Description

  The present invention relates to a hair extension and a method for mounting a hair extension.

  Recently, hair extensions that appear to increase the volume of the hair and are attached to the hair as part of fashion are being used. Unlike wigs, hair extensions are attached to the user's own hair. Conventionally, for example, Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2 are disclosed as methods for attaching the hair extension to the own hair. Patent Document 1 discloses a method for braiding hair. Patent Document 2 discloses an assembly in which a connecting element including a thermoplastic material provided at the proximal end of a hair extension is disposed on an adhesive tape.

  However, the method of knitting hair as in the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1 requires the skill of a beautician to actually attach to the own hair, May take a long time. In addition, the assembly disclosed in Patent Document 2 can shorten the hair extension wearing time. However, since the hair extension is arranged on the adhesive tape, the hair constituting the hair extension falls off from the adhesive tape. There is a risk. That is, since the assembly disclosed in Patent Document 2 uses the connecting element and the adhesive tape as separate members, even if the thermoplastic material is melted, the two are not completely integrated. For this reason, there is a possibility that the hair constituting the hair extension may fall off or the hair extension may fall off from the own hair. In particular, when the hair is washed with the hair extension attached, there is a problem that the adhesiveness of the adhesive tape deteriorates due to moisture, and the risk of the hair extension falling off and the hair constituting the hair extension falling off increases.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to easily attach to the own hair in a short time, and to suppress the hair falling out of the hair extension and the hair extension from coming off from the own hair as much as possible.

  A hair extension for solving the above-mentioned problems has a hair part in which a plurality of hairs are gathered, and has flexibility, and one end part of the hair part is implanted and attached to the user's own hair. A mounting base portion and a heat-meltable adhesive layer provided on the surface of the mounting base portion are provided. Since such a hair extension can be attached to the own hair without being knitted, the attaching operation can be easily completed in a short time. Moreover, since the one end part of the hair part is planted by the mounting | wearing base part, each hair is integrated with a mounting | wearing base part and it is hard to drop | omit from a mounting | wearing base part. Furthermore, since it is attached to the own hair by a hot-melt adhesive, the hair extension can be firmly attached to the own hair.

  The mounting base portion in the hair extension as described above can be configured from artificial skin. By using artificial skin, one end of the hair can be implanted.

  Further, the hair portion includes a sewing portion that is sewn in a state where the plurality of hairs are gathered at one end portion, and the one end portion of the hair portion is embedded in the mounting base portion so that the sewing portion is buried in the mounting base portion. It can be set as the structure implanted by the part. By providing the sewing portion, the hair is firmly integrated. By planting one end portion of the hair portion provided with such a sewing portion on the mounting base portion, it is possible to enhance the effect of preventing the hair constituting the hair extension from falling off. As a result, when the sewing portion is provided, it is possible to effectively prevent the hair from falling off as compared to a state where each hair is planted on the mounting base portion in an independent state.

  It is desirable that the mounting base portion in such a hair extension has a melting temperature higher than at least the melting temperature of the adhesive layer. In order to attach the hair extension to the own hair, the adhesive layer is melted. At this time, it is desirable that the attachment base portion is not excessively affected by heat. For example, it is inconvenient that the mounting base portion is excessively softened by the influence of heat, and the hair portion planted on the mounting base portion is easily removed. In order to avoid such inconvenience, it is desirable that the melting temperature of the mounting base portion is higher than the melting temperature of the adhesive layer. However, it is desirable that a moderate softening of the mounting base portion is allowed so that the mounting base portion is easily deformed when the hair extension is mounted on the own hair.

  Such a mounting base is usually heated by a scissors. Therefore, it is desirable that the melting temperature of the wearing base portion is determined in consideration of the temperature of the eyelid generally used in a beauty salon or home. That is, the temperature is selected so as not to cause a problem that the hair drops off from the wearing base portion by being heated by the wrinkles. Here, it is desirable that the mounting base portion has a melting temperature higher than at least 180 ° C. in consideration of a general soot temperature of about 180 ° C. In this case, the adhesive layer is preferably selected from a material having a melting temperature lower than 180 ° C. Further, the melting temperature of the mounting base portion can be defined based on the melting temperature of the adhesive layer to be used. When the melting temperature of the adhesive forming the adhesive layer is 160 ° C., the mounting base portion has a melting temperature higher than at least 160 ° C. In this case, the operating temperature of the bag is set to 160 ° C. or higher and lower than the melting temperature of the mounting base portion. The operating temperature is set to 160 ° C. or more in order to melt the adhesive layer, and the reason why the operating temperature is set lower than the melting temperature of the mounting base portion is to prevent the mounting base portion from being excessively softened.

  The hair extension mounting method disclosed in the present specification has a hair part in which a plurality of hairs are gathered, and has flexibility, and one end part of the hair part is implanted and attached to the user's own hair. Preparing a hair extension comprising a mounting base portion and a heat-meltable adhesive layer provided on a surface of the mounting base portion, and mounting the user's own hair with the adhesive layer The base part is bent, and the mounting base part sandwiched with the own hair is sandwiched from outside with a scissors so as to hold the own hair and heated, and the folded mounting base is bonded together by the melted adhesive layer. It is characterized by that. Thereby, a hair extension can be easily attached to the own hair in a short time. Since it is only necessary to heat the folded mounting base portion with a scissors, no skill is required for mounting the hair extension. In addition, the mounting operation can be completed in a short time.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to easily attach a hair extension to the own hair in a short time, and to prevent the hair constituting the hair extension from falling off and the hair extension from coming off from the own hair as much as possible.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, in the drawings, the dimensions, ratios, and the like of each part may not be shown so as to completely match the actual ones. Further, details may be omitted depending on the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a plan view of the hair extension 1 of the embodiment. FIG. 2 is an enlarged plan view showing the periphery of the mounting base portion 3 of the hair extension 1. FIG. 3 is an enlarged front view showing the periphery of the mounting base portion 3 of the hair extension 1. The end surface side of the mounting base portion 3 is the front side. FIG. 4 is an enlarged side view showing the periphery of the mounting base portion 3 of the hair extension 1.

  The hair extension 1 includes a hair portion 2 in which a plurality of hairs are collected. More specifically, a plurality of hair bundles 2a in which a plurality of hairs are bundled are provided. Here, the hair may be artificial hair or natural hair. This hair part 2 has two sewing parts, that is, a first sewing part 5 and a second sewing part 6, which are sewn in a state where a plurality of hairs, more specifically, a hair bundle 2 a, are gathered at one end part 2 b. It has. The first sewing portion 5 is located at the end of the hair portion 2, and the second sewing portion 6 is located on the other end side from the first sewing portion 5. The 1st sewing part 5 and the 2nd sewing part 6 are formed by sewing up using a sewing machine. The hair portion 2 is in a state in which a plurality of hairs are integrated when the sewing portion is formed.

  The hair extension 1 includes a mounting base portion 3 to be mounted on the user's own hair 7 as will be described in detail later. The mounting base portion 3 is formed in a sheet shape and has flexibility, and one end portion 2b of the hair portion 2 is implanted. Specifically, one end portion 2 b of the hair portion 2 is implanted in the mounting base portion 3 so that the first sewing portion 5 and the second sewing portion 6 are buried in the mounting base portion 3.

  Such a mounting base portion 3 is made of flexible artificial skin. By using artificial skin, one end 2b of the hair part 2 can be implanted in the mounting base part 3. Here, a well-known technique for flocking artificial skin can be used. In the present embodiment, the one end portion 2b of the hair portion 2 is dipped in a liquid material that becomes artificial skin by drying until the second sewing portion 6 is immersed. Thereafter, the end portion 2b of the hair portion 2 is implanted in the mounting base portion 3 by lifting and drying the liquid material. In place of this method, a liquid material that becomes artificial skin by drying can be applied to the one end 2b of the hair part 2 to be in an implanted state. As such artificial skin, one having a melting temperature higher than 185 ° C. is selected. As a result, the mounting base 3 has a melting temperature higher than 185 ° C. This is selected in consideration of the use temperature of the ridge 9 described later and the melting temperature of the adhesive layer 4.

  The hair extension 1 includes an adhesive layer 4 on the surface of the mounting base portion 3. The adhesive layer 4 is formed by applying a hot-melt adhesive on one surface of the mounting base portion 3. As the adhesive, a conventionally known heat-meltable adhesive can be used. For example, a glue gun or a hot melt adhesive can be used.

