Description

BACKGROUND

Technical Field

The embodiments herein relate generally to the field of hair cosmetology. Particularly, the embodiments herein relates to apparatus and methods used for hair extensions. More particularly, the embodiments herein relates to hair extension wefts and methods of integrating hair extension wefts to a human scalp.

Description of the Related Art

The hair extensions are used to enhance a beauty of people having scanty hair. In some cases, the hair extensions supplement natural hairs of people suffering from hair loss. Typically the hair extensions are provided in a form of wefts where multiple strands of natural human hair or synthetic hair are woven together on a base structure. The base structure along with a multiple attached strands of hair are referred to as hair extension wefts. Such hair extension wefts are anchored to a human scalp by various techniques to improve an overall volume of hair.

Some of the techniques of anchoring the hair extension wefts involve a use of micro rings or microbeads and the natural hairs of existing on the human scalp, to clamp the wefts close to the human scalp. However, such anchored hair extension wefts using the natural hairs of a person, tend to slip due to growth of the natural hair. Further, a structure of the existing hair extension wefts tend to prevent a free flow of air and water thereby making a cleaning of hair difficult. The cleaning products such as hair oils, shampoos and other hair products sometimes tend to get stuck between such wefts, thereby leading to a growth of bacteria, and molds. As the abovementioned products continue to get stuck over a period of time, the wefts get heavier and apply a strain over the natural hairs existing on the human scalp, thereby leading to a hair breakage and further a hair loss.

Hence there is a need for an improved hair extension weft and a method of anchoring the hair extension weft to enable an efficient cleaning of the hair extension weft, after an anchoring of the hair extension weft on a human scalp once. Further, there is a need for a method of anchoring the hair extension weft to reduce slipping of the anchored hair extension weft during a growth of natural hairs on the human scalp.

The above-mentioned shortcomings, disadvantages, and problems are addressed herein and which will be understood by reading and studying the following specification.

OBJECTIVES OF THE EMBODIMENTS HEREIN

A primary object of the embodiments herein is to provide a ventilated hair extension weft that enables a free flow of air and water through the hair extensions.

Another object of the embodiments herein is to provide an improved hair extension weft to facilitate efficient cleaning of the hair extension weft after anchoring on a human scalp.

Yet another object of the embodiments herein is to develop an improved hair extension weft provided with an additional support through a plurality of microbeads to avoid a slippage of the hair extension weft due to a result of hair growth, when the extension weft is anchored to a human scalp using microbeads in order.

FIG. 1 illustrates a front open view 100 of a hair extension weft 102 anchored on a surface, according to an embodiment herein. In an example embodiment, the surface is a human scalp of a person, and the hair extension weft 102 is anchored to improve an overall hair volume on the human scalp of the person.

The hair extension weft 102 includes a polyurethane strip 124 extending along a longitudinal axis and comprising a first longitudinal edge, a second opposing longitudinal edge, a first transverse edge extending between first ends of the first and second longitudinal edges and a second transverse edge, opposite the first transverse edge and extending between second ends of the first and second longitudinal edges, wherein the longitudinal axis divides the polyurethane strip into equal top and bottom halves. The polyurethane strip encloses a plurality of rectangular meshes, for example a first rectangular mesh 104a, and a second rectangular mesh 104b, and a plurality of apertures 114a-n. Each of the first and second rectangular meshes comprising a top edge, a bottom edge, and first and second lateral edges. A first gap is disposed between the first longitudinal edge of the polyurethane strip and a top edge of the first rectangular mesh, a second gap is disposed between the first transverse edge of the polyurethane strip and a first lateral edge of the first rectangular mesh, and a third gap disposed between the second transverse edge of the polyurethane strip and a second lateral edge of the first rectangular mesh. The second rectangular mesh is secured to the polyurethane strip, parallel to the first rectangular mesh and a fourth gap disposed between the second longitudinal edge of the polyurethane strip and a bottom edge of the second rectangular mesh, a fifth gap disposed between the first transverse edge of the polyurethane strip and a first lateral edge of the second rectangular mesh, and a sixth gap disposed between the second transverse edge of the polyurethane strip and a second lateral edge of the second rectangular mesh; and a seventh gap disposed between a bottom edge of the first rectangular mesh and a top edge of the second rectangular mesh. The plurality of meshes 104a, 104b are fabricated into the polyurethane strip 102 in a longitudinal direction 110. Each mesh has a plurality of extension hairs attached in a transverse orientation 112. For example, the mesh 104a has a plurality of extension hairs 106a-n attached in the transverse orientation 112. Similarly the mesh 104b has a plurality of extension hairs 108a-n in the transverse orientation 112. The plurality of extension hairs 106a-n can be attached to the mesh 104a by a ventilation process or by hand knotting. Further, the plurality of extension hairs, for example 106a-n and 108a-n, can be composed of natural human hair, or synthetic hair.

