Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an attachment set for attaching hair extensions, which are bundles of human hair, synthetic fibers, etc., to natural hair. [Background technology]

[0002] Hair extensions are items for enjoying hairstyles. They are strands of hair (sometimes human hair) that are used to create longer, more voluminous hair in addition to your natural hair. The advantage of hair extensions is that they allow you to lengthen your hair freely (easily) and also give it volume. For example, you can dress up your hair (just for the occasion) when necessary (such as for a special occasion or event).

[0003] Hair extensions are a type of false hair or partial wig that are attached to the wearer's natural hair using some method. In addition to braiding, other known methods include using adhesives (tapes), metal tips, heat shrink tubing, elastic threads, etc. Methods recommended for professional use include attaching hair extensions to natural hair using small metal rings called microrings, and attaching hair extensions to natural hair using special adhesives. Another method is known to attach hair extensions to natural hair using ultrasound (using special equipment).

[0004] Also, as a method and device for repeatedly and easily attaching and detaching a hair extension to natural hair, a hair extension attachment method and device such as that disclosed in Patent Document 1 are known. According to this hair extension attachment method and device, the hair extension can be attached to natural hair by the following procedure: "pass the hair through the through hole of the holder → insert the plug into the through hole from the tip side of the hair, sandwich the hair between the insertion part of the plug and the holder to fix the holder and plug on the hair → attach the hook of the hair extension to the ring provided on the plug." Also, the hair extension can be removed by removing the hook from the ring and leaving the holder and plug on the hair. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2009-007709 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, the hair extension attachment method and device in Patent Document 1 requires many components such as a holder that is inserted into the hair, a plug that fixes the holder on the hair, and a hook that serves as a connector for connecting the hair extension to the plug. Since these components are easily noticeable from the outside (because they are conspicuous), it is difficult to meet the wearer's desire for a natural-looking hairstyle.

[0007] To provide a hair extension wearing set that allows a hair extension for making hair look longer and giving volume to hair while maintaining a natural look to be easily worn on natural hair. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above problem, the invention described in claim 1 is a wearing set for attaching a hair extension to natural hair, comprising: a hair extension body consisting of a plurality of human hairs or synthetic resin hairs bundled into a ring shape to form a space at the tip side; a linear member formed by bending a linear material into a loop shape and inserting the bent portion from the inside to the outside of the space in the hair extension body; a (deformable) body fixing member formed into a ring shape with a larger diameter than the space in the hair extension body and formed by inserting a base end portion of the linear member inside the tip of the hair extension body; and a stopper member for preventing the body fixing member from falling off from the base end portion of the linear member.

[0009] The invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that, in the invention described in claim 1, it is provided with a stopper member for preventing the main body fixing member from falling off from the base end portion of the linear member.

[0010] The invention described in claim 3 is characterized in that in the invention described in claim 1, at least a part of the main body fixing member is made of synthetic resin.

[0011] The invention described in claim 4 is characterized in that, in the invention described in claim 1, the hair extension body is a circular string-like body forming the space, and a plurality of vein-like bodies formed by a plurality of human hairs or synthetic resin hairs protruding in a vein-like shape from a single string-like body are radially connected to the circular string-like body forming the space. Effect of the Invention

[0012] The hair extension wearing set described in claim 1 comprises a hair extension body woven so that the tip on the side to be attached to the natural hair forms a space; a linear member that selects multiple strands of natural hair to which the hair extension body is attached from the wearer's natural hair and passes the multiple strands of natural hair through the space in the hair extension body together with the multiple strands of natural hair; a body fixing member that passes both ends of the linear member and the multiple strands of natural hair through the space in the hair extension body and then removes only the linear member in the direction in which it was passed, and then fixes the hair extension body to the multiple strands of natural hair; and a stopper member that holds together the tips of both ends of the linear member and prevents the body fixing member from falling off during the wearing operation, thereby achieving the following effects.

[0013] That is, the tip of the hair extension body that is attached to the natural hair is woven to form a space, so that the linear member and the wearer's natural hair (to which the hair extension body is attached) can be passed together. Furthermore, the linear member and the wearer's natural hair (to which the hair extension body is attached) can be passed through the body fixing member (installed at the end). Then, after removing the linear member, the wearer's natural hair (to which the hair extension body is attached) can be crushed (squashed) together with the body fixing member, thereby fixing the hair extension body to the natural hair.

[0014] The hair extension wearing set according to claim 1 can be designed to achieve a natural look, since the hair extension body is attached (fixed) to the natural hair by the body fixing member as described above. That is, the size of the body fixing member needs to be larger than the diameter of the opening, and it is preferable to set the diameter to about 2 to 3 mm and the height (thickness) to about 1.5 to 2.0 mm, since the body fixing member cannot be recognized from the outside of the hair bundle of the hair extension body. In addition, the color of the body fixing member can be matched to the color of the hair extension body (human hair or synthetic resin hair), so it is possible to create a natural flow of hair while making it difficult to notice that a hair extension is being used.

[0015] In addition, according to the hair extension wearing set described in claim 2, the stopper member can prevent the main body fixing member from accidentally falling off during the hair extension main body wearing procedure, making the wearing operation more efficient.

[0016] Furthermore, in the hair extension wearing set described in claim 3, at least a portion of the main body fixing member is formed from synthetic resin, and can be easily crushed after inserting natural hair inside, making it extremely easy to fix (affix) the hair extension main body to natural hair.

[0017] In addition, the hair extension wearing set according to claim 4 has a hair extension body formed in a vein shape. In other words, the hair is not formed in one place, but the starting point of each hair is in a different position, so that it can be made to be close to the state of hair growing from the scalp. In addition, it is possible to distribute the hair (human hair or synthetic resin hair) evenly without biasing it around the opening of the hair extension body. Therefore, according to the hair extension wearing set according to claim 4, it is possible to make the state of the hair when wearing the hair extension body look more natural. In addition, the hair extension wearing set according to claim 4 can be easily manufactured in a short time. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 2] 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a method of attaching the hair extension attachment set. [Diagram 3]1 is an explanatory diagram showing the hair extension attachment set attached to a user U. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0019] <Hair extension attachment set composition> Hereinafter, one embodiment of a hair extension wearing set 1 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to Figs.

[0020] 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of a hair extension wearing set 1, and the hair extension wearing set 1 is characterized by the configuration (weaving method, etc.) of the tip side (the bundled part of the hair bundle) to be attached to natural hair. That is, the hair extension wearing set 1 includes a hair extension main body 4 in which a plurality of human hairs or synthetic resin hairs are bundled into a ring shape to form a space part 3 at the tip side, a linear member 5 formed by bending a linear material (a nylon thread with a diameter of about 0.3 mm, so-called fishing line) into a loop and inserting the bent part from the inside to the outside of the space part 3 of the hair extension main body 4, main body fixing members 6, 6 formed in a ring shape with a larger diameter than the space part 3 of the hair extension main body 4 (or longer than the length of the space part 3 deformed into a straight line) and formed by inserting the base part of the linear member 5 inside the tip of the hair extension main body 4, and a stopper member 7 for preventing the main body fixing members 6, 6 from falling off from the base part of the linear member 5.

[0021] The hair extension body 4 is a bundle (assembly) of human hair or synthetic resin hair used to make the wearer's hair look longer and more voluminous by attaching it to the wearer's natural hair, and the tip of the side to be attached to the natural hair is woven so as to form a space portion (an opening portion through which the natural hair is inserted) 3 (see FIG. 1(c)). That is, the hair extension body 4 is not a bundle of hair fixed in one place, but a circular string-like body S1 forming a space portion 3 as shown in FIG. 1(c), and three vein-like bodies L, L, etc., each of which is made of a plurality of human hair or synthetic resin hair protruding from a single string-like body S2 in a leaf vein-like shape (i.e., on the left and right sides of the string-like body S2, the base ends of a bundle of multiple hair strands are tied in alternate positions with a predetermined interval between them), which are connected radially (at approximately 120° intervals from the center) (see FIG. 1(d)).

