Various embodiments of wefted hair extensions 132 using individual hair strands 108 intertwined with each other to form a wefted product with a cornrow braid 120 base or edge 124, one of the two sides 123 of the cornrow braid 120 having at least one groove housing a plurality of individual hair strands. The zone of attachment is rendered invisible. The distal end is secured with a knot or other method. The final product is then flipped over to its non braided, seamless side. Installation is in pairs as parents only, parents and children, or individual wefts scattered throughout the wearer's head.

The mirror image embodiment solves hair and scalp imperfections and is available as a hair kit. Embodiments can start right at the edges of a hairline using my technique, even if the wearer is mostly bald, has thinning hair 148, short hair, or has no hair problems.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Glue used with weft and strand methods is harmful to a wearer's native hair and scalp.

However, sewing methods look less natural.

Sewing methods are more time consuming to install, and during removal of the thread, the native hair of the wearer is cut by accident.

Additional disadvantages of the glue and sewing methods are that glue causes substantial hair loss to the wearer.

The Inventor has found that glue methods can fall off in warm temperatures, and so can weft tracks when sewn loosely.

However, regardless of the solutions that the new inventions have provided, new disadvantages and short comings have been added, and some problems are still unsolved.

Unnatural looking hair extension methods still exist at the scalp and crown level.

However, the Inventor has found that the real challenge is the art of creating and installing a more natural, more believable crown area.

Glue and sewing methods offer little help to balding individuals.