Further, in an embodiment, the plurality of apertures 114a-n can be fabricated along the longitudinal direction 110 between the plurality of meshes 104a and 104b. Each aperture can be configured to receive a plurality of hairs extending from a surface. For example, the aperture 114a receives a plurality of hairs 120a from the surface. Further, the plurality of hairs 120a is clamped, to anchor the hair extension weft 102 to the surface.

Further, the hair extension weft includes a plurality of microbeads 118a-n arranged along the longitudinal direction 110. Each microbead includes a hole greater in diameter than each aperture to receive the plurality of hairs extending from each aperture. For example, microbead 118a receives the plurality of hairs 116a extending from the aperture 114a. In an embodiment, the plurality of hairs 116a is pulled through the aperture 114a using a needle shaped tool 200e (as shown in FIG. 2E) that is placed under the aperture 114a. Upon receiving the plurality of hairs, the each microbead is clamped onto the plurality of hairs using a plyer device 200a (as shown in FIG. 2A). FIG. 2A illustrates the plyer device 200a having a first clamping part 202a and a second clamping part 204a between which the plurality of hairs are clamped using force exerted on the handle bars 206a and 208a. Upon clamping the each microbead to the plurality of hairs extending from each aperture the plurality of hairs are able to hold the hair extension weft 102 against the surface. As the each microbead has a silicone inner lining, upon clamping no damage is caused to the hair. In an example embodiment, the plurality of microbeads 118a-n is composed of a silicone material. FIG. 2B illustrates use of the plyer device 200a in clamping the microbead 118n onto the plurality of hairs 116a.

Further, a plurality of anchors 120a-n are arranged along the longitudinal direction 110 at a plurality of strategic locations, wherein an anchor is configured to receive a plurality of hairs extending from a microbead and is clamped below the microbead onto the plurality of hairs extending from the microbead to provide support to the microbead and the plurality of hairs.

In an embodiment, anchor 120a is shown to be clamped below the microbead 118a onto the plurality of hairs 116a to provide additional support to the microbead 118a and the plurality of hairs 116a. In an embodiment, the plurality of anchors 120a-n is a plurality of plastic shrinkie tubes, a plurality of keratin beads or a plurality of utip keratin pieces. The plurality of anchors 120a-n may be clamped by a process of heating using a heating device 200c, as shown in FIG. 2C. FIG. 2C depicts the heating device 200c that includes two plates 202c and 204c. In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2D, the anchor 120a is held between the two plates 202c and 204c and heat generated between the two plates 202c and 204c is used to shrink and adhere the anchor 120a to the plurality of hairs 116a. The heating device 200 can be battery operated or can be operated by electrical power.

Although two anchors 120a and 120n are shown in FIG. 1, it is understood that more than two anchors can be used to anchor the hair extension weft 102. Typically, the plurality of strategic locations comprise a plurality of areas on the surface that are subjected to abrasive use. In an embodiment, where the surface is a human scalp of a person a strategic location is an area existing on a side of the human scalp or an area at the back of the human scalp that is subjected to a greater styling than an area existing in a remaining portion of the human scalp. Hence the additional support provided by the plurality of anchors 120a-n prevent the hair extension weft 102 from wearing off easily, thereby increasing a longevity of the hair extension weft 102 on the surface by three to four months.

In an embodiment, the hair extension weft 102 may include two rectangular meshes 104a and 104b as shown FIG. 3. FIG. 3 illustrates a front view of the hair extension weft 102 including dimensional details. For example, for the polyurethane strip 124 having a length 302 of ten inches and a width 304 of one inch, the rectangular mesh 104a may have a width 306 of a half-centimeter and a length 308 of eight inches. Further, the mesh 104a may be fabricated such that the first gap is at a distance 312 of a half-centimeter from a longitudinal edge 324 of the polyurethane strip 124, and the second dap is a distance 310 of one inch from a transverse edge 326. Further, the rectangular mesh 104a is fabricated such that the seventh gap is at distance 314 of a half-centimeter from the mesh 104b. The rectangular mesh 104b has similar dimensions as the rectangular mesh 104a. The rectangular mesh 104b is secured to the polyurethane strip such that the fourth gap is at a distance 326 of a half-centimeter from another longitudinal edge 328 of the hair extension weft 102. Further the plurality of apertures 114a-n, may be fabricated at a uniform distance from each other, and disposed within the seventh gap, along the longitudinal axis of the polyurethane strip. Typically the haft extension weft 102 is folded where the plurality of apertures 114a-n are present and along the longitudinal axis 110, thereby covering knots of the plurality of hafts 116a-n present at the plurality of microbeads 118a-n and the plurality of anchors 120a-n. The hair extension weft 102 is attached using the plurality of hairs 116a-n on a surface that is covered due to aforesaid folding and hence as the attachment occurs due to pulling of the plurality of hafts 116a-n, the attachment of the hair extension weft 102 is practically invisible.

