Hair extension

Abstract

A hair extension comprising a hair tuft having a proximal end secured together by a bonding base, the bonding base having apertures extending therethrough. A cover sheet has surface is releasably secured to a tacky surface wherein removal of the cover sheet allows securement of the tuft of hair to an individual's hair or scalp. A stitch line maintains a lateral length of the hair tuft allowing ease of bonding base replacement. The apertures allow breathability of the bonding base, wherein air inhibits moisture buildup from occurring between the base and the cover section.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hair extension comprising:
 a tuft of hair formed from a plurality of individual hair strands having a proximal end and a distal end;   a monofilament stitch line juxtapositioned to said proximal end of said tuft, said stitch line constructed and arranged to maintain a lateral length of the tuft by inhibiting stretching and separating;   a bonding base formed of non-allergenic flexible tape having a first side surface secured to said proximal end of said tuft with adhesive, and a second side surface having a tacky adhesive;   at least two air passage apertures located along the length of said bonding base;   a cover sheet releasably secured to said second side surface, said cover sheet including a centrally disposed cut line for ease of cover sheet removal.   whereby removal of said cover sheet exposes said second side surface of said bonding base, allowing securement of said tuft of hair to an individual's scalp or hair wherein said air passage apertures inhibit moisture buildup between the individual's scalp and said bonding base.   
     
     
         2 . The hair extension according to  claim 1  wherein said cover sheet is treated with a release powder to provide a first coefficient of release for said tacky side surface at a rate less than a second coefficient of release for said first side surface, wherein said cover sheet is removable without releasing said first side surface from the tuft of hair. 
     
     
         3 . The hair extension according to  claim 1  wherein said air passage apertures are about 3 mm in diameter. 
     
     
         4 . The hair extension according to  claim 1  wherein said bonding base is about 0.25 inch tall by 1.50 inches long with said apertures equally spaced apart thereon. 
     
     
         5 . The hair extension according to  claim 1  wherein said bonding base is about 0.25 inch tall by 3 inches long with said apertures equally spaced apart thereon. 
     
     
         6 . The hair extension according to  claim 1  wherein said cover sheet includes a peel edge centrally positioned along the length of the bonding base, wherein said peel edge facilitates cover sheet removal from said bonding base from a central position. 
     
     
         7 . The hair extension according to  claim 1  wherein said stitched line is about a 5 lb. test. 
     
     
         8 . The hair extension according to  claim 1  wherein bonding base is releasably secured to said hair tuft wherein said hair tuft can be reused by bonding base substitution. 
     
     
         9 . The hair extension according to  claim 1  wherein said bonding base includes folding ends tabs wherein said end tabs can be wrapped around hair.
