In the following description, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be explained with reference to the drawings. In order to make the description clearer, some practical details will be explained in the following description. However, it should be noted that these practical details are only to assist in the description of this disclosure and are not intended to limit the content of this disclosure. In other words, in the following implementations of the present disclosure, some practical details may be optional but not necessary. In addition, in order not to make the drawings too complicated, some conventional or customary basic structures or basic elements will be shown in the drawings in a simple schematic manner.

Please refer to Figure 1 first. Figure 1 is a black and white photograph showing the hair extension structure 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention. The hair extension structure 100 has a first end 102 and a second end 104. When a user wants to connect the hair extension structure 100 to his or her own hair, the first end 102 is the connection end with the user's hair, and the second end 104 becomes the end (i.e., the tail) after the hair extension.

The hair extension structure 100 includes a connecting portion 110 and a plurality of hair bundles 120 . The connecting portion 110 is disposed close to the first end 102 and is a specific structure where the hair extension structure 100 is fixedly connected to the user's hair. The hair bundle 120 is a specific structure that allows the user to present a long hair style after hair extensions.

In Figure 1, the hair extension structure 100 is arranged into a curly shape, which is not intended to limit the present invention. The hair bundle 120 has elasticity and softness, and can be further arranged to make the entire hair extension structure into other shapes/states.

Please refer to Figure 2A, Figure 2B and Figure 2C. Figure 2A is a schematic front view of the hair extension structure 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention; Figure 2B is a top-view black and white photograph of the hair extension structure 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention; Figure 2C is a schematic diagram of the hair extension structure 100 from above according to some embodiments of the present invention. An enlarged black and white photo of the hair extension structure 100 from above is shown in some embodiments of the present invention.

The connecting part 110 may be formed by winding one or more cotton threads through a plurality of hair strands 124, and the connecting part 110 has a channel 112 running therethrough. The connection part may be a closed ring structure. Here, the "closed ring" means that when a long object or hair passes through the channel 112 of the connecting part 110, the long object or hair will not be displaced in the lateral direction or in the radial direction. , detached from the connecting portion 110 . In addition, the hair 124 will completely cover the surface of the closed ring structure. That is, the one or more cotton threads serving as the base carrier will be completely obscured by the hair strands 124 . In the diagrams shown in Figures 2A, 2B and 2C, the hair strands 124 completely cover one or more cotton threads as the base carrier. Since the hair strands 124 can completely cover the cotton threads, the hair extensions can provide the user with a natural luster appearance (the hair strands 124 have a more natural luster than cotton threads), thereby enhancing the naturalness of the hairstyle.

In some embodiments, in order to enable the hair 124 to completely cover the cotton thread, the hair 124 can be wrapped around the cotton thread in multiple layers. By winding on cotton threads in multiple layers, the resulting closed loop structure can be compressed and elastic. This compressive elasticity can be achieved by the gaps between the hair strands 124 . For compression elasticity, after the user has hair extensions, it can provide the hair with a fluffy and airy feel without making the hairstyle structure too rigid, thereby enhancing the naturalness of the hairstyle.

The plurality of hair bundles 120 can extend outward from the connecting portion 110 , wherein the hair bundles 120 can be formed by a plurality of hair strands 124 extending from the connecting portion 110 . The hair bundles 120 each have a node structure 122 at the connection point to the connecting portion 110 (ie, the outer edge of the closed annular structure of the connecting portion 110). The node structure 122 is used to fix the hair 124, that is, it can prevent the hair 124 from slipping or loosening.

Since the hair extension structure 100 includes a plurality of hair bundles 120, there are a plurality of node structures 122 on the outer edge of the closed annular structure of the connecting portion 110. In addition to the aforementioned functions, these node structures 122 can also fix the position of the corresponding hair bundles 120 so that the relative positions of the multiple hair bundles 120 in the tangential direction of the closed annular structure are fixed. Here, the "relative position in the tangential direction is fixed" means that when the node structure 122 is fixed firmly enough, it can avoid multiple hair bundles 120 along the outer edge of the closed annular structure of the connecting portion 110 Move, that is, avoid them from getting closer to each other or moving away from each other. If they can be close to each other or far away from each other, long-term use may cause the hair bundles to gradually loosen, resulting in a loose structure.

Please refer to Figure 3A and Figure 3B, which are respectively schematic three-dimensional views of the hair extension structure 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention. Figure 3A shows a schematic diagram showing the appearance of a single hair bundle 120, and other hair bundles are omitted. Figure 3B is a schematic diagram showing the appearance of the remaining structure of a single hair bundle 120 after omitting its outer hair strands 124.

