Integrated hair piece and method of using same

Abstract

A hair piece assembly has a two part construction that covers bald or thinning areas of a person's scalp. Natural hair of the person wearing the hair piece is utilized and interwoven with synthetic hair and natural hair portions of the hair piece so that the hair piece assembly is well blended, unnoticeable and not readily detected by others. A first portion of the hair piece assembly has a first attachment means integrated therein. The first portion is adapted to be placed on a head and attached thereto by way of the first attachment means. After being attached, the first portion is covered with natural hair on the head. A second portion of the hair piece comprises an entangled member having random entangled construction with a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end terminates at an edge and the proximal end gradually terminates the entangled construction to yield free unbraided hairs, which extend therefrom to thereby forming a flowing hair member.

1 . A hair piece assembly comprising:
 a. first portion having first attachment means integrated therein adapted to be placed on a head attached by way of said first attachment means and further adapted to be covered with natural hair on said head;   b. said first portion being constructed as a band having a top wall, bottom wall and side walls and a front face and back face;   c. a second portion having an entangled member having a random entangled construction with a distal end and a proximal end, said distal end terminating at an edge and said proximal end gradually terminating said entangled construction to yield a free flowing member with hairs extending therefrom;   wherein said first portion and said second portion are separate portions and said entangled member of said second portion is adapted to be secured with said first portion of said head and said flowing hair member being adapted to extend therefrom.

         4 . A hair piece assembly as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said first portion is attached to said second portion. 
     
     
         5 . A hair piece assembly as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said second portion comprises attachment means. 
     
     
         6 . A hair piece assembly as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said proximal end of said entangled member of said second portion comprises attachment means. 
     
     
         7 . A hair piece assembly as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said edge of said distal end of said entangled member of said second portion comprises attachment means. 
     
     
         8 . A hair piece assembly as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said first portion is constructed from a synthetic material. 
     
     
         9 . A hair piece assembly as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said first portion is constructed from a fibrous, thin, and elastic, expandable or flexible material. 
     
     
         10 . A hair piece assembly as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said first portion is constructed having first attachment means integrated within each of said side walls, said first attachment means comprising comb members that have a spine parallel and abutting said side walls and prongs adjacent to said side walls. 
     
     
         11 . A hair piece assembly as recited by  claim 10 , wherein said first attachment means of said first portion are located on each of said side walls and at least one secondary attachment means is located on a front face of said band. 
     
     
         12 . A hair piece assembly as recited by  claim 10 , wherein at least one of said first attachment means located on said side walls is located on said back face of said band. 
     
     
         13 . A hair piece assembly as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said entangled member of said second portion includes a top surface having an attachment means thereon appointed to attach to a back face of said first portion. 
     
     
         14 . A hair piece assembly as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said entangled member's distal end is thinner in diameter than said proximal end and wherein said entangled member is appointed to be slipped behind or under said first portion so that it is contained and secured behind said first portion. 
     
     
         15 . A hair piece assembly as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said flowing hair member is formed from natural hair strands. 
     
     
         16 . A hair piece assembly as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said flowing hair member is composed of natural hair selected from the group consisting of curly, straight, waived, and a variety of hair textures. 
     
     
         17 . A hair piece assembly comprising:
 a. a first portion having first attachment means integrated therein adapted to be placed on a head attached by way of said first attachment means and further adapted to be covered with natural hair on said head;   b. said first portion being constructed as a band having a top wall, bottom wall and side walls and a front face and back face;   c. a second portion having an entangled member having a random entangled construction with a distal end and a proximal end, said distal end terminating at an edge and said proximal end gradually terminating said entangled construction to yield a free flowing member with hairs extending therefrom;   d. said first portion and said second portion being separate portions and said braided member of said second portion being adapted to be inserted between said first portion and said head and said flowing hair member extends therefrom   wherein said first portion and said second portion are separate portions and said entangled member of said second portion is adapted to be secured with said first portion on said head and said flowing hair member being adapted to extend therefrom.   
     
     
         18 . A hair piece assembly as recited by  claim 17 , wherein said cone shaped member is constructed as an entangled hair member. 
     
     
         19 . A hair piece assembly as recited by  claim 17 , wherein said cone shaped member is constructed as a braided hair member. 
     
     
         20 . A method of using a hair piece assembly, comprising the steps of:
 a. selecting said hair piece assembly based on a hair color, texture and length, said hair piece assembly comprising:
 i. a first portion having first attachment means integrated therein adapted to be placed on a head attached by way of said first attachment means and further adapted to be covered with natural hair on said head; 
 ii. said first portion being constructed as a band having a top wall, bottom wall, side walls and a front face and back face; 
 iii. a second portion adapted to be received by said first portion when said first portion is placed on said head, said second portion having an entangled member having a random entangled construction with a distal end and a proximal end, said distal end terminating at an edge and said proximal end gradually terminating said entangled construction to yield a free flowing member with hairs extending therefrom;
