Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for enhancing a user's hair. The apparatus includes a weft of hair material, at least one ring and at least one T-anchor. The rings are made of a deformable material. The T-anchors couple the rings to the weft of hair material.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . An apparatus to enhance a user's hair, the apparatus comprising:
a weft of hair material; at least one ring comprising a deformable material; and at least one T-anchor coupling the at least one ring to the weft of hair material.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one ring further comprises a pliable non-slip material disposed within the at least one ring, wherein deformation of the at least one ring deforms the pliable non-slip material.
3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the weft of hair material includes a united end and a free end, wherein the at least one T-anchor is coupled to the united end.
4 . The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the at least one ring is coupled to the T-anchor at a position other than the united end of the hair weft.
5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one T-anchor comprises a pliable fiber having a first capping element disposed at a first end of the pliable fiber and a second capping element disposed at a second end of the pliable fiber, the first end of the pliable fiber disposed opposite the second end of the pliable fiber.
6 . The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the first capping element and the second capping element comprise a shaft disposed perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the pliable fiber.
7 . The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the first capping element comprises a first shaft disposed perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the pliable fiber and wherein the second capping element comprises a second shaft disposed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pliable fiber.
8 . The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the first capping element and the second capping element limit the withdrawal of the T-anchor from the weft of hair material and from the at least one ring.
9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a length of fibrous material, the length of fibrous material comprising at least one loop, the at least one loop positionable through the at least one ring, the at least one loop engageable with a portion of the users hair to draw the portion of the users hair through the at least one ring.
10 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one ring comprises a plurality of rings, the at least one T-anchor comprises a plurality of T-anchors and further comprising a plurality of lengths of fibrous material, each length of fibrous material comprising a loop, each T-anchor positionable through one of the pluralities of rings to couple the ring to the weft of hair material, each loop positioned through one of the plurality of rings, each loop engageable with a separate portion of the users hair to draw each of the separate portion of the users hair through at least one of the rings.
11 . A system to reuse a weft of hair material, the system comprising:
a weft of hair material comprising a united end and a free end; at least one ring comprising a deformable material; and at least one T-anchor positionable through the united end of the weft of hair material and the at least one ring to couple the at least one ring to the weft of hair material.
12 . The system of claim 11 , further comprising a tagging gun, wherein the at least one T-anchor comprises a tagging fastener and wherein the tagging gun is configured to position the T-anchor through the united end of the weft of hair material and through the at least one ring to couple the weft of hair material to the at least one ring.
13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the at least one ring is coupled to the T-anchor at a position other than the united end of the weft of hair material.
14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the tagging fastener is about one fourth of an inch in length.
15 . The system of claim 11 , further comprising a length of fibrous material, the length of fibrous material comprising at least one loop, the at least one loop positionable through the at least one ring, the at least one loop engageable with a portion of the users hair to draw the portion of the users hair through the at least one ring.
16 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the at least one T-anchor comprises a pliable fiber having a first capping element disposed at a first end of the pliable fiber and a second capping element disposed at a second end of the pliable fiber, the first end of the pliable fiber disposed opposite the second end of the pliable fiber.
17 . The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein at least one of the first capping element and the second capping element comprise a shaft disposed perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the pliable fiber, wherein the first capping element and the second capping element limit the withdrawal of the T-anchor from the weft of hair material and from the at least one ring.
18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one ring comprises a plurality of rings, the at least one T-anchor comprises a plurality of T-anchors and further comprising a plurality of lengths of fibrous material, each length of fibrous material comprising a loop, each T-anchor positionable through the united end of the weft of hair material and the at least one ring to couple the at least one ring to the weft of hair material, each loop positioned through one of the plurality of rings, each loop engageable with a separate portion of the users hair to draw each of the separate portion of the users hair through at least one of the rings.
19 . A method for enhancing a user's hair, the method comprising:
positioning a T-anchor through a united end in a weft of hair material; positioning the T-anchor through a ring comprising a deformable material; positioning a loop in a length of fibrous material through the ring; gathering a portion of the user's hair and positioning the loop in the length of fibrous material around the portion of the user's hair; removing the loop in the length of fibrous material from within the ring to draw the portion of the user's hair into the ring; and deforming the ring to trap the portion of the user's hair in the ring, wherein the deformation of the ring traps the portion of the user's hair and traps the T-anchor within the ring to support the weft of hair material on the user's head.
20 . The method for enhancing a user's hair of claim 19 , further comprising:
removing the ring from the portion of the user's hair; removing the rings from the T-anchors; and affixing a new ring to the weft of hair.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
