A hair weft for increasing the apparent length and/or bulk of a user's hair includes an elongate arcuate thin flexible substrate which carries stands of hair or hair-like filaments over substantially its entire surface area. The substrate is free of apertures or holes, so that within its perimeter the entire surface area of the substrate carries hair strands. And, because of the large number of hair strands carried by the hair weft, only a single application of one hair weft will be satisfactory to achieve the desired effect in most cases. The weft is applied adhesively to underlying human hair, and conceals the adhesive while adding substantial bulk and/or length to the hair for the wearer. The substrate of the hair weft serves as an adhesive carrier during application of the hair weft to a wearers head, so that a relatively unskilled user can achieve an attractive result, even at home without the skills of a stylist of cosmetician. Further, the substrate appears substantially like the human scalp so that the hair weft is not easily detected.

A headgear lasing system, including: a power supply; a laser device coupled in power receiving relationship to the power supply, and configured for generating laser radiation effective to promote growth of head hair; a multiplicity of optical fibers coupled with the laser device to receive the laser radiation for transmission thereof through the optical fibers to respective end portions thereof; and a support that is configured to overlie a head region, and to which the end portions of the optical fibers are secured so that the laser radiation transmitted through the optical fibers is directed therefrom to the head region. The support may be a separate structural component that is secured to an existing headgear article, or the support may be a constituent part of a headgear article, such as a crown portion of a cap or hat article. The headgear lasing system is usefully employed to impinge lasing radiation on a scalp region of a wearer, to mediate hair growth on such scalp region. Also disclosed are headgear lasing systems that additionally comprise scalp massaging capability, for contemporaneous treatment of the scalp region with lasing radiation and massage.

A braid removal tool has a comb, a strap, and a plurality of prongs. The strap is used to fasten the comb to a user's thumb. To remove a section of braids, a user first engages prongs with braids by grasping a section of unbraided hair between an index finger and the comb. Once the prongs are engaged with braids, use a downward motion and comb braids toward a hair end. Repeat this procedure until braids are completely removed. The tool may be worn on the thumb of a second hand to assist the second hand in grasping the braids to prevent excessive pulling on a scalp during combing.
