Abstract
An apparatus and method for the attachment of supplemental hair to existing natural hair. The apparatus comprising a first comb member, a handle attached at a back end thereof, and a second comb member hingeably or pivotally attached thereto. A row of first teeth extends from the first comb member corresponding to a row of second teeth extending from the second comb member. The second comb member is positioned to be moveable interchangeably between a closed position and an open position. A heating member connects to and provides heat to one or both of the first comb member and second comb member. The apparatus is utilized in a process to attach supplemental hair to existing natural hair of a person's head. The method uses rows of supplemental hair pre-attached to a band member. An adhesive member is pre-hardened on each row of supplemental hair at a predetermined distance near the band member. With the second comb member in the open position, the rows of supplemental hair strands of natural hair are placed between each tooth of the row of first teeth. The second comb member is moved to the closed position for a predetermined period of time long enough to allow the pre-hardened adhesive to melt sufficiently to adhere the rows of supplemental hairs.
