Hair extensions

Abstract

A Set for installing hair extensions includes a plurality of connecting elements and at least one extension element. Each of the plurality of connecting elements includes a tubular element provided on an inner side with an anti-slip layer and provided on an outer side with a first magnet. The connecting elements can be connected to respective locks of hair of a person by positioning the tubular element around the locks of hair. The extension element includes a strip to which proximal ends of the hair extensions are connected. The strip further includes a plurality of second magnets which are compatible with the first magnets of the connecting elements so that the extension elements can be connected via the magnets to the locks of hair of the person.

1 . A set for installing hair extensions, comprising:
 a plurality of connecting elements and at least one extension element,   wherein each of the plurality of connecting elements comprises a tubular element provided on an inner side with an anti-slip layer and provided on an outer side with a first magnet,   wherein the connecting elements are connectable to respective locks of hair of a person by positioning the tubular element around the locks of hair,   wherein the extension element comprises a base element to which proximal ends of the hair extensions are connected, and   wherein the base element further comprises a plurality of second magnets which are compatible with the first magnets of the connecting elements so that the extension elements can be connected via the first and second magnets to the locks of hair of the person.   
     
     
         2 . The set according to  claim 1 , wherein each tubular element is plastically deformable so that it can be pinched shut when the tubular element has been positioned relative to the lock of hair of the person to connect the tubular element to the lock of hair. 
     
     
         3 . The set according to  claim 1 , wherein the anti-slip layer is formed by a silicone sleeve placed in the tubular element. 
     
     
         4 . The set according to  claim 1 , wherein each tubular element has a flat segment on the outer side and wherein the first magnet is glued fixedly against the flat segment. 
     
     
         5 . The set according to  claim 1 , further comprising an accessory with a base and a carrier extending from the base, wherein the carrier extends through the tubular elements of the plurality of connecting elements and wherein at a distal end the carrier is engageable with at least one lock of hair of the person. 
     
     
         6 . The set according to  claim 1 , wherein each first magnet has a thickness smaller than 3 mm. 
     
     
         7 . The set according to  claim 1 , wherein the second magnets are connected to the base element in that each of the second magnets is glued to a further tubular element, said further tubular element being provided on an inner side with an anti-slip layer, wherein each further tubular element is clamped around a respective hair extension lock of the hair extensions. 
     
     
         8 . The set according to  claim 7 , wherein the base element is formed as a strip and wherein the second magnets are connected to the strip with a substantially constant predetermined intermediate distance between successive magnets. 
     
     
         9 . The set according to  claim 1 , wherein each second magnet has a thickness smaller than 3 mm. 
     
     
         10 . The set according to  claim 2 , further comprising a pair of pliers for pinching shut the tubular elements. 
     
     
         11 . A method for installing extensions in hair of a person, comprising:
 attaching a plurality of connecting elements to respective locks of hair from the hair of the person by positioning tubular elements of the connecting elements around the locks of hair, wherein the tubular elements are provided on an inner side with an anti-slip layer and are provided on an outer side with a first magnet;   connecting at least one extension element, wherein the extension element comprises a base element to which proximal ends of the hair extensions are connected and wherein the base element further comprises a plurality of second magnets compatible with the first magnets of the connecting elements, to the connecting elements by snap-fixing the second magnets onto the first magnets.   
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 11 , wherein attaching of the plurality of connecting elements comprises, in each case, pinching shut a tubular element when it has been positioned relative to the lock of hair of the person to connect the tubular element to the lock of hair. 
     
     
         13 . The set according to  claim 1 , wherein each first magnet has a thickness smaller than 2.5 mm. 
     
     
         14 . The set according to  claim 1 , wherein each second magnet has a thickness smaller than 2.5 mm.
