Adjustable headband and hair extension holding construction for attaching supplemental hair

Abstract

A headband and hair extension holding construction comprises a headband having a pair of vertically spaced apart outer and inner head straps and horizontally spaced apart external holding straps. A hair extension holding construction having a pair of vertically spaced apart upper and lower holding constructions containing a series of horizontally aligned holding device cooperating fasteners for mutual engagement with a plurality of hair extensions or hairpieces primary fasteners within the initially open interior of the hair extension holding construction. The headband opposite ends having a pair of horizontally spaced apart linking rings or loops. A clasp is enabled for strap and crossbar-action fastening through the linking rings or loops, or may be constructed as a simple link with opposing ends for grasping the loops. In this way, the headband may be drawn into a continuous closed loop for improved fit and concealment of the attached hair extension.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to headbands especially headbands with hair attachments for supplementing the natural hair of the wearer and more particularly to a headband and hair extension holding construction capable of adjustably encircling the head of the wearer, whereby a plurality of hair extensions, including hairpieces, may be detachably held in the headband and hair extension holding construction as an item worn by the wearer to supplement hair, preventing damage to the natural hair of the wearer and providing configurability to the hair extensions attached in the hair extension holding construction for concealment and with comfort.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Hairpieces and hair extensions are well known in the art to address problems associated with hair loss and a desire to supplement hair. A number of attempts have been made to attach or apply human or synthetic hair to the natural hai...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a headband and hair extension holding construction that is designed to hold and support a plurality of hair extensions, including hairpieces, for supplementing the natural hair of the wearer. The headband and hair extension holding construction is specially designed to prevent damage and discomfort to the natural hair and head of the wearer. It is comfortable to wear and may be adjusted to fit different head sizes. The construction is secure and can be easily attached and detached from the wearer's hair. It can also hold an outer garment, such as a scarf, for added convenience. The technical effects of this invention include improved fit and concealment of the hair extensions, increased or decreased circumference of the headband, and the ability to selectively adjust the hair extensions to fit the headband."

Problems solved by technology

However, these attempts tend to stress to the natural hair of the wearer, and as this occurs, coupled with the weight of the supplemental hair as worn and hairstyling, further causing damage to the natural hair of the wearer and with discomfort.

Such headbands, however, present a problem as arc shaped headbands tend to be secured at the sides of the wearer's head, causing friction and discomfort to develop when worn, resulting in further significant problems with movement and displacement of the headbands.

Furthermore, headbands made from plastics, steels and metals tend to be hard, nonflexible, and uncomfortable to wear.

Especially for such headbands made with gripping teeth, there is a significant problem with damaging the natural hair of the wearer.

Furthermore, especially for large areas of hair loss, there is a significant problem with coverage as hairpieces are not generally versatile.

However, the prior art does not teach a headband and hair extension holding construction made of fabric for comfort including an adjustment clasp for increasing or decreasing the circumference of the headband forming a continuous closed loop that will not move under the stress resulting from the wearer's movements, is capable of covering large areas of hair loss as well as for supplementing the length or thickness of the hair of the wearer, providing for a plurality of hair extensions, including hairpieces, that may be detachably held in the headband and hair extension holding construction, preventing damage to the natural hair of the wearer and providing configurability to the hair extensions attached in the hair extension holding construction for concealment and with comfort.
