Abstract:
1. An improved method for removing a sewn in hair weave comprising the steps of: providing a sewn in hair weave with the artificial hair elevated in a position to observe the point at which a weft is sewn into a hair braid; providing a tool with a fork peripheral with at least two substantially parallel arms extending substantially perpendicular from a base removably attached to a first end of the said tool's shaft and a hook peripheral removably attached to a second end of the said tool's shaft; sliding the said arms of said fork in between a first threaded knot that anchors a weft at a first end where said base and said arms each have a sharpened inner surface; pushing the said tool into the said first threaded knot to cut the first threaded knot with the said sharpened inner surface of the said base; sliding the said arms of said fork in between a second threaded knot that anchors a weft at a second end; pushing the said tool into the said second threaded knot to cut the said second threaded knot with the said sharpened inner surface of the said base; hooking the said hook peripheral under the threaded string connecting the weft to a braid and pulling said tool away from the braid in the direction of the natural hair growth, thereby cutting the string; hooking the said hook peripheral under each successive string connecting the weft to a braid and pulling said tool away from the braid in the direction of the natural hair growth, thereby cutting the remaining points of attachment between the braid and the weft; removing the weft and repeating the process for each successive weft; substituting a removable peripheral on the said tool with a scalp scratching peripheral, comprising an elongated pole with a tapered point at the end opposite the said tool's shaft; and sliding the said scalp scratching peripheral's elongated pole into a hair braid and pulling the said tool in the direction of the natural hair growth so as to release the natural hair from its braid.
