Hair extension device and related methods of manufacture

1. A hair extension device manufactured by a process comprising:

providing at least two strips of polyurethane, a plurality of hair with opposing ends, at least one string and plastic beads;

sewing a first end of said plurality of hair;

placing said sewn end of said plurality of hair over a first strip of polyurethane;

placing a second strip of polyurethane over said sewn end of said plurality of hair and said first strip;

heat sealing said sewn end of said plurality of hair onto said first and second strips to form a panel, said panel having opposing ends;

punching an aperture on each of said opposing ends of said panel;

looping and securing said string to said plastic beads; and

inserting said string into said apertures on said panel and securing said string to said panel with sewn hair using said beads to thereby form a hair extension device, said string forming a single loop and being adapted to fit about the crown of a wearer's head and be hidden in the wearer's own hair.

2. The process of claim 1 wherein said second end of said plurality of hair is freely moving and unattached to one another.

3. The process of claim 1 wherein said plurality of hair is blended together, using multiple colors to achieve a natural blend of tones prior to being sewn.

4. The process of claim 1 wherein said plurality of hair is cut to a desired length prior to being sewn.

5. The process of claim 1 wherein said strips are heat sealed using a heat pressing machine.

6. The process of claim 1 wherein said panel is cut to a desired length prior to punching an aperture on said opposing ends.

7. The process of claim 1 wherein said string is an elastic monofilament.

8. The process of claim 1 further comprising making multiple pressed panels to create layers of hair.

9. A hair extension device comprising:

a first strip of polyurethane having a first surface;

a plurality of hair having opposing ends, said first ends being sewn together and attached to said first surface of said first strip, said second ends being freely movable;

a second strip of polyurethane placed over said first end of said plurality of hair and over said first strip and then heat sealed to form a panel;

said panel having a first end and an opposing second end with a first aperture punched through said first end and a second aperture punched through said second end; and

an elastic monofilament string inserted through and secured to each of said first and second apertures on said panel wherein said string forms a single loop that is adapted to fit about the crown of a wearer's head and be hidden by the wearer's own hair.

10. The device of claim 9 wherein said plurality of hair is blended together, using multiple colors to achieve a natural blend of tones prior to being sewn.

11. The device of claim 9 wherein said plurality of hair is cut to a desired length prior to being sewn.

12. The device of claim 9 wherein said strips are heat sealed using a heat pressing machine.

13. A method of manufacturing a hair extension device, said method comprising:

providing a plurality of strands of hair aligned with one another to form opposing ends, and at least one string;

placing a first end of said plurality of hair over a first strip of polyurethane;

placing a second strip of polyurethane over said first end of said plurality of hair and said first strip;

heat sealing said first end of said plurality of hair onto said first and second strips to form a panel, said panel having opposing ends;

punching an aperture on each of said opposing ends of said panel;

inserting into and securing said string to said apertures on said panel to thereby form a hair extension device, said string forming a single loop and being adapted to fit about the crown of a wearer's head and be hidden in the wearer's own hair.

14. The method of claim 13 wherein said plurality of hair is blended together, using multiple colors to achieve a natural blend of tones prior to being heat sealed onto said panel.

15. The method of claim 13 wherein said plurality of hair is cut to a desired length prior to being heat sealed onto said panel.

16. The method of claim 13 wherein said strips are heat sealed using a heat pressing machine.

17. The method of claim 13 wherein said panel is cut to a desired length prior to punching an aperture on said opposing ends.

18. The method of claim 13 wherein said string is an elastic monofilament.

19. The method of claim 13 further comprising making multiple pressed panels to create layers of hair.

20. The method of claim 13 further comprising the step of using a plastic bead to secure said string to said panel.
