         2 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a second linking material and a second additional polymer material strip, wherein said second linking material is configured to be operable for engaging said weft implement to said second additional polymer material strip, said second additional polymer material strip having at least inserted hair strands. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , in which said plurality of hole sections comprises at least six hole sections configured to be operable for sewing to said back side section. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a cap structure being joined to said polymer material strip for forming a wig, a hairpiece, or a fall. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , in which said at least one pressure sensitive clip is configured to engage to said back side section of said weft implement with a rivet or eyelet. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , in which said rivet or eyelet comprises a jewel in a proximate center of a head of said rivet or eyelet. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 5 , in which said plurality of teeth is configured to open by applying pressure to a side segment of said hair clip implement. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , in which said back side further comprises an indicia surface section, wherein said indicia surface section is configured to be operable for including indicia that showcase an inscribed label or logo. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , in which said polymer material strip further comprises a circular or rectangular shape, wherein said polymer material is configured to adhere to said inserted or injected hair strands without adhesive. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 2 , in which said linking material comprises at least one of, a stretch lace, elastic mesh, silk, cotton, polyester and nylon. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 2 , in which said linking material is further configured to engage said second additional polymer material strip in an overlapping configuration. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , in which said at least one hair clip comprises at least one of, a metal, a plastic, a silicone, a polymer, and a nylon that is configured to be operable for removably attaching to a user's normal hair near roots of the user's normal hair. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 3 , in which said at least one hair clip implement further comprises at least six rivets or eyelets, wherein each of said six rivets or eyelets is configured to insert through each of said six hole sections. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , in which said plurality of hair strands comprise at least one of a synthetic material and natural hair. 
     
     
         15 . An apparatus comprising of:
