- the hair strands 52 are attached to the base 12 throughout the hair part zone 54 via hand-tying or similar means so as to allow the hair strands 52 proximate to the slit edges 26 , 28 and the apex 24 to initially extend upwardly from the top surface 32 of the base 12 before falling away from the slit edges 26 , 28 and the apex 24 .
- This arrangement allows the hair strands 52 in the hair part zone 54 to emulate the appearance of hairs growing naturally out of the user's head, which facilitates the appearance of a more natural-locking and appealing hair part when the hairpiece 10 is in use.
- Hair strands 36 , 52 may be attached to every hole in the mesh of base 12 or to fewer holes, depending on whether a fuller or more sparse look is desired.

Description
- This is a non-provisional application claiming priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/550,076 filed Oct. 21, 2011, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The invention relates to hairpieces and, more particularly, to hairpieces that are used to create the appearance of parted hair.
- Many people, particularly women, who are unhappy with their hairstyle utilize hair extensions, wigs and weaves to provide themselves with new and exciting hairstyles. However, the process of weaving hair extensions or a hair weave into a persons hair is arduous, time consuming, expensive, and often requires the service of a hair-weaving professional. Furthermore, if a portion of the person's hair weave ever becomes damaged, replacing that portion of the weave typically requires a complete reworking or replacement of the person's entire hair weave.
- A hairpiece for creating a hair part comprises a flexible base that is sized and shaped to coincide with the top-central region of a person's head of hair. The base has, relative to its practical placement on a person's head, a front edge and a back edge. The base also has a V-shaped slit that extends from the front end to an apex proximate to the back end, thereby creating slit edges that can be used to create a hair part on the user's head. The base also has a bottomsurface, on which a textile pad is attached, and a top surface through which hair flows outwardly to facilitate the look of a hair part when the hairpiece is in use.
- In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a hairpiece for creating a hair part includes a base having an outer perimeter, which includes a front edge, a back opposite the front edge, a first side and a second side. The base also includes a slit extending from the front edge toward the back edge and terminating at an apex spaced inwardly from the back edge such that the apex is positioned between the front and back edges. The first side is located on one side of the slit, while the second side is located on an opposite side of the slit. The hairpiece also includes a plurality of hair wefts attached to the base, each of which, has a plurality of hair strands extending therefrom. The hair wefts includes at least one hair weft attached to the base along a path extending around the slit from a first location positioned on the first side of the base adjacent the front edge and terminating at a second location positioned on the second side of the base adjacent the front edge.

Referring toFIG. 1 , which is a schematic representation of a bottom plan view of thehairpiece 10, thehairpiece 10 includes aflexible base 12 which includes a sheet of flexible mesh material or stocking base that permits ventilation therethrough and allows for hair to be sewn, woven or hand-tied therein or thereto. Thebase 12 has a generally oblong shape and is adapted to fit over a portion of the hair on a top, central region of a user's head (seeFIG. 5 ). Thebase 12 has anouter front edge 14, anouter back edge 16, and a pair ofouter side edges front edge 14 to the back edge 16 (seeFIG. 3 ). In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the base has a length L of about 12.5 cm from thefront edge 14 to theback edge 16, and a width W of about 8 cm from theside edge 18 to theside edge 20. Thebase 12 also has a V orU-shaped slit 22 that extends from thefront end 14 to anapex 24 proximate to theback end 16; creating an opposed pair ofslit edges 26, 28 (seeFIG. 2 ). Theslit edges slit 22 is generally aligned with an imaginary line B-B that substantially bisects the width W of thebase 12. - The
base 12 also has a bottom surface 30 (seeFIGS. 1 and 2 ), which is adapted to face the user's hair when thehairpiece 10 is being worn, and a top surface 32 (visible inFIG. 2 , but not inFIG. 1 ), which is adapted to face away from the user's hair when thehairpiece 10 is being worn. Atextile pad 34 is attached (e.g., sewn, adhered, etc.) to thebottom surface 30 of thebase 12, so as to be interposed between thebase 12 and the user's hair when thehairpiece 10 is being worn. Thetextile pad 34 is adapted to be open alongslit 22.Hair strands 36 are attached to thebase 12 such that they extend outwardly from thetop surface 32 of thebase 12. -