FIG. 4 illustrates a flow chart explaining a method to integrate a hair extension weft on a human scalp. At 402, the haft extension weft is clipped to the human scalp. In an embodiment the hair extension weft is cupped using plastic cups temporarily until the integration of the hair extension weft is complete. The haft extension weft may include a polyurethane strip enclosing a plurality of meshes fabricated in a longitudinal direction of the strip, where each mesh may have a plurality of extension hairs attached in a transverse orientation. The hair extension weft may include a plurality of apertures fabricated in the longitudinal direction between the plurality of meshes, where each aperture receives a plurality of hairs from the human scalp.

At 404, the plurality of hairs is pulled through each aperture by using a needle shaped tool placed under each gap of the hair extension weft.

At 406, a microbead is clamped to the plurality of hairs pulled through each aperture to anchor the hair extension weft to the human scalp. As a result a plurality of microbeads is arranged at the plurality of aperture along the longitudinal direction of the haft extension weft. Upon clamping the plurality of microbeads, the hair extension weft is provided necessary support staying integrated with the human scalp. According to an embodiment, the microbead is clamped onto the plurality of hairs by heating the microbead using a heating device. According to an embodiment, the microbead is composed of silicone material or includes a silicone layer on the inner surface that remains in contact with the plurality of hairs. Hence, due to the heat the microbead shrinks and adheres to the plurality of hafts extending from each aperture.

At 408, an anchor is clamped onto a plurality of hairs extending from a microbead located at a strategic location along the longitudinal direction of the hair extension weft to provide support to the microbead and the plurality of hairs. According to an embodiment, the strategic location is an area on the human scalp that is subjected to abrasive use such as excessive styling. For example, a sides of the human scalp is typically subjected to excessive styling which may loosen the microbead and hence the weft. Attaching the anchor at such strategic location would provide additional support and reduce wear and tear caused due to the excessive styling.

The technical advantages envisaged by the disclosed embodiments include air circulation throughout the hair extension weft, which enables fast drying and efficient ventilation. Further, easy flow of water through the hair extension weft ensures efficient cleaning. Ventilation provided by the plurality of meshes prevents shampoo, hair conditioner, hair oils and other hair products from getting stuck within the hair extension weft. As a result, bacterial growth and molding in between the hair extension weft and the plurality of microbeads are avoided. Existence of the plurality of meshes also ensures a light weighted hair extension weft in comparison to a traditional polyurethane coated hair extension weft. Due to the lightweight, less strain is placed on the plurality of hairs of the human scalp that are used for anchoring the hair extension weft. Hence, an overall user experience in terms of maintenance, and wear is improved.

Further, placing of the plurality of anchors below a set of microbeads at strategic places provides additional support to the hair extension weft and prevents slippage that usually occurs with hair growth and excessive styling. Hence, while normal silicone microbeads prevent slippage of the hair extension weft for four to six weeks on an average, use of the plurality of anchors ensures prevention of slippage for an additional three to four months for normally styled hair and three to five weeks for excessively styled hair.

Further, use of a plurality of silicone micro rings as the plurality of microbeads ensures safe use, as silicone beads or silicone micro rings are less abrasive and cannot cut or destroy normal human hair. Similarly, use of a plurality of shrinkie plastic tubes as the plurality of anchors is safe by virtue of noninvasive property of such tubes.

Furthermore, use of disclosed hair extension wefts may enable an increase in a hair volume by a hundred to two hundred percent. In an embodiment, based on a user preference, a density of hair present on the hair extension weft may be customized.

Furthermore, disclosed hair extension weft is practically undetectable. While disclosed hair extension weft is folded in the center and attached using natural hairs pulled through the center, prior art hair extension wefts are typically attached directly either on the top of the scalp or underneath tufts of hair at the bottom of the scalp. The top or underneath attachment is usually seen if the hair moves in a manner that reveals the underlying weft However disclosed hair extension weft is practically undetectable even if the hair moves in aforesaid manner.

The foregoing description of the specific embodiments will so fully reveal the general nature of the embodiments herein that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily modify and/or adapt for various applications such as specific embodiments without departing from the generic concept, and, therefore, such adaptations and modifications should and are intended to be comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalents of the disclosed embodiments.

It is to be understood that the phraseology or terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation. Therefore, while the embodiments herein have been described in terms of preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the embodiments herein can be practiced with modifications. However, all such modifications are deemed to be within the scope of the claims.
