Hair Extension Assemblies and Methods

Abstract

Disclosed herein are assemblies and methods for extending and/or thickening hair. A weft of hair or hair-like strands are coupled together at a first end at an elongate connection strip. The connection strip is made from a solid material and has an elongate shape. A length of the elongate shape of the connection strip is substantially greater than a width and a thickness of the connection strip. The length of the connection strip defines a width of the weft of hair. A set of magnets is coupled to the connection strip. A second connection strip is coupled to a second set of magnets. The second connection strip corresponds to the first connection strip and the second set of magnets are positioned to magnetically couple to the first set of magnets to engage, grip, pinch, squeeze, hold, or otherwise secure a portion of naturally growing hair of a user to secure the assembly to the hair of the user.

1 . An assembly for extending and/or thickening hair, comprising:
 a connection strip made from one or more of a flexible or rigid solid material, a highly viscous liquid material, and/or a composition of materials;   a weft of hair or hair-like strands coupled together at a first end at the connection strip; and   a set of magnets coupled to the connection strip.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a second connection strip made from a flexible or rigid solid material; and   a second set of magnets coupled to the second connection strip,   wherein the second connection strip corresponds to the first connection strip and the second set of magnets are positioned to magnetically couple to the first set of magnets to engage, grip, pinch, squeeze, hold, or otherwise secure a portion of naturally growing hair of a user to secure the assembly to the hair of the user.   
     
     
         3 . The assembly of  claim 2 , further comprising a second weft of hair or hair-like strands coupled together at a first end at the second connection strip. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the magnets of the set of magnets are nickel plated neodymium magnets. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the connection strip is coupled to the weft of hair or hair-like strands via a high strength bonding agent. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the set of magnets is coupled to the connection strip via a high strength bonding agent. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the magnets of the second set of magnets are nickel plated neodymium magnets. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the connection strip is coupled to the weft of hair or hair-like strands via a high strength bonding agent. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the set of magnets is coupled to the connection strip via a high strength bonding agent. 
     
     
         10 . A method for applying an assembly for extending and/or thickening hair, comprising:
 obtaining a hair extension assembly comprising:
 a first connection strip made from a solid material; 
 a weft of hair or hair-like strands coupled together at the first connection strip; and 
 a first set of magnets coupled to the first connection strip; 
 a second connection strip made from a solid material; 
 a second set of magnets coupled to the second connection strip, 
   wherein the second connection strip corresponds to the first connection strip and the second set of magnets are positioned to magnetically couple to the first set of magnets to engage, grip, pinch, squeeze, hold, or otherwise secure a portion of naturally growing hair of a user to secure the assembly to the hair of the user;   separating the second set of magnets from the first set of magnets; and   magnetically coupling the first set of magnets of the assembly to a second set of magnets of the assembly, wherein naturally growing hair is positioned in between the first and second sets of magnets of the assembly.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the second connection strip is coupled to a second weft of hair or hair-like strands. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the second set of magnets is to couple to a portion of the first connection strip.
