[Figure 2] This is a magnified cross-sectional view of a wig according to an embodiment of the present invention, as seen from the side. [Figure 3] This is a view of a wig according to an embodiment of the present invention, seen from the back side. [Figure 4] This is a view of a wig according to an embodiment of the present invention, seen from the front side. [Figure 5] This is a cross-sectional view of a wig according to an embodiment of the present invention, seen from the back side. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] The following describes embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments unless otherwise inconsistent with the spirit of the present invention.

[0010] A wig refers to human or artificial hair worn on a person's head. The wig of this invention may be a partial wig that covers a part of a person's head, or a full wig that covers the entire head. Wigs also include fashion or medical wigs, as well as extensions used to lengthen natural hair or to insert hair of a different color from natural hair in certain areas. The object on which the wig is worn may be a human being or a mannequin or other doll.

[0011] In the following, the side of the wig that is placed on the head is defined as the underside, and the side from which the hair material stretches is defined as the front side. Furthermore, the underside surface of the base located on the underside of the wig is defined as the underside of the base, and the top surface of the base located on the front side of the wig is defined as the top surface of the base. Additionally, when wearing the wig, the side with the face is defined as the front, and the side with the back of the head is defined as the back. The top surface of the base is defined as the top, and the underside of the base is defined as the bottom. Furthermore, the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the wig is defined as the width direction.

[0012] Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of a wig according to an embodiment of the present invention, viewed from the side. Figure 2 is an enlarged view of the cross-section of a wig according to an embodiment of the present invention, viewed from the side. The wig 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises hair material 2 (2a, 2b, 2c, ...), base part 3 (3a and 3b), fixing part 4, attachment part 5 (5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d), and core material 6. Note that the fixing part 4 is omitted in Figure 1, and the attachment part 5 is omitted in Figure 2. Also, in Figure 1, the reference numerals are omitted for hair material 2 implanted behind the hair material 2i. The wig 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 may be a partial wig for covering the parting at the top of the head.

[0013] Hair material 2 is equivalent to human hair. Hair material 2 may be either human hair or synthetic hair. As synthetic hair, for example, polyester fibers, nylon fibers, polyvinyl chloride fibers, or acrylic fibers can be used. The wire diameter of the hair material is preferably 60 μm or more, and more preferably 120 μm or less.

[0014] In Figures 1 and 2, the hair material 2 passes through two different meshes of the first base portion 3a, from the back to the front. Also in Figures 1 and 2, the hair material 2 passes through two different meshes of the second base portion 3b, from the back to the front. Both ends of the hair material 2 are located above the front sides (surface of base portion 3) of the first base portion 3a and the second base portion 3b. The central part of the hair material 2 is located below the back sides (back of base portion 3) of the first base portion 3a and the second base portion 3b. In other words, the tips of the hair material 2 visible from the front of wig 1 correspond to both ends of the hair material 2, and the roots of the hair material 2 correspond to the part of the hair material 2 near the center that protrudes from the surface of base portion 3.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 2, the hair material 2 may be adhered to the first base portion 3a at the fixing portion 4 located on the back side (the back surface of the base portion 3) of the first base portion 3a. The method of adhering the hair material 2 is not particularly limited. Examples of the method of adhering the hair material 2 include a method of adhering with an adhesive.

[0016] The first base portion 3a has a thin layer shape. The first base portion 3a is not particularly limited, but may have flexibility and breathability. The color of the first base portion 3a may be dyed according to the skin color of the wearer. The first base portion 3a has a function of fixing the hair material 2. The first base portion 3a is, for example, composed of a fabric having fine meshes. The material constituting the first base portion 3a is not particularly limited, but is preferably polyester or nylon. The size of the meshes of the first base portion 3a is preferably 50# to 200#. Also, the wire diameter constituting the meshes is preferably 30 μm or more.

[0017] The second base portion 3b has a thin layer shape. The second base portion 3b is provided on the front side (upper side) of the first base portion 3a. Both the first base portion 3a and the second base portion 3b are in a thin layer shape, and the planes of the first base portion 3a and the second base portion 3b preferably have the same shape.

[0018] The second base portion 3b is not particularly limited, but may have flexibility and breathability. The color of the second base portion 3b may be dyed according to the skin color of the wearer. The second base portion 3b has a function of making the hair material 2 stand up and a function of hiding the adhesion portion between the first base portion 3a and the hair material 2. The second base portion 3b is, for example, composed of a fabric having fine meshes. The material constituting the second base portion 3b is not particularly limited, but is preferably polyester or nylon. The size of the meshes of the second base portion 3b is preferably 50# to 200#. Also, the wire diameter constituting the meshes is preferably 30 μm or more.

[0019] By inserting the hair material 2 from the back to the front of the first base portion 3a and the second base portion 3b, and fixing the hair material 2 to the back surface of the first base portion 3a, it is possible to create the appearance of hair growing directly from the scalp, resulting in a natural-looking hairline. Alternatively, the hair material 2 may be fixed by tying the hair material 2 inserted into the second base portion 3b instead of fixing it to the first base portion 3a.

[0020] By inserting the hair material 2 from the back to the front of the first base section 3a and the second base section 3b, the roots of the implanted hair material 2 can be supported at two points. Therefore, compared to the case where the roots of the hair material 2 are supported at only one point, the hair material 2 stands up more strongly, giving the wig 1 a fuller appearance.

[0021] The first base section 3a and the second base section 3b can be used without any particular problems if they are in sheet form, but by using the first base section 3a and the second base section 3b in a mesh (net) form, it is possible to improve breathability and enhance the feeling of freshness during use.

[0022] In Figures 1 and 2, the base portion 3 is composed of two parts, a first base portion 3a and a second base portion 3b. However, the base portion 3 may consist of only one base portion, or it may consist of three or more base portions.

[0023] Furthermore, in the above description, we have explained a wig 1 in which hair material 2 is inserted through two different points on the base part 3 from the back to the front, and the hair material 2 on the back of the base part 3 is adhered to the back surface of the base part 3. However, in the wig of the present invention, the method of implanting the hair material into the base part is not particularly limited and can be designed as appropriate. For example, the hair material 1 may be inserted through one point on the base part, and the hair material on the back of the base part may be adhered to the back surface of the base part.

[0024] In the wig of the present invention, at least a portion of the hair material implanted in the base portion is fixed to the surface of the base portion. In Figure 1, of the multiple hair materials 2 implanted in the first base portion 3a and the second base portion 3b of the wig 1, three hair materials 2a to 2c (six hair materials 2 that extend above the surface of the base portion 3) are fixed to the front surface of the second base portion 3b (the surface of the base portion 3). Note that "the hair material is fixed to the surface of the base portion" includes not only the case where the hair material is fixed in contact with the surface of the base portion, but also the case where the hair material is fixed in contact with hair material fixed to the surface of the base portion, even if it is not in contact with the surface of the base portion itself.

[0025] By fixing the hair material to the surface of the base, the movement of the fixed hair material is restricted. Therefore, even when the wind blows, the hair material does not lift up, preventing the boundary between the wig and the wearer's natural hair from being visible. In this way, by fixing at least a portion of the hair material implanted in the base to the surface of the base, it is possible to provide a wig that is difficult for a third party to notice is being worn.

[0026] The position where the hair material 2, which is fixed to the surface of the base part 3, is implanted is preferably at the end of the base part 3. The end of the base part 3 refers to a predetermined range from the outer edge of the base part 3. The predetermined range can be appropriately designed according to the size and use of the wig 1. For example, the predetermined range may be within 20 mm, 10 mm, 5 mm, 3 mm, 2 mm, or 1 mm from the outer edge of the base part 3. By having the predetermined range within the above range, for example, when the hair material 2 implanted in the predetermined range is fixed to the base part 3 with adhesive, the base part 3 will not become too hard, and the hair material 2 will be fixed.

[0027] Furthermore, the position where the hair material 2 fixed to the surface of the base portion 3 is implanted only needs to be at least a part of the end of the base portion 3. For example, the hair material 2 implanted on the entire end of the base portion 3, that is, on the outer circumference of the base portion 3, or a part of the end of the base portion 3, for example, the hair material 2 implanted on the front end of the base portion 3, may be fixed.

[0028] In this way, the hair material implanted on at least a portion of the edge of the base is fixed to the surface of the base, which makes it difficult for the hair material at the edge to move, and the boundary between the wig and the natural hair becomes less visible.

