The present invention relates to an extension hair having a hair guiding loop which is used to style thinning or short hair long. More particularly, the present invention relates to an extension hair having a hair guiding loop which allows a user's hair to be inserted into a hair connecting tube of artificial hair conveniently and rapidly by the hair guiding loop inserted into the hair connecting tube upon coupling the hair to the hair connecting tube of the artificial hair. ( DE-U-200 09 406 ).
Particularly, in recent years, partial wigs using original hair are acquiring a greater vogue than hairstyling or coloring, for instance, short hair is made long utilizing various kinds of partial wigs, or bridge type partial wigs of a pre-colored state are utilized.
Further, the adhesive is solidified in such a manner that a adhesive melted by a super-heat is coated, with the extension hair end and the user's hair end being overlapped each other, and then, as the adhesive starts to be hardened, a hairdresser makes a roll of the adhesive directly with fingers to form it round and solidify it.
However, in such a typical extension hair above-stated, in case of a extension hair not processed at all, a certain amount of the extension hair is taken out of a strand of hair. Thus there are a lot of hair dropping on the floor or falling here and there during use, so it is not economical. Moreover, also the number of the hairs is not constant, this makes it difficult to expect a beauty state of a high quality. Especially, in a case that the user's hair and the extension hair are connected using an adhesive injecting device, the applied amount of the adhesive is not constant, thus the adhesion size is not constant as well as the operation is so messy.
Upon coating and forming the adhesive on the end of the certain amount of the extension hair, a super-heat is directly applied to the user's hair in order to melt the hardened adhesive, so this may lead to the damage to the hair as well as the risk of burning. In addition, the melted adhesive flows down or makes the operation messy, thereby failing in attaining a simple and tidy connection.
To overcome the above-described problem, the present applicant had registered an extension hair in Korean Utility Model Registration No. 316019 , which can attain a firm fixation is attained without any aftertreatment and hardening treatment by applying an adhesive to the end of human hair or artificial hair divided into a predetermined number and inserting, attaching and fixing the applied adhesive and the end of the human hair or artificial hair into a hair connecting tube made of a moisture-resistant shrinkable tube of a predetermined length, whereby, if the outside of the hair guiding tube is heated with the end of the user's hair to be connected being inserted into the hair guiding tube, the adhesive inside is coupled to the user's hair while being melted and the hair guiding tube is firmly fixed to the user's tube while being shrunken.
Figs. 3a through 3c are cross-sectional views showing a used state of a guiding loop according to the present invention,
wherein Fig. 3a is a cross-sectional view of hair before use when inserted into the guiding loop, Fig. 3b is a cross-sectional view of the hair when inserted into the hair connecting tube of the extension hair and Fig. 3c is a cross-sectional view of the user's hair and the extension hair when connected by the hair connecting tube;
<Explanation of the Reference Numerals for the Main Parts of the Drawings>
1: hair connecting tube 2,2': supplemental hair
A known extension hair having a hair guiding loop, which is made by adhering the ends of a plurality of supplemental hairs 2 and 2' to the inner circumferential surface of a hair connecting tube 1 of a predetermined length by an adhesive 3, wherein the hair guiding loop 10 has a hanging part 11 is formed on the middle part and an inserting part 12 and a drawing-out part 13 are formed in a circular shape respectively on the upper part of and on the lower part, the hanging part 11 of the hair guiding loop 10 being located at the lower part of the hair connecting tube 1 and the inserting part, 12 being inserted in a manner to be exposed to the upper part of the hair connecting tube 1 in an flexible circular shape.
Further, the hair guiding loop 10 is provided with the circular inserting part 12 on the upper part and the hanging part 11 alone on the lower part.
In the drawings, unexplained reference numeral 20 is hair.
In a case that such extension hair having the hair guiding loop is connected to a user's hair, firstly, as shown in Fig. 3a, a predetermined number of the user's hair 20 to be connected to the extension hair is inserted into the inserting part 12 of a circular loop shape inserted in a manner to be exposed to the upper part of the hair connecting tube 1 of the extension hair.
