Hair extension and application method

Abstract

Described is a hair extension ( 1 ) comprising a lock of fake hair ( 2 ) and a supporting plate ( 3 ). The lock of hair ( 2 ) is stably connected at a relative end to at least one portion of a first face ( 4 a ) of the supporting plate ( 3 ).

1 . A hair extension comprising a lock of fake hair ( 2 ) and a supporting plate ( 3 ), wherein the lock of fake hair ( 2 ) is stably connected at a relative end to at least a portion of a first face ( 4   a ) of the supporting plate ( 3 ). 
     
     
         2 . The hair extension according to  claim 1 , wherein the supporting plate ( 3 ) has at least an end portion configured to be folded around a lock of hair ( 7 ) of a user in such a way as to securely fix the supporting plate to the lock of hair ( 7 ) of a user. 
     
     
         3 . The hair extension according to  claim 1 , wherein the supporting plate ( 3 ) has at least one fold line (A), designed to define a yielding zone for mediating the folding of the supporting plate ( 3 ) around the fold line (A). 
     
     
         4 . The hair extension according to  claim 3  wherein the supporting plate ( 3 ) has two fold lines (A) delimiting a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion having a greater extension relative to the second end portion. 
     
     
         5 . The hair extension according to  claim 1 , wherein the lock of fake hair ( 2 ) is stably connected to the supporting plate ( 3 ) by a first polymer ( 5 ) applied on at least a portion of the first face ( 4   a ) of the supporting plate ( 3 ). 
     
     
         6 . The hair extension according to  claim 1 , wherein the supporting plate ( 3 ) has a second polymer ( 6 ) applied on a second face ( 4   b ) of the supporting plate ( 3 ), opposite the first face ( 4   a ), and designed to increase the friction force acting between the second face ( 4   b ) and the lock of hair ( 7 ) of a user. 
     
     
         7 . The hair extension according to  claim 5 , wherein the first and second polymers ( 5 ,  6 ) are two different polymers. 
     
     
         8 . The hair extension according to  claim 1 , wherein the supporting plate ( 3 ) is made of a metallic material, preferably copper. 
     
     
         9 . A kit for hair extensions comprising a plurality of hair extensions ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the supporting plate ( 3 ) of each hair extension of the plurality of hair extensions ( 1 ) is structurally connected to at least another supporting plate ( 3 ) forming a continuity defining a supporting strip ( 11 ). 
     
     
         10 . The kit for hair extension according to  claim 9 , wherein the supporting strip ( 11 ) has cutting lines (B) designed to mediate the separation of a hair extension ( 1 ) from the hair extension kit ( 10 ). 
     
     
         11 . A method for applying hair extensions ( 1 ) comprising the steps of:
 preparing at least one hair extension ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 ;   moving the second face ( 4   b ) of the supporting plate ( 3 ) of the hair extension ( 1 ) next to a lock of hair ( 7 ) of a user;   folding at least one portion of the supporting plate ( 3 ) about the lock of hair ( 7 ) of the user fixing them mutually in a stable fashion.   
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 11 , wherein the step of preparing at least one hair extension ( 1 ) comprises the steps of:
 preparing a kit ( 10 ) for hair extensions, said kit ( 10 ) comprising a plurality of said hair extensions ( 1 ), characterised in that the supporting plate ( 3 ) of each hair extension of the plurality of hair extensions ( 1 ) is structurally connected to at least another supporting plate ( 3 ) forming a continuity defining a supporting strip ( 11 );   separating at least one hair extension ( 1 ) from the kit ( 10 ) for hair extensions.
