    Description


    [0001] The invention refers to hair wefts.

    [0002] Hair wefts with clips are widely known, however, the existing products have main disadvantages. They are available only in standard size (length and volume) and cannot be easily adjusted by the user depending on the needs and mood, for example if the user wishes to change the color (lighter, darker etc.). Additionally, in case of damage some reconstruction or replacement is needed.

    [0003] WO 2007/013754 discloses a hair top piece with a connection member 200 (the reference signs refer to the figures of WO 2007/013754) having engaging parts 210 with engaging members 300. Complementary engaging members 300 are provided in wig bodies 100. The attachment of the hair top piece to the hair of the user is effected by insertion support parts 120 that are provided on each wig body 100. These insertion support parts 120 pass through openings 220 provided in the engaging parts 210.

    [0004] The object of the invention is a hair weft which is easily adjustable.

    [0005] A hair weft with hair pieces according to the invention includes three pads, whereby the three pads are made of fabric or rubber and have two faces, the one face of the two faces carrying button bases to attach the pad with at least one hair piece and the other face of the two faces having clips and whereby at least one pad has button bases to attach the pad to at least two hair pieces.

    [0006] They are available only in standard size (length and volume) and cannot be, directly, adjusted by the user depending on the needs and mood.
    The same situation there is also with the color, there is not the opportunity of immediate color change (lighter, darker etc). Additionally, in a case of damage even small, long standing reconstruction or replacement is needed.

    [0007] The new hair weft with buttons can be adjusted immediately to the hair length and volume, just by adding or removing hair pieces. Similarly, color changes are allowed (lighter or darker).
    Finally, the construction offers flexibility in repairing damaged parts, since the process is simple replacement of the damaged part and not total replacement or reconstruction.

    [0008] The construction of hair weft with buttons can be easily perceptible by the attached plans.

    [0009] Figure 1 shows three fabric sections (pads) (2), where button bases have been placed (3).

    [0010] At the reverse side (A) of each pad there is a clip (4), as presented on figure 2, so that the construction can be placed at the head or wig.

    [0011] Figure 1, also, presents a clip (4) two hair pieces (1), where buckles for the pads button bases are placed (5) at appropriate distances and snaps as follows. The first one, on the left, snaps on the left pad button bases and on the first column button bases of the central pad. Similarly, the second one snaps on the second column button bases of the central pad and on the right pad button bases.

    [0012] Figure 3 presents an example of six hair pieces, three on the one side and three on the other side.

    [0013] By this way a single construction is created as presented on figure 4 (back side) and on figure 5 (front side).

    [0014] Finally, figure 6 presents how the construction can be adjusted to the width in the half of its original size, by removing hair piece or pieces from one side.
