiple fastening means, such as hair clips or hair combs, that facilitate the attachment of the hair extension to the head of the user. Thus, the user can easily and quickly make their own hair extensions in any style and then easily attach the custom hair extensions onto their heads or other users'. In addition, the user can attach the multi-purpose hair weft to the rest of the assembly by using traditional techniques such as adhesive or thread material to secure the multi-purpose hair weft to the custom hair extension.
All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