[0022] The connecting member C consisting of the string-like body S1 and the string-like bodies S2, S2... is formed by integrally weaving threads made of synthetic resin (polyester). In addition, in the hair extension main body 4, a plurality of human hairs or synthetic resin hairs protrude from the circular string-like body S1. The string-like body S1 and the string-like bodies S2, S2... are dyed in a color similar to that of hair (human hair or synthetic resin hair).

[0023] The main body fixing member 6 has a cavity (through hole) formed in the center so that the wearer's multiple natural hairs 2 and the linear member 5 (both ends) can be passed through after they are passed through the space 3 of the hair extension body 4, and is in a so-called donut shape (ring shape). By making the color of the main body fixing member 6 the same color (or a color close to that) as the hair extension body 4, it is possible to create a natural look (as they are indistinguishable from each other in appearance).

[0024] A microring can also be used as the body fixing member 6. A microring is a small ring made of metal and synthetic resin, and functions as a member for attaching the hair extension body 4 to the natural hair 2. The microring is a small ring shape with an outer diameter of about 2mm to 3mm (the inner diameter of the hollow part is 1mm to 2mm), and has a double structure with a metal outer side and a soft silicone tube inner side (the soft silicone tube also has the effect of not damaging the wearer's hair). The double structure tube is used to fix the linear member 5 and a part (about 3 to 5 strands) of the natural hair 2 bundled by the linear member 5. Thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene can also be used as the body fixing member 6.

[0025] In the hair extension wearing set 1, the outer diameter of the body fixing member 6 is larger than the width (length) of the space 3 (of the hair extension body 4), and is designed so that the body fixing member 6 does not come out of the space 3 (of the hair extension body 4) during wearing (treatment), etc. In addition, in the hair extension wearing set 1 of this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1(b), two body fixing members 6 are installed, but the wearing strength can be adjusted to suit the wearer's preference by installing a single body fixing member 6 or installing three (or more) body fixing members 6.

[0026] Furthermore, the hair extension wearing set 1 is provided with a stopper member 7 for preventing the main body fixing member 6 from falling off (mainly during wearing (treatment)) while holding together the tips of both ends of the linear members 5. The stopper member 7 is a tubular body made of synthetic resin (polypropylene resin, etc.) and has an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of the main body fixing member 6. The stopper member 7 is fixed to the two base end portions of the linear members 5 by heating and fusing them in a state where the two base end portions of the linear members 5 are inserted through the insertion holes of the two main body fixing members 6, 6.

[0027] <How to wear the hair extension set> Figure 2 shows how to wear the hair extension wearing set 1, and Figure 3 shows the worn hair extension wearing set 1. When wearing the hair extension wearing set 1 on the scalp, first, select (separate) multiple strands of natural hair 2 from the area of ​​the scalp where you want to wear the hair extension wearing set 1, and place the selected hair inside the ring (loop-shaped bent portion) formed by the linear material of the linear member 5 (see Figure 2(a)).

[0028] Thereafter, while holding the hair extension body 4, the loop portion of the linear member 5 is pulled together with the multiple natural hairs 2 from the space 3 of the hair extension body 4 into the inside of the hair extension body 4 (see FIG. 2(b)). Furthermore, while holding the body fixing members 6,6, the loop portion of the linear member 5 is pulled further inward, thereby inserting the multiple natural hairs 2 through the body fixing members 6,6. The stopper member 7 provided at the base end of the linear member 5 also functions as a "pinch" when pulling the natural hairs 2 into the hair extension body 4 and the body fixing members 6,6 as described above.