[0029] All of the hair material 2 implanted within the area for fixing the hair material 2 may be fixed to the base part 3, or some may remain unfixed to the base part 3. From the viewpoint of avoiding the unfixed hair material 2 appearing to float, it is preferable that all of the hair material 2 implanted within the area for fixing the hair material 2 be fixed to the base part 3.

[0030] Furthermore, the position of the hair material 2 fixed to the surface of the base part 3 is preferably near the root of the hair material 2. Near the root of the hair material 2 refers to a predetermined range from the root of the hair material 2. The predetermined range may be determined according to the position where the hair material 2 is implanted. For example, when fixing hair material 2 that is implanted at a position 15 mm from the outer edge of the base part 3, a length of 15 mm from the root may be fixed. Also, for example, when fixing hair material 2 that is implanted at a position 5 mm from the outer edge of the base part 3, a length of 5 mm from the root may be fixed. The predetermined range may be, for example, within 20 mm from the root, within 10 mm, within 5 mm, within 3 mm, within 2 mm, or within 1 mm. By ensuring that the specified range is within the above range, for example, when the specified range at the root of the hair material 2 is fixed to the base part 3 with adhesive, the base part 3 will not become too hard, and the hair material 2 will be fixed in place.

[0031] In this way, because the base of the hair material is fixed to the surface of the base, the boundary between the wig and the natural hair is hidden by the fixed hair material, while the tip of the hair material can move naturally, making it more difficult for others to notice that a wig is being worn.

[0032] The method for fixing the hair material 2 to the surface of the base part 3 is not particularly limited and can be designed as appropriate. For example, the hair material 2 may be fixed by bonding it to the surface of the base part 3 with an adhesive, by heat bonding it to the surface of the base part 3, or by tying the hair material 2 to the surface of the base part 3. From the viewpoint of making the fixing work easy, it is preferable that the hair material be fixed to the surface of the base part by adhesive or heat bonding.

[0033] The type of adhesive is not particularly limited and can be designed as appropriate. For example, the adhesive may be a UV-curing adhesive or a moisture-curing adhesive.

[0034] The direction in which the hair material 2 is fixed may be determined according to the intended use of the wig 1 (the area to which it is attached). The hair material 2 may be fixed so that it flows toward the outer edge of the base part 3 near the location where the hair is implanted. For example, a portion of the hair material 2 near the root may be fixed to the outer edge or end of the base part 3 near the location where the hair is implanted. The hair material 2 crosses the outer edge of the base part 3 and flows toward the outside of the base part 3.

[0035] In this way, the hair material is fixed to the surface of the base so that it flows toward the outer edge of the base near the location where the hair is implanted. This increases the likelihood that when the wig is worn, the hair material will flow in roughly the same direction as the wearer's own hair.

[0036] Furthermore, in the wig 1, it is preferable that the hair material 2 that is not fixed to the surface of the base part 3 is placed over the hair material 2 that is fixed to the surface of the base part 3. For example, in Figure 1, the hair material 2a to 2c that is fixed to the surface of the second base part 3b is covered by the hair material 2d to 2h that is not fixed. In this way, the unfixed hair material is placed over the fixed hair material, making it difficult for a third party to perceive the fixed parts of the hair material.

[0037] Furthermore, in wig 1, it is preferable that the overlapping hair material 2 flows in approximately the same direction as the fixed hair material 2. For example, in Figure 1, the direction in which the fixed hair material 2a to 2c flows and the direction in which the overlapping hair material 2d to 2h flows are approximately the same. However, the direction in which the fixed hair material 2 flows and the direction in which the overlapping hair material 2 flows do not have to be exactly the same. For example, the direction in which the fixed hair material 2 flows and the direction in which the overlapping hair material 2 flows may be offset by about 10 to 40 degrees.

[0038] The method for making the hair material 2, which is not fixed to the surface of the base portion 3, flow in a predetermined direction is not particularly limited. For example, the hair material 2 may be made to flow in a predetermined direction by treating at least a portion of it with heat and / or pressure. Specifically, for example, heat may be applied near the root of the hair material 2, or pressure may be applied to make it bend in a predetermined direction. By treating the hair material with heat and / or pressure, the hair material can be easily made to flow in a predetermined direction.

[0039] The number of unfixed hair strands 2 that overlap the fixed hair strands 2 is not particularly limited and can be designed as appropriate. It is sufficient that at least a portion of the unfixed hair strands 2 overlap the fixed hair strands 2.

