AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention provides a way to attach and remove hair extensions or wigs that have a weft or track system easily with the clip.

Problems solved by technology

Both of these said methods proved problematic for the users due to the undesirable flaws that make improvements necessary.

Directly attaching the hair extension by weaving the hair extension onto the user's existing hair by weaving is problematic due to its labor intensive, time consuming and the risks associated with the procedure.

The proximity of the needle to the scalp during this procedure makes this procedure a risky one as well.

This method while it improves on the labor issue somewhat since it can be self-applied, is still labor intensive, time consuming and ultimately, carries a different type of risk to the user.

The chemicals present in the glue or similar adhesives results in allergic reactions on some users as well as hair being pulled from the scalp during the removal process due some strands of hair stuck to glue residues.

Furthermore, prolonged usage could result in permanent hair loss due to the adverse effect the repeated glue / adhesive use has on the scalp and the skin pores.

While these methods using the hair clips don't present the same health related issues on the users compared to the methods where glue or weaving directly onto the users scalp and hair, respectively, the problems involving time and labor still remain.
