Hairpiece for creating a hair part

Abstract

A hairpiece for creating a hair part includes a base having an outer perimeter, which includes a front edge, a back edge 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

         8 . The hairpiece of  claim 7 , wherein each of said at least two second hair wefts is substantially parallel to at least a portion of said at least one first hair weft. 
     
     
         9 . The hairpiece of  claim 8 , wherein said plurality of hair wefts includes at least two third hair wefts, at least one of which is attached to said first side of said base and at least another of which is attached to said second side of said base. 
     
     
         10 . The hairpiece of  claim 9 , wherein each of said at least two third hair wefts is attached to said base along a substantially linear path. 
     
     
         11 . The hairpiece of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of second hair strands hand-tied to said base. 
     
     
         12 . The hairpiece of  claim 11 , wherein said base includes a first slit edge adjacent said first side and a second slit edge adjacent said second side, said first and second slit edges defining said slit, said plurality of second hair strands being arranged along said first and second slit edges. 
     
     
         13 . The hairpiece of  claim 12 , wherein said at least one first hair weft is positioned around said plurality of second hair strands. 
     
     
         14 . The hairpiece of  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of hair wefts includes at least two second hair wefts attached to said base along second paths extending from fourth locations positioned on said first side of said base and terminating at fifth locations positioned on said second side of said base. 
     
     
         15 . The hairpiece of  claim 14 , wherein each of said at least two second hair wefts passes through a six location positioned between said back edge and said apex. 
     
     
         16 . A hairpiece for creating a hair part, comprising:
 a base having an outer perimeter, which includes a front edge, a back edge opposite said front edge, a first side and a second side, said base having a slit extending from said front edge toward said back edge and terminating at an apex spaced inwardly from said back edge such that said apex is positioned between said front and back edges, said first side being located on one side of said slit, and said second side being located on an opposite side of said slit;   at least ore first hair weft attached to said base and including a plurality of first hair strands extending therefrom, said at least one first hair weft being attached to said base along a first path extending around said slit from a first location positioned on said first side of said base adjacent said front edge and terminating at a second location positioned on said second side of said base adjacent said front edge; and   at least one second hair weft attached to said base and including a plurality of second hair strands extending therefrom, said at least one second hair weft being attached to said base along a second path extending from a third location positioned on said first side of said base and terminating at a second location positioned on said second side of said base.