  Here, the relationship between the melting temperature of the mounting base portion 3 and the melting temperature of the adhesive layer 4 will be described. The mounting base portion 3 has a melting temperature higher than 185 ° C. as described above. On the other hand, the adhesive layer 4 has a melting temperature lower than 185 ° C. In other words, the mounting base portion 3 has a melting temperature higher than the melting temperature of the adhesive layer 4. Specifically, the melting temperature of the adhesive layer 4 of this example is 160 ° C. The melting temperature of the mounting base portion 3 is selected to be 185 ° C. so as to be higher than at least 160 ° C. which is the melting temperature of the adhesive layer 4. If it is 185 degreeC, it will be higher than the use temperature (about 180 degreeC) of the generally used soot. Since the mounting base portion 3 and the adhesive layer 4 have such a melting temperature relationship, when the mounting base portion 3 is heated, only the adhesive layer 4 is melted and bonded. An effect can be obtained.

  Next, a method for attaching such a hair extension 1 to the user's own hair 7 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a process diagram showing a method of attaching the hair extension 1.

  First, in the step shown in FIG. 5A, the hair extension 1 described above is prepared.

  5B, the operator bends the mounting base portion 3 in the direction of the arrow 8 in the figure so as to sandwich the user's own hair 7 with the adhesive layer 4. Since the mounting base part 3 has flexibility, it can be bent easily. Thereby, it will be in the state where adhesive bond layers 4 oppose.

  Next, in the step shown in FIG. 5C, the mounting base portion 3 sandwiching the own hair 7 is sandwiched and heated from the outside with the scissors 9 so as to hold the own hair 7. Here, the operating temperature of the ridge 9 is between 160 ° C., which is the melting temperature of the adhesive layer 4, and the melting temperature of the mounting base portion 3. The heat-meltable adhesive layer 4 is melted by heating with the scissors 9, and the bent mounting base portion 3 is bonded. In addition, the mounting base part 3 is also softened moderately by this heating operation. When the mounting base portion 3 is attached, the flange 9 is removed in the step shown in FIG.

  Next, in the step shown in FIG. 5E, a pressing operation using the pressing device 10 is performed. The pressing device 10 is a device in which smooth pressing surfaces 10a are arranged to face each other. The pressing surface 10a is disposed on both sides of the mounting base portion 3 to which the pressing surface 10a is bonded, and the mounting base portion 3 is pressed. This pressing operation is performed in a state where the adhesive layer 4 is melted and the mounting base portion 3 is softened. By performing the pressing operation in a state where the adhesive layer 4 is melted, the hair extension 1 can be more firmly attached to the own hair 7. Further, when the pressing operation is performed while the mounting base portion 3 is softened, the attached mounting base portion 3 is compressed and thinned.

  After the pressing operation by the pressing device 10 is completed, in the step shown in FIG. 5F, if the melted adhesive layer 4 and the softened mounting base portion 3 are cooled and solidified, the hair extension 1 as shown in FIG. Is firmly attached to the own hair 7. The thickness t of the mounting base portion 3 that has undergone the pressing operation shown in FIG. 5F is about 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm.

  Thus, the mounting of the hair extension 1 to the own hair 7 is very easy and is completed in a short time.

  In the hair extension 1 described above, one end portion 2b of the hair portion 2 is embedded in the mounting base portion 3 made of artificial skin, and further includes the first sewing portion 5 and the second sewing portion 6. It is hard to come off. Moreover, since the 1st sewing part 5 and the 2nd sewing part 6 are embed | buried under the mounting | wearing base part 3, and are in the state coated, the thread is not frayed. Furthermore, since the artificial skin is used, the user wearing the hair extension has little discomfort. The artificial skin has flexibility, and the wearing base portion 3 in a worn state is very thin, which contributes to improving the wearing feeling. In addition, since the heat extension adhesive layer 4 is melted when the hair extension 1 is attached to the own hair 7, a strong attachment can be realized, and the adhesive layer 4 only needs to be heated when removed. Convenient.

  The embodiment described above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. In the above embodiment, artificial skin is used as the material for the mounting base, but other materials capable of implanting hair can also be used.