FIG. 2 is a top perspective view of thehairpiece 10 ofFIG. 1 , in whichhair strands 36 can be seen extending outwardly from thetop surface 32 of thebase 12.FIG. 2 also shows the relationships of thefront edge 14,slit 22, slitapex 24 andslit edges hair strands 36, as they might be seen in a frontal top perspective view of thehairpiece 10. - Now referring jointly to
FIGS. 3 and 4 , thehair strands 36 include a plurality of hair wefts 38 a-38 e that are attached to thetop surface 32 of thebase 12 along various paths 40 a-40 e, 42, 44, 46 and 48. The hair wefts 38 a-38 e, with the associated paths 40 a-40 e, 42, 44, 46 and 48, are exemplary, as thehairpiece 10 may include numerous additional hair wefts attached to thebase 12 at numerous additional locations. The paths 40 a-40 e. 42, 44, 46 and 48 are shown most clearly inFIG. 3 , where they are presented as hidden features beneath thetextile pad 34. So that the paths 40 a-40 e, 42, 44, 46 and 48 may be seen clearly, thetextile pad 34 is shown in white and stippled portions, and the portion of thebase 12 that would be attached to thetextile pad 34 is not shown. The hair wefts 38 a-38 e are most clearly shown inFIG. 4 . - Continuing to refer jointly to
FIGS. 3 and 4 ,hair weft 38 a is attached to thetop surface 32 of thebase 12 along anarcuate path 40 a, which is set off from thefront edge 14,back edge 16 andside edge arcuate path 40 a extends from apoint 50 a that et off from theslit seam 26 by a distance D2 to apoint 50 b that is set off from theslit seam 28 by a distance D3, which may be equal to the distance D2. In the present exemplary embodiment, distance D1 may be about 1 cm, distance D2 may be about 0.5 cm, and distance D3 may be about 0.5 cm, -
Hair wefts 38 b-e are attached to thetop surface 32 of thebase 12 alongside paths 40 b-e, respectively, which may extend along lines that are substantially parallel to the nearest respective one ofslit edges paths 40 b-e extends from one ofpoints 24 a-d to a corresponding one ofpoints 50 a-d.Points 24 a-d are located on, or proximate to, an imaginary line C-C that is substantially perpendicular to the imaginary line B-B and proximate to theslit apex 24. Two side paths (e.g.,side paths 40 b, 40 c) are set off from theslit edges side paths 40 d, 40 e) are set off from theslit edges side paths 40 b-40 e are substantially parallel to the respective ones ofslit edges side paths 40 b-40 e. In other embodiments,side paths 40 b, 40 c may approach theapex 24 ofslit 22, so that distances D2, D3, D4 and D5 would be smaller nearapex 24 than near thefront edge 14 of thebase 12. - Additional hair efts (not shown) are attached to the
top surface 32 of thebase 12 along backarcuate paths arcuate paths arcuate path 40 a, and are arranged in a spaced and nested pattern (i.e.,path 48 is nested inpath 46, which is nested inpath 44, which is nested in path 42). Each of the backarcuate paths respective start point apex 24, and terminates at arespective end point apex 24. - The hair wefts 38 a-38 e are attached to the
top surface 32 ofbase 12 using conventional techniques known in the art, such as sewing or weaving. The hair wefts attached to the backarcuate paths base 12 by the same methods. - Each of the hair wefts used in the
hairpiece 10 is either a single weft or a double weft (i.e., two single wefts layered one upon the other). In the embodiment shown inFIGS. 1-4 , the hair wefts 38 a-e that are attached to thebase 12 alongarcuate path 40 a andside paths 40 b-e are single wefts, while the hair wefts (not shown) attached along the backarcuate paths arcuate paths hair strands 36 near theback edge 16 of thebase 12. Using single wefts alongarcuate path 40 a andside paths 40 b-e allows thehair strands 36 to provide sufficient hair coverage near the side edges 18, 20 of thebase 12 without adding bulk. - The
hair strands 36 includehair strands 52 which are attached to thebase 12 throughout ahair part zone 54, which is located proximate to the slit edges 26, 28 of thebase 12, and thepaths 40 b, 40 c. The hair part zone 54 (i.e., the stippled area shown onFIG. 3 ) has a shape similar to that of a “V” or a “U”, and is roughly bounded by the slit edges 26, 28 and the apex 24, and by thepaths 40 b, 40 c and thearcuate path 48. Thehair strands 52 are attached to thebase 12 throughout thehair part zone 54 via hand-tying or similar means so as to allow thehair strands 52 proximate to the slit edges 26, 28 and the apex 24 to initially extend upwardly from thetop surface 32 of the base 12 before falling away from the slit edges 26, 28 and the apex 24. This arrangement allows thehair strands 52 in thehair part zone 54 to emulate the appearance of hairs growing naturally out of the user's head, which facilitates the appearance of a more natural-locking and appealing hair part when thehairpiece 10 is in use.Hair strands base 12 or to fewer holes, depending on whether a fuller or more sparse look is desired. -
