Hair extension system and method

Abstract

A hair extension includes a hair weft. The hair weft is made of individual strands of human or synthetic hair. Far infrared powder is deposited onto Polyurethane (PU) and/or Keratin adhesive glue and webbing of silk or synthetic lace is incorporated with hair weft to create the human or synthetic hair PU and/or Keratin skin as connection strip(s). A connection strip receives connected ends of the individual strands of human or synthetic hair. A top adhesive strip is disposed on a top side of the connection strip and a bottom adhesive strip is disposed on a bottom side of the connection strip. The top and bottom adhesive strips both have a left side and a right side. The left side of the top adhesive strip and right side of the top adhesive strip are divided by an adhesive parting line.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Problems solved by technology

The hair extensions of the prior art are utilized by applying two hair extensions on the same portion of hair or folding a hair extension around a portion of hair, making the portion of hair heavy, which can irritate the wearer's hair and scalp.

These extensions may also give the appearance of an unnatural coloration on the roots of the hair.

Clip-on extensions are generally less secure than adhesive-type extensions and heat applied hair extensions generally require a professional and take a long time to apply the extensions.