[0040] By inserting hair material through the first and second base sections, fixing the hair material at the ends of the base section to the surface of the base section, and then covering it with the unfixed hair material, it is possible to provide a wig that allows the hair to stand up softly while making it difficult for a third party to notice that the wig is being worn, with the boundary between the wig and the natural hair (wig hair) being invisible at the ends, and the boundary between the ends and the standing-up section blending in naturally.

[0041] The attachment part 5 has a sheet-like shape and is provided on the back side of the base part 3. The attachment part 5 may be adhered to the back surface of the first base part 3a (the back surface of the base part 3), sewn, welded, or tied to it. When attaching the attachment part 5 to the first base part 3a, double-sided tape can be used. The attachment part 5 can be attached to and removed from the user's hair. Preferably, the attachment part 5 is a so-called hook-and-loop fastener (Magic Tape®). The hook-and-loop fastener has, for example, a mushroom-shaped napped surface. By pressing the napped surface of the hook-and-loop fastener against the hair, the wig 1 can be attached to the hair. It is also possible to peel off the wig 1 once it has been attached to the hair.

[0042] Figure 3 is a view of the wig according to an embodiment of the present invention, seen from the back side. In other words, Figure 3 is a view of the wig 1 from below. When the wig 1 is viewed from below, the hair material 2 on the front side may appear to protrude from the base part 3, but the hair material 2 is not shown in Figure 3. The base part 3 has the same shape when viewed from the back side. The attachment part 5 has a shape with a contour parallel to the contour of the base part 3.

[0043] It is preferable that the base portion 3 has a recess 3d in the center in the width direction at one end 3c in the longitudinal direction. The recess 3d is located between the two protrusions 3e of the base portion 3, on both the left and right sides.

[0044] The end portion 3c is the part located furthest forward in the longitudinal direction. It is preferable for the user to attach the wig 1 to their hair so that the recess 3d is located at the front end portion 3c. When the wig 1 is attached so that the recess 3d is located at the front, the boundary between the wig 1 and the hair becomes less visible to others. If the hair material 2 implanted in the base portion 3 is parted in the center in the width direction of the base portion, the boundary between the wig 1 and the hair becomes easier to see from the front if there is no recess 3d in the base portion 3, but if there is a recess 3d in the base portion 3, the boundary between the wig 1 and the hair becomes less visible from the front. Note that the recess in the center in the width direction of the base portion 3 may be present not only at the front end portion 3c but also at the rear end portion.

[0045] The mounting portion 5 is preferably divided into three or more sections and arranged along the longitudinal direction of the base portion 3. The number of divided mounting portions 5 may be four or more, or five or more.

[0046] By dividing the attachment section 5, the wig 1 becomes easier to attach to the shape of the user's head. Also, because the attachment section 5 is rigid, it flattens out over time after attachment, and the wig 1 may separate from the hair and lift up at the front and back of the head. This lifting of the wig 1 is particularly noticeable when it is windy. Dividing the attachment section 5 makes it possible to suppress this lifting.

[0047] Furthermore, when not in use, the hair material 2 may become tangled with the attachment part 5, but by dividing the attachment part 5, it becomes easier to peel the tangled hair material away from the attachment part 5.

[0048] Furthermore, by dividing the attachment part 5, the wig 1 can be made lighter. As a result, the user's comfort of wearing the wig 1 is improved.

[0049] The longitudinal length L of the base portion 3 is preferably 7 cm or more, and preferably 8 cm or more. The length L is preferably 9 cm or less, and preferably 10 cm or less. The widthwise length W of the base portion 3 is preferably 2 cm or more, and preferably 2.5 cm or more. The length W is preferably 4 cm or less, and preferably 3.5 cm or less.

[0050] Furthermore, the mounting portion 5 is formed with a predetermined width gap between it and the outer shape of the base portion 3. The gap between the outer shape of the base portion 3 and the outer shape of the mounting portion 5 is preferably 0.1 cm or more, and more preferably 0.3 cm or more. Also, the gap between the outer shape of the base portion 3 and the outer shape of the mounting portion 5 is preferably 0.8 cm or less, and more preferably 0.5 cm or less.

[0051] The ratio L1 / L, which is the length L1 of the frontmost attachment portion 5a in the front-to-back direction when the base portion 3 is attached to the user's hair so that its longitudinal direction is in the front-to-back direction relative to its length L, is preferably 25 / 100 or more, preferably 28 / 100 or more, preferably 35 / 100 or less, and preferably 40 / 100 or less.

[0052] The ratio L2 / L, which is the front-to-back length L2 of the second attachment portion 5b from the front when the base portion 3 is attached to the user's hair so that its longitudinal direction is in the front-to-back direction relative to its length L, is preferably 15 / 100 or more, and preferably 18 / 100 or more. L2 / L is preferably 24 / 100 or less, and preferably 22 / 100 or less.

[0053] The ratio L3 / L, which is the length L3 of the second-to-last attachment portion 5c in the front-to-back direction when the base portion 3 is attached to the user's hair so that its longitudinal direction is in the front-to-back direction relative to its length L, is preferably 15 / 100 or more, and preferably 18 / 100 or more. L3 / L is preferably 24 / 100 or less, and preferably 22 / 100 or less.

[0054] The ratio L4 / L, which is the ratio of the length L4 of the rearmost attachment portion 5d in the front-to-back direction to the length L of the base portion 3 when attached to the user's hair so that the longitudinal direction of the base portion 3 is in the front-to-back direction, is preferably 15 / 100 or more, and preferably 18 / 100 or more. L4 / L is preferably 24 / 100 or less, and preferably 22 / 100 or less.

[0055] The mounting parts 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d are arranged in order from front to back. The spacing between adjacent mounting parts 5 is preferably 1 mm or more, and more preferably 2 mm or more. Furthermore, the spacing between adjacent mounting parts 5 is preferably 10 mm or less, and more preferably 5 mm or less.

[0056] Figure 4 is a view of a wig according to an embodiment of the present invention, seen from the surface. In other words, Figure 4 is a view of the wig 1 from above. Note that in Figure 4, only the hair material 2 implanted on the base portion 3 that is located around the base portion 3 is depicted, and the rest of the hair material is not depicted.

[0057] The protruding portion 3e that forms the recess 3d preferably has rounded corners. As shown in Figure 4(b), if the corners of the protruding portion 3e that forms the recess 3d are not rounded but are normal corners, that is, if the corners are formed by a straight line parallel to the longitudinal direction and a straight line parallel to the width direction, the hair material 2 will extend outward from the base portion 3 along the direction normal to the contour of the base portion 3. As a result, there will be less hair material 2 extending diagonally between the vertical and left-right directions. When a third party views a user wearing the wig 1 from the front or diagonally, the base portion 3 and attachment portion 5 of the wig 1 may be visible without being hidden by the hair material 2.

[0058] On the other hand, as shown in Figure 4(a), if the corners of the protruding portion 3e that forms the recess 3d are rounded, the hair material 2 will extend not only vertically or horizontally, but also diagonally along the normal direction of the contour of the base portion 3. As a result, even if a third party views the user wearing the wig 1 from the front or diagonally, the base portion 3 and attachment portion 5 of the wig 1 will be hidden by the hair material 2 and become difficult to see.

[0059] As shown in Figure 4(a), the rounded corners of the rear end conceal the base portion 3 and attachment portion 5 of the wig 1, making them less visible.

[0060] The depth of the recess 3d from the end 3c is preferably 2 mm or more, and preferably 1 cm or less. If the depth of the recess 3d from the end 3c is L5, the ratio of L5 to length L, L5 / L, is preferably 5 / 100 or more, and preferably 7 / 100 or more. L5 / L is preferably 11 / 100 or less, and preferably 13 / 100 or less.

[0061] Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of a wig according to an embodiment of the present invention, viewed from the back side. Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of the base portion 3 in a plane parallel to the plane and containing the core material 6. In Figure 5, the attachment portion 5a is shown with a dashed line to show the positional relationship between the attachment portion 5a and the core material 6. The wig 1 includes a core material 6 that restricts changes in the shape of the base portion 3 at least one end of the base portion 3 closer to the center in the longitudinal direction. As shown in Figure 1, it is preferable that the core material 6 has a shape that curves downward towards at least one end. Because the head has a shape that curves downward as it gets closer to the face or closer to the back of the head, the core material 6 having a shape that curves downward towards the end makes it easier for the wig 1 to fit the shape of the user's head.

