Benefits of technology

The patent describes a hairpiece that can be used to create a hair part on a person's head. It is made of a flexible base that is shaped to match the top-central region of the head. The base has a front edge and a back edge and a V-shaped slit that can be used to create a hair part. It also has a bottom surface that has a textile pad attached to it and a top surface where the hair flows outwardly, helping to create the appearance of a hair part when the hairpiece is in use. The technical effect of this invention is to provide an easy and convenient way to create a hair part on a person's head, allowing for a more flexible and customizable approach compared to traditional techniques.

Problems solved by technology

However, the process of weaving hair extensions or a hair weave into a persons hair is arduous, time consuming, expensive, and often requires the service of a hair-weaving professional.
Furthermore, if a portion of the person's hair weave ever becomes damaged, replacing that portion of the weave typically requires a complete reworking or replacement of the person's entire hair weave.
