Benefits of technology

[0033]Generally speaking, the wearer's own hair growing on the scalp, that is, the remaining hair growing around except for the lost hair and the thin hair portions has bending rigidity lower than natural hair on average. According to the present invention, since the hair attached to the periphery of the wig base has bending rigidity lower than natural hair, as a result, the hair having bending rigidity of the same level as the wearer's own hair growing on the scalp is attached to the wig base periphery or the total peripheral region. Therefore, when the wig is worn, and the hair attached to the periphery or the total peripheral region is put over the neighboring wearer's own hair and blended therewith, the wig hair and the wearer's own hair show similar behavior, mutually blend well, an...

Problems solved by technology

However, when a wig is made by attaching artificial hair made of a polyamide fiber material to a wig base, since bending rigidity of a polyamide fiber is too low compared with the wearer's own hair even if the wearer's own hair growing on the scalp and the artificial hair attached to a wig base are well blended and the hair style is well set upon the wig wearing, the wearer's own hair and the artificial hair attached to a wig are separated as time elapses since the wig wearing, the wearer's own hair around the wig base periphery stands up to cause ...

third embodiment

[0157]Different from the third embodiment, when the wearer's remaining hair has rigidity of the same level as that of ordinary natural hair, that is, if bending rigidity of the wearer's remaining hair is about 5.0 to 6.5×10−3 gf·cm2 / strand, the extent of the wearer's remaining hair can be responded by attaching artificial hair having bending rigidity of the same level as that of the remaining hair. Since rigid artificial hair is attached to the forehead portion 11b of the wig base 11 and the top portion 11c, hair styles of bulky feeling can be formed, and the hair disturbance can be prevented.

[0158]As was explained above, the artificial hair attached to the wig base is made of a polyamide fiber having a sheath / core structure in any of the first to the fourth embodiments, but, as explained in the fifth to the eighth embodiments below, a first artificial hair of a polyamide fiber having a sheath / core structure and a second artificial hair of a polyester fiber may be uniformly mixed pr...

eleventh embodiment

[0183]Explanation was made of an example wherein the hairs of the pre-determined curl diameter and length for respective portions were further attached in the eleventh embodiment as the fourteenth and the fifteenth embodiments, but a wig may be constituted likewise by attaching the hair of the pre-determined curl diameter and length for respective portions in the twelfth and the thirteenth embodiments.

[0184]Thus, since it is possible to attach the hair of high bending rigidity in the regions of top portions 11c and 31e of the wig base 11 and 31, it is not necessary to make wave shapes at fine intervals near the roots of hair upon hair attaching process, that is, to make the hair stand up after attaching by so-called crimping process, thereby not causing crimped hair by crimping process, nor spoiling the appearance. Also, since it is not necessary to make high hair density attached to the wig base 11 and 31, the appearance of hair styles itself does not change.

[0185]Not limited to th...

Abstract

A wig (10, 30) is made with artificial hairs (12, 13, 32, 33) having bending rigidities depending upon portions attached to respective portions. A wig base (11, 31) is partitioned to a plurality of regions, and the hair (12, 32) having bending rigidity lower than average natural hair is attached to the periphery (11a) of the left and right side head portions and the rear head portion and to the total peripheral region (31A), and blended with the wearer's own hair growing around the wig. On the other hand, in the region toward the center of the wig base (11, 31), the hair (13, 33) having bending rigidity of the same level as natural hair is attached. The artificial hair (12, 13, 32, 33) has the pre-determined length and curl diameter depending upon respective regions, and especially, the hair (13) to be attached to the peripheral portion (11a) and the hair (33) to be attached to the total peripheral region (31A) have the curl diameter and/or length of substantially the same level as the hair growing on the wearer's scalp.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001]This invention relates to a wig such that its wearing is not easily visible by controlling the bending rigidity of the hair attached to its wig base for the better blending with the wig wearer's own hair growing on the scalp.BACKGROUND ART [0002]A wig comprises basically in general a wig base with a net material as its main part or a wig base of an artificial skin made of a thin sheet or film of polyurethane or silicone, and hair attached to said wig base by sewing or bonding. As the hair attached to a wig base, besides natural hair such as human hair, the artificial hairs made of polyamide resins, polyester resins, or modacryl are known. As the types of wigs, the cap-shaped wig for a whole scalp which has a periphery along the wearer's hairline on the forehead, side head, and rear head portions, and the partial wig to be worn to hide only the necessary portion of the head are known in general.[0003]Patent Reference 1 discloses that various hair styles are avai...
