Hair replacement assembly

Abstract

The present invention is a hair piece assembly that includes a plurality of individual hair strands having one end of each of the hair strands within an assembly sandwiched between a connector base and securing cover whereby the hair piece assembly is configured for connection directly to the scalp of an individual. The connector base of the hair piece assembly may be configured in multiple embodiments, at least as connection strips or a cap. In embodiments where the connector base is configured as a connector base strip, the hair piece assembly is comprised of a connector base strip and a securing cover strip. The connector base strip is comprised of a bonding agent having a low melting temperature and the securing cover strip is comprised of a non-dissolving translucent material. Individual hair strands shall be sandwiched between the exterior surface of the connection base strip and the interior surface of the securing cover strip. Upon the application of heat, the connection base strip dissolves and temporarily connects hair strands to the scalp of an individual. The securing cover strip protects the connection of the individual hair strand to the connection base strip, which is connected to the scalp of the individual.

Problems solved by technology

During hair loss, whether from illness or disease, not only does an individual have the difficult challenge of overcoming the illness or medical issue, they have to suffer through the misfortune of substantial or total loss of hair.

Hair loss may also be a result of stress, closed follicles, or other medical issues.

However, traditional hair extensions are not an option in every circumstance because in some instances, there is not enough hair to which the hair extensions may be connected; as hair extensions are typically connected to an individual's hair by way of glue, thread or hair pins.

Conventional bandanas, scarves, and head covers have been tried as a solution to hair loss but they are often not very attractive and require constant attention to keep them from slipping over the ears, down the forehead or coming completely off.

In addition, because bandanas, scarves, and head covers conform to the contour of the head it covers, when a wearer has little or no hair, that fact becomes obvious to an observer because these head cover options lack the appearance they have when worn over a full head of hair.
