Abstract
A hairpiece or wig is formed of a substrate having at least two layers or sets of fibers. The hairpiece has a wig cap section which forming the core of the hairpiece to be placed on the head of an individual. The wig cap may be formed of a plurality of selectively-deformable rings adapted to adjustably conform to a head of an individual. A mesh section of the wig cap may adorn the portion of the wig cap corresponding to the forehead of the individual. The mesh section may have opposing parting areas on the left and right anterior portions of wig cap formed by recesses extending into the deformable ring portion of the wig cap. Hair strands extending from each parting area may have different shades and/or colors from one another and/or any hair strands extending from the deformable ring portion of the wig cap.
Claims16
A hairpiece comprising:
- a one-piece mesh substrate sized to fit the head of an individual, said substrate including a first set of fibers and a second set of fibers;
- a plurality of selectively-deformable stabilizing rings disposed within said substrate, said stabilizing rings including a third set of substantially-concentric, monofilament fibers affixed to said mesh substrate, said set of fibers having a tensile strength which is lower than a tensile strength of said first and second set of fibers, wherein said stabilizing rings form a central vertex which defines an inside edge of a left parting area, corresponding to a left side of said head, and said stabilizing rings further form said central vertex which defines an inside edge of a right parting area, corresponding to a right side of said head, said left and right parting areas extending towards a back of said head with said stabilizing rings extending therebetween;
- and
- a plurality of hairs attached to said substrate at, at least said left and right parting areas.
A hairpiece comprising:
- a substrate sized to fit a head of an individual, said substrate having at least two layers;
- a first layer composed of a piece of homogeneous fabric having a plurality of substantially-concentric, monofilament fibers extending therethrough, said first layer generally conforming to a top, back, and sides of said head;
- a second layer of mesh affixed to said first layer, said second layer formed a mesh weave corresponding to a front of said head and further extending towards a top of said head at two spaced apart regions corresponding to, at least, a left and right area such that a central vertex is formed in said first layer at a portion of said hairpiece corresponding to the forehead;
- and
- a plurality of hairs attached to said substrate.
A method of producing a hairpiece:
- fixing together a first and second layer, said first layer comprising a piece of homogeneous fabric having a plurality of substantially-concentric, monofilament fibers extending therethrough, said second layer comprising a mesh weave corresponding to a front of a head and further extending towards a top of said head,
- attaching hair to form a left part and a right part of the hair in said second layer at spaced-apart, elongated regions of said second layer, wherein said elongated regions extend partially between a forehead and a crown of said head;
- attaching hair of a first distinct shade to said left part of said two parts;
- attaching hair of a second distinct shade to said right part of said two parts;
- attaching hair of only one of said first or said second distinct shade to said first layer at, at least an area between said at least said left part and said right part and at least an area corresponding to a back of said head.
