Methods and apparatuses for applying weft hair extensions

Abstract

Some implementations of this disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for applying weft hair extensions to a wearer's head by attaching a hair extension receiving apparatus to the wearer's hair. In some implementations, the hair extension receiving apparatus can include combs, clips, or any other attachment apparatus on one side to attach the receiving apparatus to the wearer's hair. The other side of the hair extension receiving apparatus includes a plurality of hooks. Once the receiving apparatus is attached to the wearer's hair (or before), the weft of hair extensions is inserted on the hooks of the hair extension receiving apparatus. By using implementations of the hair extension receiving apparatuses of the present disclosure, the time to apply hair extensions may be reduced and sewing or gluing may be eliminated.

1 . An apparatus for applying weft hair extensions comprising:
 a piece of material having a first side and a second side wherein the first side includes one or more attachment apparatuses configured to attach the material to hair and wherein the second side includes a plurality of hooks configured to hold a weft of hair extensions.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the one or more attachment apparatuses include one or more combs. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the piece of material comprises a strip of material and the plurality of hooks extends along the length of the strip. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the piece of material is configured as a u-part wig cap. 
     
     
         5 . A method of applying weft hair extensions using the apparatus of  claim 1 , the method comprising:
 attaching the piece of material to hair using the one or more attachment apparatuses; and   inserting the weft of hair extensions on the plurality of hooks.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5  wherein the one or more attachment apparatuses include one or more combs. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5  wherein the piece of material comprises a strip of material and the plurality of hooks extends along the length of the strip. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 5  wherein the piece of material is configured as a u-part wig cap.