FIGS. 5-7 illustrate a sequence of steps in an exemplary method of using thehairpiece 10. Referring toFIG. 5 , in a first step of applying thehairpiece 10 to a user'shead 56, the user'shair 58 is arranged in a series of cornrows (for example, cornrows 60 a-60 f), which provide a suitable medium for securing thebase 12 of thehairpiece 10 to the user'shair 58. In the exemplary embodiment shown inFIG. 5 , side cornrows 60 a, 60 b are on oneside 62 of thehead 56 andside cornrows 60 e, 60 f are on theopposite side 64 of thehead 56. Thecentral cornrows 60 c, 60 d are arranged on the top of thehead 56 to serve as a platform for securing thebase 12 of the hairpiece 10 (not shown), and are aligned to expose an area ofscalp 66 where thehair piece 10 will provide the appearance of parted hair.Reference number 68 refers to the user's natural front hairline proximate the exposed area ofscalp 66.Reference number 70 refers to the general location of the crown of the user'shead 56. - Referring now to
FIG. 6 , in a later step of the exemplary method,ancillary hair 72 is applied to the back (not shown) andside portions hair 58, proximate to thecentral cornrows 60 c, 60 d.Ancillary hair 72 may comprise hair extensions or additional hairpieces. - Referring now to
FIG. 7 , which shows thefinished hairpiece 10 in place on the user'shead 56, thehairpiece 10 is arranged against thecentral cornrows 60 c, 60 d (not shown) and area of exposedscalp 66 so that the bottom surface 30 (not shown) of the base 12 (shown in outline as a hidden feature) is facing the users head 56, with the textile pad 34 (not shown) betweenbase 12 and the user'shead 56. Thebase 12 is oriented so that thefront end 14 of thebase 12 is located proximate to theforehead hairline 68 of the user'shair 58 and theslit apex 24 is proximate to area of thecrown 70 of the user's head. The slit edges 26, 28 are placed adjacent to each other and aligned with one of thecentral cornrows 60 c, 60 d over the area of exposed scalp 66 (not shown) so as to create the appearance of ahair part line 74. The angle of the part can be adjusted by arranging the width of theslit 22 and position of the base 12 on thecrown 70 of the user'shead 56. - Once the
hairpiece 10 is arranged as discussed above with respect toFIG. 7 , thehairpiece 10 is secured to the user'shair 58 the front, back and side edges 14, 16, 18, 20 of the base 12 using conventional weaving techniques known in the art. One of such methods is to sew the base 12 into the user's hair 58 (e.g., to cornrows 60 c, 60 d). In an embodiment of the method of the present invention, thehairpiece 10 can be further secured against the user'shair 58 by also sewing thetextile pad 34 to the user'shair 58. In another embodiment of the method of the present invention, thehairpiece 10 can be further secured against the user'shair 58 by applying an adhesive means, such as glue or a pressure-sensitive adhesive, against thetextile pad 34 of thebase 12 and pressing thetextile pad 34 against the user'shair 58. - Once the
hairpiece 10 is secured against the user'shair 58, thehair strands 52 proximate to thehair part line 74 flow outwardly from thehairpiece 10 and away from thehair part line 74, thereby creating a hair part for the user while thehair strands 36 of the wefts 38 a-38 e (seeFIGS. 3 and 4 ), and the wefts alongarcuate paths FIG. 3 ) of thehairpiece 10 are incorporated with theancillary hair 72. The excess portion of the base 12 between thefront end 14 and theforehead hairline 68 may then be trimmed away, thereby removing any unsightly portion of the base 12 that would be exposed to view. Thehair strands ancillary hair 72. -
FIGS. 8-10 illustrate a sequence of steps in a second exemplary method of using thehairpiece 10. Referring toFIGS. 8 and 9 , in a first step of applying thehairpiece 10 to a user'shead 78, the user'shair 80 is arranged in an arrangement of cornrows (for example, cornrows 82 a-82 m), the ends 84 a-84 m define the approximate extent of the intended location of the hair part line 86 (indicated onFIGS. 8 and 9 by dashed lines). In the exemplary method ofFIGS. 8-10 , thehair part line 86 is toward the side of the head, rather than at the center. The cornrows 82 a-82 m provide a suitable medium for securing anancillary hairpiece 88 and thebase 12 of thehairpiece 10 to the user'shair 80. InFIGS. 8 and 9 ,reference number 90 refers to the user's natural front hairline proximate the location of the intendedhair part line 86, andreference number 92 refers to the general location of the crown of the user'shead 78. - Referring now to
FIG. 9 , in a later step of the exemplary method, anancillary hairpiece 88 has been sewn to the cornrows 82 a-82 m at theedge 94 of theancillary hairpiece 88. The corn row ends 84 a-84 m remain exposed. - Referring now to
