Abstract

Hair weft with buttons, which is consisted of hair pieces (1 ) connected with three similar cut sections of specific fabric (pads) (2), on these pads button bases are placed (3) on the front side and clips (4) on the reverse side, helping the construction to become one with the head or wig. The similar cut sections of specific fabric (pads) are placed at the ends and the center of the manufacturing, while the bases of buttons on the pads are for the edge pads at the edges, while for the central one in the middle almost to touch each other. The advantage of this weft is that it can be adjusted to the half of its original size in width by removing hair pieces, while is adjusted in color by adding different color hair piece or pieces. The Hair Weft with buttons can be used individually or in making wigs.

Description

Hair weft with buttons
The invention is related to hair weft with clips. The construction consists of equally hair pieces, which can be from one up to as much as someone wishes.
Equally hair pieces are connected with similar cut sections of special fabric (pads).
Depending on the part of the head that need coverage, the fabric sections are placed in such a way that two of them are located at the edges of the construction and the third right in the middle.
On the fabric sections (pads), metal or plastic button bases are placed as follows, on the edge pads, button bases are placed at the edges, in order to keep the construction stable, while on the central one in the middle almost to touch each other, so the construction can be divided in the half of its original size to its width.
The bases of buttons are placed in rows and are as many as the hair pieces are.
At the reverse side (to the head) of fabric sections are placed the clips helping the construction to become one with the head or wig. Finally, buckles for the button bases, which are on the pads, are placed on the hair pieces, at appropriate distances.
One end of the first hair piece snaps on the button bases, which are located on the left pad and the other end on the first vertical column of central pad button bases.
The second hair piece snaps, respectively, from the second vertical column of central pad button bases up to the right pad.
Depending on the desired length and volume, more hair pieces are placed as previously, while the construction is adjusted to the half of the original width.
Depending on the desired color, different colored pieces are placed in some areas.
Hair weft with buttons is used in treatment purposes, offering to patients suffering from alopecia (absence or thinning of hair by falling), the opportunity to cover the problem, and in aesthetics as well, offering richer, longer and more beautiful hair.
Hair weft with buttons is also used in wig manufacturing. In a wig, which is consisted of rubber pads with button bases, where the hair pieces buckle.
Hair wefts with clips are widely known in the market, however, the existing products have main disadvantages. They are available only in standard size (length and volume) and cannot be, directly, adjusted by the user depending on the needs and mood.
The same situation there is also with the color, there is not the opportunity of immediate color change (lighter, darker etc).
Additionally, in a case of damage even small, long standing reconstruction or replacement is needed.
The new hair weft with buttons can be adjusted immediately to the hair length and volume, just by adding or removing hair pieces. Similarly, color changes are allowed (lighter or darker).
Finally, the construction offers flexibility in repairing damaged parts, since the process is simple replacement of the damaged part and not total replacement or reconstruction.
The construction of hair weft with buttons can be easily perceptible by the attached plans.
Figure 1 shows three fabric sections (pads) (2), where button bases have been placed (3).
At the reverse side (A) of each pad there is a clip (4), as presented on figure 2, so that the construction can be placed at the head or wig.
Figure 1 , also, presents a clip (4) two hair pieces (1 ), where buckles for the pads button bases are placed (5) at appropriate distances and snaps as follows. The first one, on the left, snaps on the left pad button bases and on the first column button bases of the central pad. Similarly, the second one snaps on the second column button bases of the central pad and on the right pad button bases.
Figure 3 presents an example of six hair pieces, three on the one side and three on the other side.
By this way a single construction is created as presented on figure 4 (back side) and on figure 5 (front side). Finally, figure 6 presents how the construction can be adjusted to the width in the half of its original size, by removing hair piece or pieces from one side.
