Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] This invention is related to a hair attaching method, in
particular to a hair attaching method by which applying a joint
sheath to attach natural or artificial hair to a client's hair
tightly and naturally, hence makes the client's hair more stylish
and increases the hair density of the thin hair client.
RELATED ART OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Since ancient time, women appreciate enjoy dressing up more
than men; they pay more attention to dressing, clothing, fittings,
and hairstyle. However, fashion trend fleets quickly. In such a
changing time, hairstyle should alter with the occasions. In
today's' world where people's overall image is vital, hairstyle
takes an important role.
[0003] However, the growth speed of hair differs from person to
person, the length of hair can't be lengthened or shortened
immediately, and the hair color and hairstyle can't be altered at
all times. A technique called "attaching hair" is invented, which
is aimed to attach hair strands of different colors and lengths to
original hair directly or indirectly to make hair more variable and
stylish.
[0004] In addition, attaching hair can also solve the trouble of
thin hair among middle-age men, freeing them from pain and high
expense of planting hair. The "attaching hair" method has evolved
for a fairly long time and can mainly be divided into fixed type
and removable type; however, in the past, the "attaching hair"
method usually utilized thermosol glue to attach hair, and the
quality of hair to be attached is different from that of original
hair. If binding untreated hair or artificial hair directly to
original hair, it will be coarse and difficult to wash, treat, and
shape. Moreover, it will bring discomfort to the client because the
attached hair is easy to entangle and difficult to comb.
[0005] As stated above, it is urgent task to attach hair for people
conveniently while keep them feel comfort.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVNETION
[0006] In consideration of above issue, the present invention
provides a hair attaching method, in order to overcome the
shortcomings of existing hair attaching method. This invention
utilizes a kind of joint sheathes that are heat shrinkable tubes
made of polyolefin. The joint sheathes will shrink under heat and
thus attach the hair strands to the client's original hair firmly.
In addition, the attached hair is easy to be treated (e.g., dye,
perm, or cut) and can be shaped freely. Moreover, it can add hair
to people with sparse hair to increase their confidence.
[0007] As for comfort, the client almost can't sense existence of
the joint sheathes described the invention, and he/she can comb
hair smoothly, just like original hair. Therefore the invention
brings convenience, immediacy, and diversity of hair, and
protection to the client's original hair from any chemical or
physical injury.
[0008] The present invention comprises at least the following
steps: coil up and fix the hair at top according to head form of
the client; choose a strand of hair from the original hair of the
client and insert it in the joint sheath; push the joint sheath
toward hairy root of the hair strand to appropriate position, and
then insert one end of the hair trend to be attached into the joint
strand; heat the joint sheath with a heater to attach the hair
strand to the original hair strand with the joint sheath and keep
the shape; finally, determine whether to attach another hair strand
according to the client's hair condition.

second embodiment implemented according to the hair attaching
method of the invention. They are described as follows:
[0042] In FIG. 3A, the client 10 coils up hair at top, and the
barber fixes the hair 11 coiled up, choose any strand from it and
inserts the free end 12 of the hair strand into the joint sheath
50, and then push the joint sheath 50 towards hairy root slowly. As
shown in FIG. 3B, the barber then inserts one end of the hair
strand 20 to be attached into the joint sheath 50.
[0043] In FIG. 3C, the barber prepares to heat the joint sheath
with the heater 40; as shown in FIG. 3D, wherein the heater 40 is
heating the joint sheath 50 to couple the original hair strand of
the client, the hair strand 20 to be attached, and the joint sheath
50 with each other tightly and keep the shape, finally the effect
in FIG. 3E is achieved.
[0044] Please see FIG. 3F, wherein the barber performs according to
above steps repeatedly to finished hair-attaching work for the
client 10. In FIG. 3G, the hair 11 coiled up is released down to
cover the joints. And the embodiment 2 is implemented.

joint sheath 50 through heating the joint sheath 50 (step 110); a
hair strand is chosen from the client's hair that is not fixed and
insert the free end 12 of the hair strand into the joint sheath 50
and on the original hair strand (step 120); next, the joint sheath
50 is heated with a heater to make the hair strand to be attached
couple to the joint sheath 50 tightly and kept there (step 130);
finally, determine whether to attach another hair strand according
to the client's hair condition (step 140); if further hair
attaching is not necessary, the process is terminated and thus the
first embodiment is implemented; otherwise return to step 120 and
