Abstract

A method for joining hair comprises the steps of forming a reducible loop on one end of a strand of joining hair, reducing and tightening the loop after piercing a strand of stationary hair through the loop, and weaving and tying together both of the joining hair and stationary hair to firmly join the two hair pieces. A joining hair used for the hair joining method is characterized in that at least one strand of hair is folded into two and free ends of the hair are pierced through the folded portion to form a loop on the joining hair. This loop or looped portion is then heated to curl so that the looped portion may not be lost or straightened. A joining hair retainer used for the hair joining method comprises a retainer body, a rod-like member disposed on one end portion of the retainer body, and an elongated cushion member disposed on the retainer body in such a manner as to be spaced apart from the rod-like member, and having a plurality of cuts. Reducible looped portions formed on joining hairs pierce through the rod-like member and free ends are inserted into and clamped by the plurality of cuts in the cushion member. Hair joining according to this method can be done easily and efficiently without the possibility that the scalp might be burnt with a high temperature trowel. Moreover, hair joined by this method exhibits long life.
