Replacement hair strand having a hair-joining element

Abstract

The invention relates to a replacement hair strand having a hair-joining element, consisting of a flat thermoplastic platelet having a replacement hair strand embedded in the end thereof, wherein in order to ensure a secure join with a head hair strand at least one rib running obliquely with respect to the strand direction protrudes from one of the two flat sides of the platelet. At the base thereof, the rib can have approximately the thickness of the platelet, and towards the free end thereof, the rib can be tapered. The height of the rib corresponds preferably to at most the longitudinal extent of the platelet extended in the strand direction.

1 . Replacement hair strands having a hair-joining element comprising a flat platelet with one replacement hair strand embedded on an end of the platelet, characterized in that and at least one rib that protrudes obliquely with respect to the strand direction from one of two flat sides of the platelet. 
     
     
         2 . Replacement hair strands having a hair-joining element according to  claim 1 , wherein the rib has a base thickness that is approximately the same as a thickness of the platelet and is tapered toward its free end. 
     
     
         3 . Replacement hair strands having a hair-joining element according to  claim 2 , wherein a maximum height of the rib corresponds to a longitudinal size of the platelet in the strand direction. 
     
     
         4 . Replacement hair strands having a hair-joining element according to  claim 1 , wherein a maximum height of the rib corresponds to a longitudinal size of the platelet in the strand direction.