The ends 130 of the aforementioned one or more cotton threads can extend into the corresponding hair bundle 120 and be at least partially covered by the hair strands 124 of the hair bundle 120 . In some embodiments, the end 130 of the cotton thread is the only exposed part of the cotton thread, and the remaining parts of the cotton thread are completely covered by the hair strands 124 of the hair bundle 120 . For example, the cotton thread may have an extension section, which is connected to the end 130 and is covered by the hair knot structure 126 formed by the hair strands 124. That is, the extension section will also be covered by the hair strands 124 of the hair bundle 120, so that the hair strands 124 are covered by the hair knot structure 126. The wire 124 will completely cover the surface of the extension. The specific location of the extension section is the inside of the hair knot structure 126 in Figure 3B, which is shielded/covered by the hair knot structure 126.

Since the hair bundle 120 can wrap cotton threads in it, the volume of the front end of the single hair bundle 120 can be increased, so that the hair bundle 120 can radiate outward from its node structure 122 at the connection point with the connecting portion 110 shape. The outward radiating morphology can be seen specifically in Figure 2A, Figure 2B and Figure 2C, with arrows indicating outward radiating respectively. On the contrary, if there is no cotton thread wrapped in the hair bundle, the appearance will not be radiating outward. This outward radiating shape can increase the volume of the overall hairstyle, for example, it can support other hair structures (including other hair extension structures or the user's own hair), thereby enhancing the naturalness of the hairstyle.

In addition, in the hair extension structure of the present disclosure, the entire hair extension structure is composed of hair and cotton threads that are wound and knotted, and there is no need to use any fixing glue or fixing sheets. Such a structure can make the user feel more comfortable and reduce the foreign body sensation.

During use, the user can pass a bundle of hair through the channel 112 of the connecting portion 110 and fix the passed hair to the hair extension structure 100 . The fixing method may be to use beads to string on the user's natural hair and block the channel 112 of the connecting part 110 so that the hair extension structure 100 will not fall off from the natural hair. During the process of combining the hair extension structure 100 with the user's real hair, an auxiliary device can be used, such as a needle threading method. The auxiliary device is first passed through the channel 112 of the connecting part 110 to assist in inserting the user's real hair through the connecting part 110 . Channel 112. In terms of connection, the hair extension structure 100 covers the user's real hair with its connecting portion 110 to achieve a connection and fixation effect, so the hair extension structure 100 of the present disclosure is a covering type hair extension structure.

Compared with other styles, the covered hair extension structure has the advantages of being breathable and hiding joints, and its appearance can be naturally fluffy, so it can create the appearance of being born from the user's hair follicles. Also because the covered hair extension structure disclosed in this disclosure can achieve a natural and fluffy appearance, and compared with feather hair extensions, in addition to achieving length growth, it can also further achieve hair root expansion, thereby presenting a three-dimensional sense of hairstyle. .

In practice, the number of hair strands 204 will be so that it can be produced in the production process. Finally, the cotton thread 202 can be completely covered.

The method of making a hair extension structure may include the following steps. First, the hair strands 204 can be tied and fixed on the cotton thread 202 first, and the steps of wrapping the hair strands 204 on the cotton thread 202 can be repeated, so that multiple hair strands 204 are fixedly connected to the cotton thread 202 in a dispersed manner. Then, the hair strands 204 can be moved on the cotton thread 202 as shown in the direction of the arrow, so that the hair strands 204 can abut against each other to form hair bundles.

After that, the tool 206 is used to cut the cotton thread 202. After cutting, arrange/comb the cotton thread 202 and hair strands 204 as mentioned above so that the end of the cotton thread 202 is covered by the hair strands 204 of the hair bundle. In this state, only the end of the cotton thread 202 with the hair strands 204 will be The hair 204 is exposed, and the surface is partially covered by the hair 204 . Then, the cotton thread 202 with the hair 204 is curled and knotted to form the closed ring structure mentioned above; wherein, at the outer edge of the closed ring structure, multiple hair 204 can be entangled with each other/ Tie the knot so that the hair strands have a knotted structure at the junction of the closed loop structure.

To sum up, the hair extension structure of the present disclosure is a covering structure, which is composed of hair and cotton threads that are wound and knotted. It does not require the use of any fixing glue or fixing sheets, and its appearance is , the cotton thread is almost covered by hair strands.
