Braided hair weft

Abstract

The present invention is an apparatus designed to reduce the length of time it takes to add hair extensions and braid individual braids to a person's head. The present invention requires anchoring hair fibers to a weft creating an apparatus for quickly adding the look of individual braids without requiring one to individually braid strands of a person's hair. Creating this apparatus requires: (1) Braiding individual braids from hair fibers; (2) Using thread to stitch the individual braids together creating a horizontal anchor of Singles stitched together forming an apparatus we'll call a Braided Hair Weft. The present invention is a single apparatus that does not have multiple parts. It requires no preparatory work to make ready to apply to one's head because the individual braids come pre-braided and application is simple requiring a single step which is to sew it onto the cornrows on the client's head.

CROSS REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The invention disclosed in this application relates to the invention disclosed in provisional patent application 60 / 879,633, which was filed on Jan. 10, 2007. Accordingly, this application claims the benefit of the priority afforded by provisional patent application 60 / 879,633.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]This invention relates generally to a braided hair weft.[0004]2. Background[0005]There are inventions and products currently on the market that relate to braids and hair wefts. These inventions currently are deficient for a variety of reasons. Some require multiple steps and methods to create their look, and these multiple steps become tedious and laborious. Other inventions currently on the market are undesirable because they look less authentic, and still others require that the user manage the whole unit in its entirety, which results in the wearer having to have the same look each day they wear it....

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a braided hair weft that solves three critical problems: time, cost, and wear ability.