[0062] The core material 6 has a shape like a long, thin wire. The material of the core material 6 is not particularly limited, but for example, a wire made of metal (e.g., aluminum, iron, copper, stainless steel, etc.) or an alloy (e.g., carbon steel) can be used. In particular, it is preferable to use a wire made of carbon steel as the core material 6. The core material 6 is also positioned, for example, between the base part 3 and the attachment part 5. It is preferable that the core material 6 has a shape that conforms to the shape of the base part 3. It is even more preferable that the end 6a of the core material 6 forms a circular shape toward the inside. In this way, even if the core material 6 were to protrude from between the base part 3 and the attachment part 5, it is possible to prevent it from damaging the user's hair or scalp. When viewed from the front, it is preferable that the core material 6 is formed so that the center is the lowest part and it goes upwards toward the left or right. By forming it in this way, when the wig 1 is attached along the parting of the hair, the hair material 2 extends along the flow of the user's hair, making it difficult for a third party to notice that the user is wearing the wig 1.

[0063] The user's purpose for using wig 1 is not particularly limited. Wig 1 can be used, for example, to conceal areas where gray hair is visible, areas with thinning hair or a receding hairline, or to add volume to the hair.

[0064] The base portion has a recess in the center of its width at one end in the longitudinal direction of the base portion. When the wig is worn with the recess positioned forward, the boundary between the wig and the natural hair becomes less visible from the front, making it difficult for others to notice that the user is wearing a wig. Furthermore, the protruding portion forming the recess has rounded corners, which makes it easier for the implanted hair material to face forward, further reducing the visibility of the user's wig to others.

[0065] The base portion is provided with a core material that restricts changes in the shape of the base portion at at least one end closer to the end than the center in the longitudinal direction. If the surface side of the base portion is defined as the upper side and the back side of the base portion is defined as the lower side, the core material has a shape that points downward at at least one end, thereby preventing the front of the wig from lifting away from the hair.

[0066] The attachment section is divided into three or more parts along the longitudinal direction of the base, making it easier to attach the wig to conform to the shape of the user's head. The ratio L1 / L, which is the length in the front-to-back direction of the foremost attachment section when the base is attached to the user's hair with the longitudinal direction of the base being the front-to-back direction, to the length L in the longitudinal direction of the base, is 25 / 100 or more, making it easier to attach the wig to conform to the shape of the user's head.

[0067] Next, the method for manufacturing the wig of the present invention will be described. The method for manufacturing the wig 1 includes a hair implantation step of implanting hair material 2 onto a sheet-like base portion 3, and a fixing step of fixing at least a portion of the hair material 2 implanted on the base portion 3 to the surface of the base portion 3.

[0068] The hair implantation step may include steps such as inserting the hair material 2 into the base part 3 and adhering the inserted hair material 2 to the base part 3.

[0069] A known method can be used to insert the hair material 2 into the base portion 3. For example, a tapping device having a J-shaped hook portion and a flap portion that is rotatable at the base end of the hook portion and can open and close the hook portion can be used to insert the hair material 2 into the base portion 3.

[0070] An adhesive can be used to bond the base part 3 and the hair material 2. For example, a UV-curing adhesive can be applied to the contact points between the base part 3 and the hair material 2, and then cured by irradiating with ultraviolet light to form a fixed part 4.

[0071] The fixing step may include steps such as applying pressure to the hair material 2 to be fixed and tilting it in a predetermined direction, applying adhesive to the surface of the base part 3 and onto the hair material 2, and curing the adhesive.

[0072] The method for tilting the hair material 2 in a predetermined direction is not particularly limited and can be designed as appropriate. The hair material 2 may be tilted by an operator manually, or it may be tilted by a machine.

[0073] The method for applying and curing the adhesive is not particularly limited and can be designed as appropriate. When using a UV-curing adhesive, the adhesive can be cured by applying it to the area to be fixed and then irradiating it with ultraviolet light. When using a moisture-curing adhesive, the adhesive can be cured by applying it to the area to be fixed and allowing a predetermined amount of time to pass, allowing the moisture in the air to cure the adhesive.

[0074] Alternatively, the fixing step may include steps such as applying heat to the hair material 2, applying pressure to the hair material 2 to be fixed and tilting it in a predetermined direction, and cooling to adhere the hair material 2 to the surface of the base part 3.

[0075] The manufacturing process of wig 1 may include various other processes depending on the function and manufacturing method of wig 1.