[0029] After that, the hair extension body 4 is aligned with the natural hair 2 by moving the main body fixing members 6,6 up and down, and then the main body fixing members 6,6 are crushed (squashed) with a dedicated tool such as pliers to fix (fix) the hair extension body 4 to the wearer's natural hair 2. Through the above-mentioned series of operations, the crushed main body fixing members 6,6 allow the hair extension body 4 to be attached to the wearer's natural hair 2. That is, the rings of the main body fixing members 6,6 crush and pinch the natural hairs 2 that are passed through the rings of the main body fixing members 6,6, allowing the hair extension body 4 to be attached (fixed) to the natural hair 2. After attachment, the hair extension body 4 can be maintained attached for several months unless the main body fixing members 6,6 are removed. The hair extension attachment set 1 can also achieve a natural look in the hairstyling (see FIG. 3). In addition, the hair extension body 4 and the linear members 5 can be easily removed and reused.

[0030] <Effects of hair extension set> As described above, the hair extension wearing set 1 comprises the hair extension body 4, which is a bundle of multiple human hairs or synthetic resin hairs bundled into a ring shape to form a space 3 at the tip side, the linear member 5, which is formed by bending a linear material into a loop shape and inserting the bent portion from the inside to the outside of the space 3 of the hair extension body 4, the body fixing members 6, 6, which are formed into a ring shape with a larger diameter than the space 3 of the hair extension body 4 and are formed by inserting a base end portion of the linear member 5 inside the tip of the hair extension body 4, and the stopper member 7 for preventing the body fixing members 6, 6 from falling off from the base end portion of the linear member 5. Therefore, with the hair extension wearing set 1, the hair extension body 4 can be attached to the natural hair 2 very easily by simply pulling the linear member 5 into the hair extension body 4 with multiple natural hairs 2 inserted into the loop-shaped portion of the linear member 5 and crushing the body fixing members 6, 6.

[0031] The hair extension wearing set 1 is designed to achieve a natural look. That is, in order to create a natural flow, the hair extension body 4 is devised to have a vein-like shape, and the body fixing member 6 is made small and used to match the color of the natural hair, thereby making it possible to achieve a natural look. The hair extension body 4 can also be devised to use special dyes to achieve a natural color. Furthermore, the hair extension wearing set 1 uses a deformable micro ring as the body fixing member 6, and the hair extension body 4 can be attached to the natural hair 2 without using adhesives or heat, so that the natural hair 2 is not damaged.

[0032] Furthermore, the hair extension wearing set 1 has a hair extension body 4 formed in a leaf vein shape, and the hair is not gathered in one place, but rather the starting points of the hair are each in a different position, creating a state close to the state of hair growing from the scalp, making the hair look more natural when worn.

[0033] <Example of changing hair extension attachment set> The hair extension wearing set of the present invention is not limited to the aspects of the above-mentioned embodiments, and the material, shape, structure, size, etc. of the hair extension main body (space portion, connecting member, hair), linear member, main body fixing member, stopper member, etc. can be appropriately changed as needed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0034] For example, the hair extension wearing set is not limited to the above embodiment in which a micro ring made of metal and synthetic resin is used as the main body fixing member, but may be changed to a donut-shaped body or a spherical body (a spherical body with a through hole) made only of synthetic resin such as polyethylene. When such a configuration is adopted, it becomes possible to manufacture the hair extension wearing set more inexpensively.

[0035] In addition, the hair extension wearing set is not limited to the above embodiment in which a stopper member is fixed to the base end of a linear member, but can be changed to a linear member having two base ends inserted into a main body fixing member tied together (tied together to form a mass with a larger diameter than the through hole of the main body fixing member), etc. In the case where the two base ends of the linear members are tied together in this way, the hair extension wearing set can be manufactured more inexpensively. [Industrial Applicability]

[0036] Since the hair extension wearing set of the present invention has the excellent effects as described above, it can be suitably used as a device or tool for easily wearing hair extensions to make natural hair look longer or to add volume to natural hair. [Explanation of symbols]
