Apparatus for and method of hair extension, hair thickening, and hair loss concealment

Abstract

An apparatus and method for applying supplemental hair for the purpose of lengthening, thickening, and concealing hairloss, in which supplemental hair is applied with a series of partings in the wearer's natural hair and adhesive is applied to the exposed scalp. Said apparatus including grip handles, clamp arms, and clamp, are operable to allow open and close movement of clamp arms in which the secured supplemental hair is released and secured to the scalp with the application of adhesive/glue.

       10 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein: said clamp comprises a spring encompassing  claim 9  enabling and supporting  claim 9 .  
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein: the amount of supplemental hair strands are contigent upon the size of the said apparatus.  
   
   
       12 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein: the plurality of supplemental hair strands have a first end and a second end.  
   
   
       13 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein: the first end of the plurality of supplemental hair strands are creased over the free edge of  claim 6 .  
   
   
       14 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein: the supplemental hair strands of  claim 13  are creased 180 degrees.  
   
   
       15 . A method of hair extension comprising the steps of: 
 a. determining the final hairstyle    b. parting natural hair to compliment final hairstyle 
 b (1). partings of natural hair coincide with natrual hair density thereby enhancing length added  
   c. exposing the scalp of the wearer    d. applying adhesive on exposed scalp 
 d (1). application of adhesive should coincide with the size of said apparatus in  claim 1   
   e. placing the supplemental hair of  claim 13  on the applied adhesive    f. allowing adhesive to dry 
 f (1). or speeding the drying time with a low speed airflow hand held blow dryer  
   g. opening apparatus of  claim 1  to release supplemental hair by pinching the clamp of  claim 9  with the thumb and forefinger.    
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15 , futher comprising the step of shampooing the wearer's natural hair prior to determining final hairstyle.  
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising the step of thoroughly drying natural hair into position of desired final hairstyle prior to  15   b.    
   
   
       18 . A method of thickening a wearer's natural hair with supplemental hair comprising the steps of: 
 a. determining the final hairstyle    b. parting natural hair to compliment final hairstyle 
 b (1). parting natural hair to enhance natural hair density, thereby adding thickness to the wearer's natural hair  
 b (2). increasing the number of partings increases the amount of supplemental hair added to the wearer's natural hair  
   c. exposing the scalp of the wearer    d. applying adhesive on expose scalp 
 d (1). application of adhesive should coincide with the size of said apparatus in  claim 1   
   e. placing the supplemental hair of  claim 13  on the applied adhesive    f. allowing adhesive to dry 
 f (1). or speeding the drying time with low speed airflow from a hand held blow dryer  
   g. opening apparatus of  claim 1  to release supplemental hair by pinching the clamp of  claim 9  with the thumb and forefinger.    
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 18 , futher comprising the step of shampooing the wearer's natural hair prior to determining final hairstyle.  
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising the step of thoroughly drying natural hair into position of desired final hairstyle prior to  18   b.    
   
   
       21 . A method of concealing hair losss with supplemental hair comprising steps of: 
 a. determining the final hairstyle    b. sectioning wearer's natural hair into zones comprising no hairloss zone and hairloss zone    c. parting natural hair in no hairloss zone so that supplemental hair applied will coincide with the wearer's natural hair density    d. exposing the scalp of the wearer    e. applying adhesive on exposed scalp 
 e (1). application of adhesive should coincide with the size of said apparatus in  claim 1   
   f. placing the supplemental hair of  claim 13  on the applied adhesive    g. allowing adhesive to dry 
 g (1). or speeding the drying time with low speed airflow from a hand held blow dryer  
   h. opening apparatus of  claim 1  to release supplemental hair by pinching the clamp of  claim 9  with the thumb and forefinger.    i. parting natural hair in hairloss zone to enhance natural hair density thereby adding thickness to the wearer's natural hair 
 i (1). increasing the number of partings increases the amount of supplemental hair added to the wearer's natural hair  
   j. exposing the scalp of the wearer    k. applying adhesive on exposed scalp 
 k (1). application of adhesive should coincide with the size of said apparatus in  claim 1   
   l. placing the supplemental hair of  claim 13  on the applied adhesive    m. allowing adhesive to dry 
 m (1). or speeding the drying time with a low airflow from a hand held blow dryer  
   n. opening apparatus of  claim 1  to release supplemental hair by pinching the clamp of  claim 9  with the thumb and forefinger    
   
   
       22 . The method of  claim 21 , further comprising the step of shampooing the wearer's natural hair prior to determine final hairstyle.
