Easy adjusting hair extension device

Abstract

A hair extension device is made easily adjustable and convenient to use by providing attached adjustment mechanisms which are inconspicuous and easy to hide. The hair extension device is generally formed as a headband, including a supporting base panel and a connection strand. The supporting base panel can accommodate extension hair in various patterns, and has adjustment mechanisms attached thereto. The size adjustment mechanisms are specifically configured to cooperate with the connection strand to effectively shorten the length of the headband structure and thereby adjust the size of the device.

1 . A hair extension device used to provide supplemental extension hair to a user, comprising:
 a supporting base panel for attachment of hair thereto in a preferred pattern, the supporting base panel sized to support a plurality of attachment points, wherein the supporting base panel has a first end and an opposite second end;   extension hair attached to the supporting base panel in the preferred pattern;   a connection strand attached to and spanning between the first end and the second end of the supporting base panel, the connection strand being sufficiently small so as to be easily hidden within the user's hair; and   a size adjustment mechanism attached to the supporting base panel for selectively adjusting the length of the connecting strand that actually spans between the first end and the second end of the supporting base panel, wherein the size adjustment mechanism includes a winding mechanism for winding a portion of the connection strand thereby effectively reducing the distance the connecting strand will span between the first end and the second end of the supporting base panel.   
     
     
         2 . The hair extension device of  claim 1  wherein the size adjustment mechanism includes a first hook and a second hook attached to the first end of the panel in opposing orientations such that the coupling strand can be wound around the first hook and the second hook. 
     
     
         3 . The hair extension device of  claim 1  wherein the size adjustment mechanism includes at least one hook attached to the first end of the supporting base panel so as to have an open end of the hook oriented toward the second end of the panel thereby allowing the connection strand to be looped around the hook. 
     
     
         4 . The hair extension device of  claim 1  wherein the size adjustment mechanism includes at least one snap attached to the first end of the supporting base panel so as to allow a user to wrap the connection strand around a post of the snap and to have a snap cover attached to the post thereby capturing the connection strand as it surrounds the post. 
     
     
         5 . The hair extension device of  claim 1  wherein the connection strand is a filament line having a color and weight that is easily concealed in the user's hair. 
     
     
         6 . The hair extension device of  claim 1  wherein the connection strand is fishing line. 
     
     
         7 . A hair extension device for supplementing the hair of a user while also being hidden from view when worn, the hair extension device comprising:
 an extension hair base being a substantially rectangular and flat with a first side edge and a second side edge, the first side edge and the second side edge being opposite one another, the extension hair base further having a hair attachment surface on a flat facing surface thereof;   extension hair attached to the extension hair base in a predetermined manner;   a connection strand attached to the extension hair base in close proximity to the first side edge and attached at an opposite end of the connection strand to the extension hair base in close proximity to the second side edge, wherein the connection strand has an effective length extending between the first side edge and the second side edge; and   a size adjustment device attached to the extension hair base in close proximity to the first end and configured to interact with the connection strand thus allowing easy shortening of the effective length, wherein the size adjustment device comprises a post structure that accommodates the winding of the connection strand there around thus shortening the effective length.   
     
     
         8 . The hair extension device of  7  wherein the post of the size adjustment device is a snap thus allowing a snap cap to be placed thereon when the connection strand has been wound a desired number of times. 
     
     
         9 . The hair extension device of  7  wherein the post of the size adjustment device is a portion of a first hook structure attached to the extension hair base at a position inward from the connection point and further from the first side edge. 
     
     
         10 . The hair extension device of  claim 9  wherein the size adjustment device further comprises a second hook oriented to be opposite the first hook structure thereby allowing the connection strand to be easily wound around the first hook and the second hook. 
     
     
         11 . The hair extension device of  claim 10  further comprising a third hook positioned further away from the first hook to accommodate the winding of an additional length of the connection strand. 
     
     
         12 . The hair extension device of  7  wherein the post of the size adjustment device is a portion of a button which allows the connection strand to be wound a desired number of times. 
     
     
         13 . The hair extension device of  claim 7  wherein the connection strand is a filament type material having a color and dimension which is easily concealed in the user's hair. 
     
     
         14 . A hair extension device for supplementing the hair of a user while also being hidden from view when worn, the hair extension device comprising:
 an extension hair base being a substantially rectangular and flat panel of material with a first side edge and a second side edge, the first side edge and the second side edge being opposite one another, the extension hair base further having a hair attachment surface a flat surface of the panel;   extension hair attached to the extension hair base in a predetermined manner, wherein the extension hair is of a predetermined color and texture so as to create the desired look when incorporated into the user's hair;   a connection strand attached to the extension hair base in close proximity to the first side edge and attached at an opposite end of the connection strand to the extension hair base in close proximity to the second side edge, wherein the connection strand has an effective length extending between the first side edge and the second side edge, the connection strand being a filament type material having a color and dimension which is easily concealed in the user's hair; and   a size adjustment device attached to the extension hair base in close proximity to the first end and configured to interact with the connection strand thus allowing easy shortening of the effective length, wherein the size adjustment device a first hook and a second hook in an opposite opposing orientation thus easily accommodating the winding of the connection strand there around thereby shortening the effective length of the connection strand.   
     
     
         15 . The hair extension device of  claim 14  further comprising a third hook positioned further away from the first hook to accommodate the winding of an additional length of the connection strand.
