Method for attaching hair extensions

Abstract

A method of attaching hair extensions includes sectioning, beading, securing, and stitching hair extensions into a client's hair. Sectioning allows a hairdresser to properly place the hair extension, which creates beads that are unseen. The beads may be placed so as to allow a flexible groove to place the wefts. Securing the wefts includes a pattern of stitching that places a stitch at a side, middle, opposite side, and between the beads. This stitching pattern promotes secure wefts as well as prevents damage to scalp and hair.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of attaching hair extensions comprising:
 isolating a dropout section of a client's natural hair by creating a top parting line above the dropout section and a bottom parting line below the dropout section;   subdividing the dropout section into a plurality of bead dropout sections by measuring individual bead dropout sections of the client's natural hair and securing a bead on each of the individual dropout sections; and   using a stitching pattern to secure a bottom weft and a top weft to the dropout section such that the bottom weft is disposed proximate the bottom parting line and the top weft is disposed proximate the top parting line, thereby sandwiching the dropout section of the client's natural hair between the bottom weft and the top weft, the stitching pattern comprising:
 placing a first side bead stitch on a first side of the bead of a first bead dropout section of the plurality of bead dropout sections, 
 placing a second side bead stitch on an opposite side of the bead of the first bead dropout section from the first side bead stitch, 
 placing a first weft stitch between the first bead dropout section and a second bead dropout section of the plurality of bead dropout sections, 
 placing a third side bead stitch on a first side of the bead of the second bead dropout section, and 
 placing a fourth side bead stitch on an opposite side of the bead of the second bead dropout section from the third side bead stitch. 
   
     
     
         2 . The method of attaching hair extensions of  claim 1 , wherein the step of isolating a dropout section of the client's natural hair by creating a bottom parting line below the dropout section further comprises creating the bottom parting line in a horseshoe pattern. 
     
     
         3 . The method of attaching hair extensions of  claim 1 , wherein the step of isolating a dropout section of the client's natural hair by creating a top parting line above the dropout section further comprises creating the top parting line in a horseshoe pattern. 
     
     
         4 . The method of attaching hair extensions of  claim 1 , wherein the step of securing a bead on each of the bead dropout sections further comprises placing the beads away from a scalp of the client to create a space between an uppermost edge of the bead and the client's scalp. 
     
     
         5 . The method of attaching hair extensions of  claim 4 , wherein the space between an uppermost edge of the bead and the client's scalp receives the bottom weft. 
     
     
         6 . The method of attaching hair extensions of  claim 5 , wherein a top portion of the bottom weft is positioned between the bead and the scalp when the drop out sections are let down. 
     
     
         7 . The method of attaching hair extensions of  claim 1 , wherein the stitching pattern further comprises placing a reinforcement stitch adjacent to the first side bead stitch on the first side of the bead of the first bead dropout section. 
     
     
         8 . The method of attaching hair extensions of  claim 1 , wherein the stitching pattern further comprises:
 placing a second weft stitch between the second bead dropout section and a third bead dropout section of the plurality of bead dropout sections;   placing a fifth side bead stitch on a first side of the bead of the third bead dropout section; and   placing a sixth side bead stitch on an opposite side of the bead of the third bead dropout section from the fifth side bead stitch.   
     
     
         9 . The method of attaching hair extensions of  claim 8 , wherein the stitching pattern further comprises placing a second reinforcement stitch adjacent to the sixth side bead stitch on the opposite side of the bead of the third bead dropout section. 
     
     
         10 . The method of attaching hair extensions of  claim 1 , wherein each stitch is created by inserting a hook behind the bottom weft and the top weft and bringing the hook and a thread through a loop created by the thread. 
     
     
         11 . The method of attaching hair extensions of  claim 10 , wherein the hook comprises a needle. 
     
     
         12 . The method of attaching hair extensions of  claim 1 , wherein each stitch is formed using a single thread. 
     
     
         13 . The method of attaching hair extensions of  claim 1 , wherein each stitch is created by bringing a thread through a loop created by the thread. 
     
     
         14 . The method of attaching hair extensions of  claim 1 , wherein each stitch passes behind the top weft and the bottom weft. 
     
     
         15 . A method of attaching hair extensions comprising:
 determining a location to section a client's natural hair;   isolating a dropout section of the client's natural hair by creating a bottom parting line below the dropout section and a top parting line above the dropout section;   subdividing the dropout section into a plurality of bead dropout sections and securing a bead on each of the individual bead dropout sections by placing the beads away from a scalp of the client to create a space between an uppermost edge of the bead and the user's scalp; and   using a stitching pattern to secure a bottom weft and a top weft to the dropout section such that the bottom weft is disposed in the space between the uppermost edges of the beads and the scalp proximate the bottom parting line and the top weft is disposed in the space between the upper most edges of the beads and the scalp proximate the top parting line, thereby sandwiching the dropout section of the client's natural hair between the bottom weft and the top weft, the stitching pattern comprising:
 placing a first side bead stitch on a first side of the bead of a first bead dropout section of the plurality of dropout sections, 
 placing a second side bead stich on an opposite side of the bead of the first bead dropout section from the first side bead stitch, and 
 placing a first weft stitch between the first bead dropout section and a second bead dropout section of the plurality of bead dropout sections. 
   
     
     
         16 . The method of attaching hair extensions of  claim 15 , wherein the stitching pattern further comprises:

         17 . The method of attaching hair extensions of  claim 15 , wherein each stitch passes behind the top weft and the bottom weft. 
     
     
         18 . The method of attaching hair extensions of  claim 17 , wherein each stitch is created by bringing a thread through a loop created by the thread. 
     
     
         19 .

         20 . A method of attaching hair extensions comprising:
 determining a location to section a client's natural hair;   isolating a dropout section of the client's natural hair by creating a top parting line above the dropout section and a bottom parting line below the dropout section;   subdividing the dropout section into a plurality of bead dropout sections of the client's natural hair and securing a bead on each of the individual bead dropout sections by placing the beads away from a scalp of the client to create a space between an uppermost edge of the bead and the client's scalp; and   using a stitching pattern to secure a bottom weft and a top weft to the dropout section such that the bottom weft is disposed in the space between the uppermost edge of each bead and the scalp proximate the bottom parting line and the top weft is disposed in the space between the uppermost edge of each bead and the scalp proximate the top parting line, thereby sandwiching the client's natural hair between the bottom weft and the top weft, the stitching pattern comprising:
