St George, Utah Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
Invisible Bead Extensions LLC has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for its innovative approach to hair extension application. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent Application No. 20240023658, titled ‘Method for attaching hair extensions’, introduces a technique that enhances comfort, durability, and the natural appearance of hair extensions.
Invisible Bead Extensions’ patented method revolutionizes the way hair extensions are attached by eliminating direct contact between beads and the scalp. This approach reduces discomfort and minimizes potential damage to natural hair. The technique involves sectioning the client’s hair, placing beads away from the scalp to create a flexible groove, and securing wefts using a specific stitching pattern. This pattern includes side bead stitches and weft stitches that sandwich the natural hair between the top and bottom wefts, ensuring a secure and discreet attachment.
Unlike traditional methods that often rely on adhesives or tight braiding, this system focuses on equal weight distribution and proper tension. By doing so, it prevents issues like slippage, scalp irritation, and hair breakage. The result is a more comfortable experience for clients and a longer-lasting, natural-looking extension.
This advancement not only improves the client’s experience but also sets a new standard for stylists in the industry. By addressing common problems associated with hair extensions, Invisible Bead Extensions’ method offers a practical solution that prioritizes hair health and comfort.
