  As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of hair extensions 3 are attached to the hair 2 of the wearer 1 by an attachment device 11. As the hair extension 3, an extension (artificial hair bundle) 3A in which artificial hair is bundled, an extension (decoration string) 3B in which artificial stones are arranged, and various parts according to the preference of the wearer 1 are used. The number of hair extensions 3 and attachment sites are not limited to the illustrated example, and are selected according to the preference of the wearer 1.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the hair extension attaching device 11 includes a holder 12 inserted into the hair 2, a plug 13 for fixing the holder 12 on the hair 2, and a connection for connecting the hair extension 3 to the plug 13. It comprises a hook 14 as a tool. The holder 12 is formed into a cylindrical shape whose both ends are thin and a middle part is thick with a flexible elastic material such as silicon rubber, and a through hole 15 through which the hair 2 passes is provided in the center of the holder 12.

  The plug 13 includes an insertion portion 16 that is inserted into the through hole 15, and the head hair 2 is sandwiched between the insertion portion 16 and the holder 12 so that the holder 12 is fixed on the hair 2. The insertion portion 16 includes a core 17 formed in a cone shape with a hard material such as metal or resin, and a cover 18 made of a flexible material such as rubber or resin attached to the outer periphery of the core 17.
