Abstract
A method for affixing a plurality of extension hair strands to a plurality of natural hair strands using the action of allowing a natural wax material to seep or flow and purge moisture on its own merit as opposed to being compressed or pressed, rolled or molded by hand. A releasable fusing takes place which holds the extension hair to the natural hair for an extended period of time or until removed by hand by breaking back and forth for a few seconds without the use of chemicals or pliers and without damage, pulling, or tearing of the natural hair.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI claim:
1 . A method for connecting a plurality of extension hair strands to a plurality of natural hair strands in order to ( 1 ) increase volume ( 2 ) elongate ( 3 ) add color without the use of chemicals via a process of allowing natural wax material to flow, seep or ooze amongst the extension hairs and natural hairs when they meet, to create a connection, or attachment, and allow the natural wax to form a water-resistant and solid casing around and connecting the hairs.
2 . A process of claim 1 adding supplemental hair to the natural hair which comprises:
a. parting the natural hair into a quantity of ⅛ to ¼ inch sections, each of which is used to connect a plurality of extension hair strands to;
b. providing a section of extension hair which has a distal end and a proximal end;
1. a process of claim 2 b in which the proximal end of the extension hair is comprised of a straightened, blunt, flat proximal end.
2. a process of claim 2 b whereas the extension hair is human or synthetic.
c. permeating a 1-2 cm length of the proximal end of the bundle of extension hair into a natural wax material;
1. a process of claim 2 c in which the proximal end of each single strand in the said bundle has natural wax touching on or around its embodiment to eliminate shedding of the extension hairs.
d. placing the proximal end of the extension hair containing the natural wax onto the section of natural hair;
2. a process of claim 2 d where the natural wax can be removed from the heating source, placed to the natural hair section and allowed to seep, ooze and flow through the natural hair section and create the casing.
e. guiding the natural hair and extension hair together at the beginning and end of the attachment area; and
f. without any compression, molding, rolling, allowing the liquid material to seep or flow through all the hairs, natural and extension, individually and forming a whole;
g. allowing the material to dry, harden and form a solid casing which embodies the section of natural hair and extension hairs connecting them together until they are removed;
3 . Removal, without pulling or ripping the extension directly from the natural hairs on the head of the wearer, by bending back and forth to break up the dried natural wax casing, allowing the connection to be broken up by bending the dried natural wax casing back and forth within a few seconds for the extension to be removed from the section of natural hair;
4 . The method of claim 1 including the process which comprises joining additional hair to the section of natural hair to form an extension or addition to the natural hair, which process comprises:
a. parting the section of natural hair into a ⅛ to ¼ inch sections, each of which is used to connect a plurality of extension hair strands to;
b. providing a section of extension hair which has a distal end and a proximal end;
c. placing the proximal end of the extension hair onto the ⅛ to ¼ inch section of natural hairs;
d. holding the ⅛ to ¼ inch section of natural hairs and extension hairs together; and
e. with a tool or machine permeating the proximal end of the section of extension hair and the natural hair at the attachment point with a liquid material;
f. allowing the liquid material to seep or flow through all the hairs; and
g. without compression or pressing the natural wax into the hair, allowing the material to dry, harden and form a solid casing;
h. without pulling or ripping the extension directly from the natural hairs on the head of the wearer, removing by bending back and forth to break up the hard casing by hand within a few seconds allowing the connection to be broken and the extension to be removed from the natural hair section.
5 . The method of claim 1 in which the dried natural wax material can be broken up safely without damaging, tearing or ripping out the natural hair from the head of the wearer, by bending the connection back and forth by hand in a few seconds without the use of pliers.
6 . The method of claim 1 in which the dried natural wax material can be removed by bending the connection back and forth by hand in a few seconds without chemicals or oils.
7 . The remaining dried natural wax residue can be removed completely with a comb.
8 . The method of claim 1 including the complete processes of the method are repeated throughout the head of natural hair as to add volume, lengthen and produce a collection of connections hidden in the hair.
9 . The method of claim 1 wherein the natural hair is cleansed and dried before attachment of the extensions, and any natural hairs and extension hairs which have natural or chemically derived curl or wave to them are straightened at the proximal ends of said hairs to be included in the natural wax casing.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
