Definitions

  • the present invention relates to hair extensions of the type used in particular for thickening hair, substantially shaped like a sheet or weft, known under the term of weft hair extension or hair weft, and a related application method.
  • a lock of hair is meant constituted by a plurality of human or artificial hairs, the lock apt to be handled as a single lengthening unit and to be applied on receiving hair thanks to a connecting element.
  • the hair weft By referring instead to the hair weft, it has a linear connecting element therefrom natural or artificial hairs depart perpendicularly, arranged in a planar configuration with a uniform distribution.
  • Another aspect contributing to increase in liking this type of treatments is the speed in carrying out them.
  • the known systems then provide a step wherein hair extensions are connected to the user hair.
  • the hair extensions substantially can be sewn, tied or knotted to the user hair.
  • Means for implementing the connection between hair extension and hair is further known, providing the use of outer elements such as fasteners, combs, tweezers and the like. With these elements, hair extensions of large sizes can be associated to the receiving hair of the user.
  • US patent No. 6,135,122 (Campbell et al. ) describes a hair weft with a single layer, wherein hair is kept in its position by an interwoven tape provided with an adhesive layer; other extensions of this type are known from US patent applications No. 2001/0035192 (Townsend); No. 2006/0169296 (Gill et al. ); No. 2009/0032041 (Ott); No. 2009/0120451 (Kenna); and No. 2013/0298925 (Gold); and from International patent application No. WO 2011/036654 (Gold).
  • the technical problem underlying the present invention is to provide a weft hair extension to thicken hair and a related manufacturing method allowing to obviate the drawbacks mentioned with reference to the known art.
  • hair extensions as specified above, comprising:
  • the main advantage of the weft hair extension according to the present invention lies in allowing a quick application by using said peduncles as anchoring means of the extension to the host hair, and the respective openings as guide for supporting locks of host hair, which can be selected and inserted in the respective opening in a single solution with suitable instruments.
  • the method for applying the extensions according to the present invention comprises the steps of:
  • figure 1 illustrates a method for manufacturing a weft hair extension, designated as a whole with 10. It has a flat sheet 1 of straight hair which is disposed on a plane, for example made of steel.
  • Single hairs are arranged in regular way, parallel to each other therebetween, with the respective proximal ends, that is the cut ones near the scalp, arranged to form an almost straight line. Hairs are selected so that they have substantially the same length, and in case the respective distal ends will be evened with a rectilinear cut.
  • the single hairs can be of any type, preferably they are natural. They form a sheet with almost uniform thickness, in the order of tenths of millimetre.
  • a first strip 3 made of thermoplastic material is arranged, which is temporarily softened by applying a predetermined temperature, for example 200°, or in case ultrasounds. This softening allows the penetration of the hairs in the strip, by applying a certain pressure.
  • the strip 3 is made of a resin or thermoplastic rubber, possibly a foldable material, soft to the touch.
  • the strip 3 is arranged perpendicularly to the single hairs of the sheet 1.
  • the strip 3 is pressed by a heated press 4 which softens the strip 3 by causing the penetration of the distal ends of the single hairs of the sheet 1 in the strip thickness, penetration which takes place at a first face of said strip.
  • the thickness of the thermoplastic strip could be about 1 mm or even less.
  • a subsequent step one provides to the trimming of the exposed margin of the connecting element 3 by means of a suitable (not represented) blade.
  • the side ends of the connecting element 3 can be trimmed, so that the single hairs of the sheet 1 end exactly at such ends.
  • the extension 10 comprises a second strip 5 made of thermoplastic material which is arranged at a certain distance from said first strip 3, substantially parallel thereto, so that a linear space 20 is formed therebetween, with constant width.
  • the width is so as to allow the passage between the strips 3, 5 of receiving locks, called supporting receiving locks, which will be used to connect the extension.
  • the second strip 5 constitutes a second linear connecting element 5 of the weft hair extension 10.