FIG. 10 , which shows thefinished hairpiece 10 in place on the user'shead 78, thehairpiece 10 is arranged against the ends 84 a-84 m (not shown) of the cornrows 82 a-82 m (not shown) so that the bottom surface 30 (not shown) of the base 12 (shown in outline as a hidden feature) is facing the users head 78, with the textile pad 34 (not shown) betweenbase 12 and the user'shead 78. Thebase 12 is oriented so that thefront end 14 of thebase 12 is located proximate to theforehead hairline 90 of the user'shair 80 and theslit apex 24 is aligned with the intended location of thehair part line 86 with the slit edges 26, 28 placed adjacent to each other to create the appearance of a hair part line. The angle of the part can be adjusted by arranging the width of theslit 22 and position of the base 12 on thecrown 92 of the user'shead 78. - Once the
hairpiece 10 is arranged as discussed above with respect toFIG. 10 , thehairpiece 10 is secured to the user'shair 80 along the front, back and side edges 14, 16, 18, 20 of the base 12 using conventional weaving techniques known in the art. One of such methods is to sew the base 12 into the user's hair 80 (e.g., to cornrows 82 a-82 m). In an embodiment of the method of the present invention, thehairpiece 10 can be further secured against the user'shair 80 by also sewing thetextile pad 34 to the user'shair 80. In another embodiment of the method of the present invention, thehairpiece 10 can be further secured against the user's 80 by applying an adhesive means, such as glue or a pressure-sensitive adhesive, against thetextile pad 34 of thebase 12 and pressing thetextile pad 34 against the user'shair 80. - Once the
hairpiece 10 is secured against the user'shair 80, thehair strands 52 proximate to thehair part line 86 flow outwardly from thehairpiece 10 and away from thehair part line 86, thereby creating a hair part for the user while thehair strands 36 of the wefts 38 a-38 e (seeFIGS. 3 and 4 ), and the wefts alongarcuate paths FIG. 3 ) of thehairpiece 10 are incorporated with theancillary hairpiece 88. The excess portion of the base 12 between thefront end 14 and theforehead hairline 90 may then be trimmed away, thereby removing any unsightly portion of the base 12 that would be exposed to view. - In a third exemplary method of using the
hairpiece 10, the first or second exemplary method described above in relation toFIGS. 5-7 and 8-10, respectively, may be supplemented as follows. The supplemental steps are not illustrated, but will be readily understood, by one experienced in the hair dresser's arts who is in possession of the present disclosure. During the process of arranging the user'shair hair 58, 80 (a.k.a., a “leave-out”) is left out of the cornrows 60 a-60 f, 82 a-82 m along the intended location of thehair part line ancillary hair 72 orancillary hairpiece 88. After placement of thehairpiece 10, the leave-out is aligned with thehair part line hair part line hairs hairpiece 10 to create a finished appearance. - The present invention provides a number of benefits and advantages. For instance, the V-shaped
slit 22 of thehairpiece 10, along with the arrangement of thehair strands 52 proximate to the slit edges 26, 28 and the apex 24, provides the user with the opportunity to incorporate a stylish hair part into the user's hair style. In addition, the long and arduous process of weaving multiple wefts of hair into the user'shair hairpiece 10 onto the user'shair base 12 is comfortable to the user and allows the area beneath to the base 12 to “breathe” (i.e., allow heat accumulating beneath the base 12 to dissipate without having sweat collect between the user'shair 58 and the hairpiece 10). In addition, if thehair strands hairpiece 10 become damaged, thehairpiece 10 can be removed and replaced with a new one without requiring a complete reworking of the user's hairstyle. - It should be noted that the present invention can have numerous modifications and variations. For instance, the
hairpiece 10 may be larger or smaller to encompass a larger or smaller portion of the user'shair 58 when thehairpiece 10 is put into use. Theslit 22 may offset at an angle from the imaginary line B-B, rather than aligned with it. In addition, whileFIGS. 1-4 only show thehairpiece 10 having only foursingle wefts 38 b-38 e along therespective side paths 42 a-d and double wefts (not shown) along the respective backarcuate paths FIGS. 1-4 , thereby giving the hair strands 36 a thicker and fuller appearance. Yet other embodiments of a hairpiece according to the present invention may incorporate fewer than the wefts discussed with respect toFIGS. 1-4 , thereby giving the hairpiece a less bulky appearance. In various embodiments, single wefts may be substituted for double wefts, and vice versa. Further, the various wefts discussed with regard to thehairpiece 10, and other embodiments thereof, made be made of human hair or synthetic hair. - It will be understood that the embodiments described herein are merely exemplary and that a person skilled in the art may make many variations and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. All such variations and modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the invention, as embodied in the claim presented hereinbelow;
