Abstract:
1. A method of applying cosmetic hair to a bald spot area exposing the skin of the scalp of a user, comprising: providing small incremental carrier strips or patches of cosmetic hair carried on a transfer medium, each said small strip or patch being formed as a shaped unit piece of base netting or mesh holding a plurality of hairs on an upwardly facing side thereof, and a correspondingly shaped base layer of biomimetic microstructure adhesive (BMA) having tiny synthetic seta as an adhesive medium on a downwardly facing side thereof for adhesion to human skin on the scalp in the bald spot area of the user, wherein each shaped unit piece of base netting is dimensioned to be slightly larger than the BMA layer so as to leave a slight overhanging part extending beyond the BMA layer to facilitate removal of each shaped unit piece; applying one or more of said small incremental carrier strips or patches of cosmetic hair one at a time with the base layer of BMA adhesive medium placed in contact with the skin in the bald spot of the user so that the carrier strip or patch adheres thereto, and continuing to apply said incremental carrier strips or patches as needed to cover the exposed skin in the bald spot area; and removing small incremental carrier strips or patches of cosmetic hair when they are no longer needed or desired to be kept on the scalp of the user by releasing the BMA adhesive medium from the skin using a hooking tool to grasp and peel back the overhanging part extending beyond the BMA layer of each shaped unit piece from the skin of the user's scalp.
