Abstract

A wig exhibiting improved heat tolerance, stain resistance and decreased water absorption including a cap or net foundation and synthetic hair represented by strands of fluoropolymer fibers such as polytetrafluoroethylene multifilament fibers.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to wigs and methods of manufacturing wigs and more particularly to wigs including fluorocarbon polymer fibers as artificial hair.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Wigs are fabricated by fastening hair-like strands, which may be real human or animal hair or a synthetic fiber such as nylon, acrylic, modacrylic, polyester or other polymer, to a net-like base made from cotton or nylon. The base commonly contains an elastic material around the circumference of the base to help hold the wig in place on the wearer's head. Typically, fastening of the hair to the base is done manually or using sewing machines. A method of combining these two techniques is also employed.[0003]Today, most artificial hair is made of synthetic fibers. The reasons for this include ease of manufacture, low cost, readiness in obtaining the desired color of hair and the desire for less troublesome washing and care for the hair. A major convenience to a wig owner is t...
