Benefits of technology

The patent describes a way to attach hair extensions to a person's scalp in a way that looks natural. The hair extensions can be different colors on each side, which creates a more interesting effect. The hair extensions can also be attached with one side facing the scalp, which makes it easier to blend the hair with the person's own. Overall, this method helps to give a more natural appearance to the person's hair.

Problems solved by technology

However, each of these techniques has its own disadvantages.
One particular disadvantage common to several existing attachment techniques is that often, the hair extension will not sit naturally (or as naturally as desired) on the person's head.
Another disadvantage is a lack of flexibility in the appearance of the hair extension when attached.

Embodiment Construction

[0042]FIG. 1 depicts hair extensions 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Each hair extension 100 comprises a plurality of hair strands. The hair strands are aligned, extending along a body 110 of the hair extension 100, and attached together at one end. At that end, a narrowed, elongate tip section 120 can be seen in FIG. 1, with a shoulder 130 between the body 110 and the tip section 120.

[0043]Micro rings 200 can be used, as deformable members, to attach the hair extensions 100 to a person's natural hair, by inserting both the tip section 120 of the hair extension 100 and a section of the person's natural hair into a micro ring 200. The micro ring 200 can then be deformed, for instance using a pair of pliers or other clamping tool, to clamp the tip section 120 and the person's natural hair together.

[0044]The exact shape of the hair extension 100 may vary in different embodiments. However, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the body 110 of the hair extension 100...

Abstract

The invention relates to a hair extension. In a preferred embodiment, the hair extension comprises strands that are attached together in such a way as to provide a substantially flat configuration, such that opposed sides are defined. This helps the hair extension to lay flat against a person's head. The opposed sides may have different hair colours on them, allowing flexibility and additional styling options. Preferably, the aligned hairs are compressed into a narrowed tip section, which is used to fasten the hair extension to a person's natural hair, using a deformable member such as a micro ring. A method of manufacturing the hair extension, and a method of attaching the hair extension to a subject, are also disclosed.

Description

[0001]This application is the U.S. national phase of and claims priority to international application PCT / AU2015 / 000256, filed on May 1, 2015, and claims priority to Australian Patent Application No. 2014901607, filed on May 2, 2014, each are herein incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates generally to a hair extension, a method for forming a hair extension, and a method for attaching a hair extension to a subject.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Hair extension techniques can be used to extend the length or thickness of a person's hair, by attaching a hair extension composed of foreign hair (either artificial or natural) to the subject's own natural hair. Various techniques can be used for attaching the hair extension.[0004]One attachment technique involves the use of ‘micro rings’. In this technique, a hair extension is formed by gluing a plurality of foreign hair strands together at one end, using specially formulated glue. The glued end of the ...
