Hair Extension Clip

Abstract

In an embodiment of the disclosed technology, a hair clip having a rectangular base frame, with a plurality of prongs forming a unitary structure with the base frame, is disclosed. Two weft clips are fixedly attached to, or form a unitary structure with, the base frame. The weft clips which are attached thereto form a three-tined or pronged attachment on either side of the rectangular base frame and attach at an uppermost extremity of the rectangular base, while the lower end of the rectangular base has openings of prongs for attaching hair thereto. The weft clips, in embodiments, hold the weft of a hair extension between the weft clip and rectangular base, such that two tines are at an acute angle to a direction opposite a larger middle tine.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A hair clip, comprising:
 a rectangular base frame having longer upper and lower sides than left and right sides;   a cushion frame fixedly attached to, and extending across, a lower longest length of said rectangular base frame;   an elastic cushion wrapped around a majority of said cushion frame;   a plurality of prongs forming a unitary structure with said base frame extending from an upper longest length of said base frame, said prongs held with tension against said elastic cushion;   two spaced-apart weft clips fixedly and rotatably attached to either side of said upper longest length of said rectangular base frame;   said two spaced-apart weft clips having:
 a connection region fixedly and rotatably attached to said rectangular base frame; 
 a variably angled region connected to said connection region; 
 a thin region connecting said variably angled region to an end region; 
 tines extending from said end region at an acute angle to said variably angled region and said thin region. 
   
     
     
         2 . The hair clip of  claim 1 , wherein for each of said two weft clips, rotating towards said rectangular base frame forms a hollow space between a generally flat side of said rectangular base frame and said two weft clips. 
     
     
         3 . The hair of  claim 1 , wherein said hollow space has a generally flat side formed from said rectangular base and a curvilinear side formed from a weft clip of said two weft clips, said curvilinear side interrupted by said tines. 
     
     
         4 . The clip of  claim 3 , further being part of a kit with a hair extension, said hair extension comprising a weft and hair;
 wherein said weft is frictionally held between said rectangular base frame and said two spaced-apart weft clips; and   said tines compress said weft.   
     
     
         5 . The clip of  claim 4 , wherein said weft is held in each said space of each said weft clip, such that pulling said hair extension in a direction away from said upper side towards said lower side of said rectangular base is ineffective in removing said hair extension without destroying said hair extension. 
     
     
         6 . A hair clip comprising:
 a top portion of a base with weft clips having tines which extend into a space otherwise formed between said weft clips and said base, when said weft clips are touching said base at either end, such that an end of said weft clips and said tines of said weft clips form a frictional attachment mechanism between said top portion of said base and weft placed there-within;   a plurality of prongs extending from said top portion of said base past a bottom portion of said base, said bottom portion on an opposite side of a hollow area of said base between said top and bottom portions, wherein a frictional attachment mechanism between said plurality of prongs and said bottom portion of said base takes place.   
     
     
         7 . The hair clip of  claim 6 , wherein each said weft clip has an attachment region fixedly attached to said base clip and rotatable with respect to said upper longest length of said rectangular base frame. 
     
     
         8 . The hair clip of  claim 6 , wherein each said weft clip forms a curvilinear space above said base, said space being bisected by two said tines. 
     
     
         9 . The hair clip of  claim 8 , wherein said weft clips hold a weft slid between each of said weft clips and said base. 
     
     
         10 . The hair clip of  claim 9 , wherein said weft is compressed by said two tines. 
     
     
         11 . The hair clip of  claim 7 , wherein rotation of a weft clip of said weft clips towards a bottom portion of said base causes said tines to be positioned below a weft positioned between said weft clip and said base. 
     
     
         12 . The hair clip of  claim 6 , comprising a cushion frame fixedly attached to, and extending across, said rectangular base frame, with an elastic cushion wrapped around a majority of said cushion frame. 
     
     
         13 . A hair clip method of use, comprising the steps of:
 sliding weft of a hair extension in a direction from a bottom of a rectangular base of a hair clip to a top of said rectangular base of said hair clip, said top further comprising at least two spaced-apart weft clips, each with at least two tines extending at an acute angle from an end region of a respective said weft clip towards said top, where said bottom being at a side opposite said top;   pushing said weft between said at least two spaced-apart weft clips and said base;   pushing human hair between a plurality of prongs and said base, said plurality of prongs extending from a side opposite said at least two spaced-apart weft clips.   
     
     
         14 . The hair clip method of use of  claim 13 , further comprising a step of rotating each said weft clip, such that respective said tines each displace at least a part of said weft, while said weft is held by a respective said weft clip. 
     
     
         15 . The hair clip method of use of  claim 13 , wherein each said weft clip curvilinearly rises from said base and then, at a lesser angle, curvilinearly falls back towards said base. 
     
     
         16 . The hair clip method of use of  claim 15 , wherein on said curvilinear fall, said tines extend towards said base. 
     
     
         17 . The hair clip method of  claim 16 , wherein, upon pushing said weft upwards past said tines, said tines block said weft from being pulled out in a downward direction.
