Method and Tool for Hair Extension Tape Fixing

Abstract

A hair extension tape fixing tool includes two tape pressing plates and two pivoting half bodies that hold the plates. The elastic pressing plates are rectangular and have predetermined length, width and thickness. A method of attaching extension hair to a client's hair with the extension tape fixing tool includes steps of choosing strands of client's hair; bringing the tape patch of extension hair near the chosen strands of client's hair; positioning the strands of client's hair uniformly on the tape patch; and pressing the strands of client's hair on an adhesive surface of the tape patch with the hair extension tape fixing tool.

1 . A hair extension tape fixing tool comprising:
 a) a first tape pressing plate;   b) a second tape pressing plate facing the first tape pressing plate;   c) a first half body on which the first tape pressing plate is fixed; and   d) a second half body on which the second tape pressing plate is fixed;   wherein the first half body and the second half body are pivoted with each other between a closed state in which the first tape pressing plate overlaps with the second tape pressing plate, and an open state in which the first tape pressing plate is spaced from the second tape pressing plate.   
     
     
         2 . The hair extension tape fixing tool of  claim 1 , wherein each of the first tape pressing plate and the second tape pressing plate is rectangular and has predetermined length, width and thickness. 
     
     
         3 . The hair extension tape fixing tool of  claim 2 , wherein the predetermined length is in a range from about 1.5 inch to about 2.5 inch. 
     
     
         4 . The hair extension tape fixing tool of  claim 3 , wherein the predetermined width is in a range from about 9/32 inch to about 9/16 inch. 
     
     
         5 . The hair extension tape fixing tool of  claim 4 , wherein the predetermined thickness is in a range from about 1/32 inch to about ⅛ inch. 
     
     
         6 . The hair extension tape fixing tool of  claim 5 , wherein each of the first half body and the second half body has a base, a handle extended from the base, and a support head that protrudes perpendicularly from the base, wherein the first tape pressing plate is attached to the support head of the first half body, and the second tape pressing plate is attached to the support head of the second half body. 
     
     
         7 . The hair extension tape fixing tool of  claim 6 , wherein each of the first tape pressing plate and the second tape pressing plate is made of elastomeric material. 
     
     
         8 . The hair extension tape fixing tool of  claim 7 , wherein each of the first half body and the second half body has a spring that keeps the extension tape fixing tool in the open state, and a plastic sheath partially surrounds the handle. 
     
     
         9 . A method of attaching extension hair to a client's hair, wherein the extension hair comprises a plurality of hair strands, and an adhesive tape patch fixed to the ends of the hair strands, steps of the method comprising:
 i) choosing strands of client's hair;   ii) bringing the tape patch of extension hair near the chosen strands of client's hair;   iii) positioning the strands of client's hair uniformly on the tape patch;   iv) pressing the strands of client's hair on an adhesive surface of the tape patch with a hair extension tape fixing tool comprising:   a) a first tape pressing plate;   b) a second tape pressing plate facing the first tape pressing plate;   c) a first half body on which the first tape pressing plate is fixed; and   d) a second half body on which the second tape pressing plate is fixed;   wherein the first half body and the second half body is pivoted with each other between a closed state in which the first tape pressing plate overlaps with the second tape pressing plate, and an open state in which the first tape pressing plate is spaced from the second tape pressing plate.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein in the step of pressing the strands of client's hair on an adhesive surface of the tape patch, the strands of client's hair and the tape patch are positioned between the first tape pressing plate and second tape pressing plate of the hair extension tape fixing tool in its open state, and then in the hair extension tape fixing tool's closed state, the first tape pressing plate presses the strands of client's hair, and the second tape pressing plate presses the tape patch of the extension hair. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein each of the first tape pressing plate and the second tape pressing plate is rectangular and has predetermined length, width and thickness. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the predetermined length is in a range from about 1.5 inch to about 2.5 inch. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the predetermined width is in a range from about 9/32 inch to about 9/16 inch. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the predetermined thickness is in a range from about 1/32 inch to about ⅛ inch. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein each of the first half body and the second half body has a base, a handle extended from the base, and a support head that protrudes perpendicularly from the base, wherein the first tape pressing plate is attached to the support head of the first half body, and the second tape pressing plate is attached to the support head of the second half body. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein each of the first tape pressing plate and the second tape pressing plate is made of elastomeric material. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein each of the first half body and the second half body has a spring that keeps the extension tape fixing tool in the open state, and a plastic sheath partially surrounds the handle.