With the user's hair 20 being hung on the inserting part 12 of the hair guiding loop 10, as shown in Fig. 3b, the hairdresser holds the drawing-out part 13 formed on the lower part of the hair guiding loop 10 and pulls the hair guiding loop 10 down to the lower part of the hair connecting tube 1. Then, the inserting part 12 on which the user's hair 20 is hung is separate to the lower part through the inside of the hair connecting tube 1 by means of the pulling force of the drawing-out part 13.
The inserting part 12 is changed in shape by an artificial force upon passing through the hair connecting tube 1 and is separated to the lower part through the inside of the hair connecting tube 1. That is, the user's hair 20 hung on the inserting part 12 is prevented from separation owing to the compression force of the hair connecting tube 1. When the hair guiding loop 10 separated to the lower part of the hair connecting tube 1 is completely separated from the hair connecting tube 1, the user's hair 20 drawn down by the inserting part 12 is inserted into the hair connecting tube 1 and overlapped with the supplemental hairs 2 and 2' of the extension hair.
On the other hand, upon connecting and fixing the user's hair 20 and the supplemental hairs 2 and 2' overlapped in the hair connecting tube 1, in case of using the hair connecting tube 1 made of an moisture resistant shrinkable tube as shown in Fig. 3c, when the outer part of the hair connecting tube 1 is heated by heat, the hair connecting tube 1 is shrunken as the adhesive 3 in the hair connecting tube 1 is melted by the heat, and the diameter of the hair connecting tube 1 is sharply decreased.
Thus, by the shrinkage phenomenon of the hair connecting tube 1, the inner space of the adhesive 3 which the user's hair 20 is inserted into becomes smaller and the user's hair 20 is fixed. At the same time, the adhesive 3 melting by heat makes the user's hair 20 and the supplemental hairs 2 and 2' mixed with and adhered to each other. When the heat source is removed, the supplemental hairs 2 and 2; and the user's hair 20 are firmly fixed by the adhesive 3 therein as the adhesive 3 is hardened.
Further, in case of using the hair connecting tube 1 made of a compression type metal tube, when a pressure is applied to the outer part of the hair connecting tube 1 by a press, the hair connecting tube 1 is compressed by the compression force. By the compression of the hair connecting tube 1, the inner space of the hair connecting tube 1 in which the user's hair 20 is inserted becomes also smaller and the user's hair 20 is fixed. At the same time, by the flexible force of the adhesive 3 inside the hair connecting tube 1 where hair is planted, the user's hair 20 and the supplemental hairs 2 and 2' becomes to have a greater compression force, thereby preventing depilation. Moreover, the hair is not directly contacted to the metal surface of the hair connecting tube 1 after compression, thereby preventing the adverse effects such as hair fracturing or cutting.
As described above, the hanging part 11 may be formed by knotting the middle part of the hair guiding loop 10. The hanging part 11 has no special operation or properties, but it is merely directed to prevent the hair guiding loop 10 from being separated from the upper part of the hair connecting tube 1.
As shown in FIG. 5, the hanging part 11 may be formed of a separate compressed member. Since the compressed member is formed with a bendable metal, the hanging part 11 is formed by compressively fixing a metal piece on the concerned position.
As shown in FIG. 6, the hanging part 11 may be formed of a separate shrinkable member. A shrinkable tube before being thermally deformed is inserted into the concerned position of the guiding loop 10 and is then supplied with heat. As the shrinkable member is shrunken and deformed, the shrinkable tube is fixed at the middle part of the guiding loop 10. Accordingly, the hanging part 11 is formed according to the thickness of the shrinkable member, thereby preventing the guiding loop 10 from being separated from the upper part of the hair connecting tube 1.
As well known in the art, the diameters or circumferences of the compressed member and the shrinkable member are larger than the inner diameter of the hair connecting tube 1. There is no limit to the type or shape of the raw materials to form the hanging part 11. If the hanging part 11 is sufficiently large to prevent the guiding loop 10 from being separated from the upper part of the hair connecting tube 1, the hanging part 11 can be formed in any shape.
