Hair extension assembly and method of application

Abstract

A hair extension assembly includes an elongated base being sufficiently flexible to conform to the contours of the wearer's head and including an attachment assembly comprising a plurality of loops extending along one longitudinal side of the base. A collection of extension hair includes a plurality of supplemental strands secured to the base substantially opposite relative to the plurality of loops. As applied, the base and more specifically the plurality of loops are disposed in adjacent, substantially aligned relation to a hair part or seam formed in the natural hair of the wearer. A plurality of natural hair groupings are formed along one side of the seam and the plurality of loops are cooperatively disposed and dimensioned to facilitate passage of the hair groupings therethrough for attachment to one another thereby securing the base and the collection of extension hair in an intended position on the head of the wearer.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hair extension assembly structured to supplement the natural scalp hair of a wearer, said hair extension assembly comprising:
 an elongated base formed of a flexible, substantially thin mesh material having sufficient flexibility to conform to a corresponding contour of the head of the wearer,   a collection of extension hair extending along the length of said base and comprising a plurality of supplemental strands,   said plurality of supplemental strands connected to said base along a common longitudinal side and extending outwardly therefrom,   a flexible attachment assembly connected to said base and disposed and structured to secure said base to the natural hair of the wearer, and   said attachment assembly comprising a plurality of integrally formed loops collectively extending along at least a majority of the length of said base and structured to facilitate passage of correspondingly positioned natural hair groupings through at least some of said plurality of loops, said plurality of loops extending outwardly from a first longitudinal side of said base, and relatively disposed to facilitate attachment of adjacent ones of the natural hair groupings passing through said plurality of loops to one another.   
     
     
         2 . A hair extension assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein said plurality of loops are contiguously disposed relative to one another along the length of said base. 
     
     
         3 . A hair extension assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein said plurality of loops are disposed in spaced relation to one another along the length of said base. 
     
     
         4 . A hair extension assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein said plurality of supplemental strands are disposed and structured to collectively extend outwardly from a second longitudinal side of said base. 
     
     
         5 . A hair extension assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein said plurality of loops are disposed and structured to at least partially define one longitudinal side of said base. 
     
     
         6 . A hair extension assembly as recited in  claim 5  wherein said plurality of supplemental strands collectively extend outwardly from an opposite longitudinal side of said base relative to said plurality of loops. 
     
     
         7 . A hair extension assembly as recited in  claim 5  wherein said plurality of supplemental strands are connected to said base adjacent an opposite longitudinal side thereof relative to said plurality of loops. 
     
     
         8 . A hair extension assembly as recited in  claim 7  wherein said plurality of supplemental strands are operatively disposed to extend outwardly from said opposite longitudinal side. 
     
     
         9 . A hair extension assembly as recited in  claim 5  wherein said plurality of loops are relatively disposed to facilitate attachment to one another of adjacent ones of the natural hair groupings subsequent to passing through said plurality of loops. 
     
     
         10 . A hair extension assembly as recited in  claim 1  wherein said attachment assembly is formed of a flexible, substantially thin mesh material.
