Abstract (en)

Method of preparing hair extensions (1) for creating hairstyles, in which a quantity of thermoplastic resin is applied in the fluid state to one end of a lock of hair (1). The ends of the hairs in contact with the resin are compressed between a concave surface (6) and a corresponding convex surface (7) and then removed, with the result that they assume the shape of a concave shell (2) similar in form to a fingernail, which becomes rigid once the resin has cooled. A moulding tool for carrying out the said method is also described, in various embodiments as a pair of pliers (3) and as a manual press. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
