Beaded Row Hanger for Hair Weft

Abstract

The beaded row (BR) hanger may either be separate or part of a kit. The kit has the configured BR hanger, tying thread and a threader tool or tools. The BR hanger permits a stylist to attach a hair weft extension onto a customer's head via beads earlier attached to the head. The BR hanger includes small beads pre-strung on a bead cord. The bead central passage is sized to receive via threading a corresponding hair tuft, the threader tool operative loop or needle end and the tying thread. First, hair tufts are threaded through the passage with the tool, then the bead is crimped closed and the stylist then attaches the next lateral bead on the BR hanger. Once all the hanger beads are attached, the primary first bead is opened and a threading tool or a needle, carrying the tying thread, threads the tying thread through the bead passage and sews the hair weft on the bead. The weft is then connected and sewn close to the bead. The bead is then crimped closed. The stylists then repeats the process on the next lateral bead.

1 . A beaded row hanger for a hair weft extension adapted to be threadably attached to a user's head via a plurality of hair tufts and a tying thread comprising:
 a plurality of small beads pre-strung on a bead cord;   wherein a first and a last pre-strung bead is tied off on said bead cord and said plurality of pre-strung beads are looped onto and retained on said bead cord, each bead on said pre-strung bead cord spaced apart on said bead cord a predetermined distance;   each pre-strung bead having a central passage sized to receive via threading a corresponding hair tuft, of said plurality of hair tufts, and further sized to receive via threading said tying thread;   each pre-strung bead deformable to multiple crimped conditions and multiple open passage conditions;   in said crimped condition, said central passage is collapsed about said corresponding hair tuft and said tying thread;   in a first open condition, said central passage permits threading of said corresponding hair tuft therethrough; and   in a second open condition while retaining said corresponding hair tuft therein, said central passage permits threading of said tying thread therethrough and sewn attachment of said hair weft thereto.   
     
     
         2 . The beaded row hanger as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said central passage has an inside passageway measurement of between 1 and 10 mm. 
     
     
         3 . The beaded row hanger as claimed in  claim 1  wherein each small bead has a longitudinal dimension of between 2 and 12 mm, said longitudinal dimension being coplanar with said axial centerline of said central passage. 
     
     
         4 . The beaded row hanger as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said multiple crimped conditions includes a first crimped condition wherein said bead is collapsed solely about said corresponding hair tuft and a second crimped condition wherein said bead is collapsed solely about said corresponding hair tuft and said tying thread. 
     
     
         5 . A kit for use in attaching a hair weft extension to head hair via a plurality of hair tufts, the kit comprising:
 a tying thread;   a threader having a user grip terminating in a loop or eye;   a bead hanger having a plurality of small beads pre-strung on a bead cord, each pre-strung bead having a central passage sized to concurrently receive (a) a corresponding hair tuft of said plurality of hair tufts, (b) said tying thread and (c) loop or eye;   wherein a first and a last pre-strung bead is tied off on said bead cord and said plurality of pre-strung beads are looped onto and retained on said bead cord, each bead on said pre-strung bead cord spaced apart on said bead cord a predetermined distance;   each pre-strung bead deformable to multiple crimped conditions and multiple open passage conditions;   in said crimped condition, said central passage is collapsed about said corresponding hair tuft and said tying thread;   in a first open condition, said central passage is adapted to permit threading of said corresponding hair tuft therethrough with said loop or eye while said loop or eye being adapted to capture said corresponding hair tuft therein and thereafter adapted to thread said corresponding hair tuft through said central passage; and   in a second open condition, said central passage is adapted to permit threading of said tying thread with said loop or eye while said corresponding hair tuft is captured in said central passage, said loop or eye being adapted to capture said tying thread therein and thereafter adapted to thread said tying thread and loop or eye through said central passage while said corresponding hair tuft is captured in said central passage and adapted to sew said hair weft to said bead.   
     
     
         6 . A kit for use in attaching a hair weft as claimed in  claim 5  wherein said threader has a wire loop extending from said user grip. 
     
     
         7 . A kit for use in attaching a hair weft as claimed in  claim 6  including a needle, said needle having said eye and said user grip, said eye adapted to capture said tying thread therein. 
     
     
         8 . A kit for use in attaching a hair weft as claimed in  claim 5  wherein said threader includes a first and a second threading tool, said first threading tool has a handle grip as said user grip which terminates in a stiff wire loop extending from said handle grip; and said second threader tool is a needle with an eye, said eye adapted to capture said tying thread therein. 
     
     
         9 . A kit for use in attaching a hair weft as claimed in  claim 5  wherein said central passage has an inside passageway measurement of between 1 and 10 mm. 
     
     
         10 . A kit for use in attaching a hair weft as claimed in  claim 5  wherein each small bead has a longitudinal dimension of between 2 and 12 mm, said longitudinal dimension being coplanar with said axial centerline of said central passage. 
     
     
         11 . A kit for use in attaching a hair weft as claimed in  claim 5  wherein said multiple crimped conditions includes a first crimped condition wherein said bead is collapsed solely about said corresponding hair tuft and a second crimped condition wherein said bead is collapsed solely about said corresponding hair tuft and said tying thread. 
     
     
         12 . A kit for use in attaching a hair weft as claimed in  claim 11  including a plier adapted to crimp and open said bead.
