Device for supplementing hair comprising a plurality of strips of hair

Abstract

In a device for supplementing hair, a first plurality of first hairs has first upper end, which are oriented parallel to one another along a main direction, and embedded and anchored in a first plastics matrix, A second plurality of second hairs has second upper ends which are oriented parallel to one another along the main direction, and embedded and anchored in a second plastics matrix. The first plastics matrix and the second plastics matrix are fixed on a carrier strip having a direction of main extension transversely running to the main direction. A fastening appliance is provided for fastening the carrier strip to natural hairs of a wearer of the device. The first hairs emerging out of the first plastics matrix run along the main direction over the second plastics matrix on a side of the second plastics matrix facing away from the carrier strip.

         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein, in the main direction, the third plastics matrix is fixed on the carrier strip beside the second plastics matrix. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein the first hairs of the first plurality of hairs emerging out of the first plastics matrix and the second hairs of the second plurality of hairs emerging out of the second plastics matrix run along the main direction over the third plastics matrix on a side of the third plastics matrix facing away from the carrier strip. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first plastics matrix is comprises a matt surface or a matt cover at a side of the first plastics matrix facing away from the carrier strip. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first plastic matrix is transparent or translucent at a side of the first plastics matrix facing away from the carrier strip up to the first hairs of the first plurality of hairs. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second plastics matrices do not overlap along the main direction. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein the first, second and third plastics matrices do not overlap along the main direction. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second plastics matrices each extend over 2 to 8 mm along the main direction. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein the first and second plastics matrices each extend over 3 to 6 mm along the main direction. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein the first, second and third plastics matrices each extend over 2 to 8 mm along the main direction. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the first, second and third plastics matrices each extend over 3 to 6 mm along the main direction. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein, along the main direction, the first and second hairs each end with the respective first or second plastic matrix, in which they are anchored. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein, along the main direction, the first, second and third hairs each end with the respective first, second or third plastic matrix, in which they are anchored. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the fastening appliance, at a side of the carrier strip facing away from the first and second plastic matrices, comprises a glue layer or at least one toupee clip. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second plastics matrices each extend transversely to the main direction up to ends of the carrier strip, and wherein a length of the carrier strip between its ends is 13 to 15 cm. 
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 17 , wherein the length of the carrier strip between its ends is 5 to 10 cm.