  • the extension 10 further comprises a plurality of tongue-like flexible elements 6, in the shape of small rectangular tongues, with width so as to be able to extend transversally to said linear space 20 from the first to the second linear connecting element 3, 5, by covering at least partially the height of both of them.
  • the tongue-like elements 6 are then arranged like a bridge between said thermoplastic strips 3, 5, each one arranged at the same distance from the adjacent tongue-like elements. They are arranged at regular intervals, so as to form openings 21 at the free space 20.
  • the tongue-like elements 6 are made of light and porous material, with reduced thickness, so that they, or portions thereof, can be embedded under pressure into the strips of thermoplastic material 3, 5.
  • the material thereof they can be formed could be gauze or organza, in particular then a tissue formed by a plain weave, for example made of cotton or other natural textile fibre, nylon, polyester and so on. It is to be meant that the selected material should be flexible.
  • the tongue-like elements 6 they are arranged as previously described. It is to be noted that, in this step, the sheet 1 and the respective linear connecting element 3 have been turned, so as to expose the strip face 3 opposite to that therethrough the single hairs of the sheet 1 have been previously penetrated.
  • the tongue-like elements are penetrated in the respective thicknesses of the two strips 3, 5 made of thermoplastic material by means of hot pressing, for example by means of the previously mentioned press 4 ( figure 2 ), in a way similar to what described previously for the distal end 2 of the sheet 1.
  • the tongue-like elements 6 constitute flexible connecting means between the strips 3, 5 which are then articulated therebetween, with the possibility of folding second strip 5 onto the first one and vice versa.
  • the second strip 5, that is the second linear connecting element 5 has an inner edge faced towards the free space 20 and an outer edge opposite to the previous one. It comprises a plurality of peduncles 7, obtained and formed by the strip 5 in one single piece, each one occupying a position which corresponds to a respective opening 21; the peduncles 7 extend perpendicularly to the second connecting element 5 from the outer edge thereof, in direction opposite to that of the sheet of hairs.
  • the peduncles 7 too are spaced apart at regular intervals like the openings 21. They have at the sides thereof a pair of notches 8: the notches 8 of adjacent peduncles separate a portion 9 of linear strip 5 receiving said tongue-like elements 6.
  • an application area is selected with a brush, by separating said hair so as to isolate a horizontal line 31 of scalp, according to a technique common to the application of any weft hair extension ( figure 4 ).
  • the operator separates a plurality of supporting receiving locks 32 by isolating them from said hair 30, so that said receiving locks 32 are regularly spaced apart from one another, with a range corresponding to the one provided for the openings 21.
  • the operator can use for example an instrument provided with rings suitably spaced apart in a fixed position, by making a selected lock 32 to pass into each ring so as to have more or less the same quantity of hair of the other ones.
  • the selection can take place with an hook-like instrument therewith it is also possible inserting in said lock a small ring 33 which can be irreversibly deformed, for example made of a pliable metal.
  • the function of the small ring 33 will be cleared hereinafter.
  • the rings of the used instrument advantageously can be flexible loops, therewith it is possible to extend and pull the locks 32 through the openings 21, having been careful in selecting the locks 32 after having inserted each flexible loop in a respective opening 21 of the extension 10 ( figure 6 ).
  • This procedure is carried out by arranging the weft hair extension 10 so that the linear space 21 corresponds to said line 31, with the peduncles 7 faced downwards and the flat sheet 1 of hair faced upwards ( figure 5 ).
  • the small ring 33 is deformed permanently, that is squeezed with tweezers, to implement a clamping between lock 32 and peduncle 7, thus by fastening each supporting host lock 32 to the corresponding peduncle 7 and then by connecting the extension 10 to receiving hair.
  • the two strips of suitable material have the capability of keeping a fixed position once arranged between two locks of host hair covering them completely, by implementing a stable connection, poorly perceptible to the touch or by shaking the head, as they adhere to the host locks by adapting to the shape and motions thereof.
