Abstract

An improved hair extension having snap-lock attaching clips useful for instantly attaching or detaching the hair extension or track to the wearer's natural hair. The hair extension comprises 2 to 3 layers of human or synthetic hair tracks sewn together to create one thicker layer and 3 snap-lock clips, all sewn onto the base of the lead extension along the top inside edge. The wearer can quickly and easily apply the extension to their natural hair with the confidence of a firm and secure grip and enjoy the appearance of fuller, longer, more natural looking hair, while maintaining a completely unnoticeable appearance to the on-looker.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An instant, self-applicable hair extension or track, useful for adding human hair to a persons natural hair, said extension comprising, 
 (a) multiple layers of hair tracks and snap-lock attaching clips useful for attaching the hair extension to a wearer's natural hair,    (b) said hair extension defined in  claim 1  has single layers of human or synthetic hair tracks sewn together at the base or manufactured seam, to create one fuller track,    (c) said hair extension base or seam is flexible and works simultaneously with the base of the snap-lock clips at the point in which they are sewn together.    
   
   
       2 . The snap-lock attaching clips defined in  claim 1  are sewn onto the base of the hair track along the top inside edge, the clips are useful for enabling the wearer to instantly and firmly attach or detach the extension to their natural hair, 
 (a) said clips defined in  claim 2  are typically formed of a thin metal having a slightly curved base with small holes through the bar of the base, these holes are useful for sewing the clips onto the base of the hair tracks along the top inside edge,    (b) said clip defined in  claim 2  has a resilient coated clamping bar extending slightly above the base bar and a single row of small comb-like teeth also having a resilient coating on the free ends of the teeth, useful for sliding the extension onto the wearer's natural hair and firmly locking it in place,    (c) said clip defined in  claim 2  is in the open position when the base is pressed forward causing the comb-like teeth to expand and move slightly forward and away from the clamping bar, when the clip is pressed in the opposite direction or in the closed position, the comb-like teeth converge and snap over-center, pressing the teeth firmly against the clamping bar, this allows the instant hair extension to be snap-locked and firmly grip onto the wearer's natural hair.    
   
   
       3 . When the instant hair extension is properly applied the wearer is able to comb or brush a portion of their natural hair onto the hair extension, repeating this process for as many layers as are desired, this method produces a completely natural and inconspicuous appearance to the on-looker while promoting freer flowing hair.
