Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wig to be worn to a head in full or in part, and more specifically, to a wig comprising a wig base and curled hair materials fixed to the wig base.
  • hair materials used for wigs have generally been straight hairs.
  • hair styles there are a variety of hair styles.
  • an elegant and unique fashionableness in hair styles as well as increase of hair in volume is quite often required, and it is difficult to meet such requirements of various hair styles with straight hairs, which only provide a rather low flexibility,.
  • a hair material is folded into two, the folded portion is fastened to the front portion of a wig base, the hair material is curled or turned over toward in the outward direction, and then the curled hair material is set to wave from the front side toward the rear side of the wig base.
  • the folded portion 1a of each hair material 1 is already fixed to a wig base 2 as shown in Fig. 21 , so it is impossible to secure a sufficient length for the remaining hair piece 1b to impart curl thereto.
  • the hair piece 1b can not be sufficiently wound around a curl imparting means 3 such as a rod or a curler, and it is likely to result in loose curl, making it rather difficult to impart a predetermined curl diameter.
  • imparting curl through post-processing is the same way as perming the natural hair, it takes time and effort, resulting in a rather low efficiency.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the above problem. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wig allowing orientation of the curl of a hair material in a predetermined direction after being fastened to a wig base even in the case of hair material curled in advance. Another object of the present invention is to provide a wig capable of maintaining the curl imparted to the hair pieces for a long period of time.
  • a wig according to the present invention comprises a wig base to be worn to a head; and a large number of hair materials fastened to the wig base, each being a pair of hair pieces folded into two, wherein curls are imparted in advance to the pair of hair pieces before being fastened to the wig base, wherein a folded portion of the pair of hair pieces is fixed to the wig base while tips of the pair of hair pieces are being oriented to a predetermined direction with respect to the wig base, thereby the curls of the pair of hair pieces are oriented to a predetermined direction after being fixed to the wig base.
  • the fixation of the hair material to the wig base can be effected by fastening, transplanting, etc.
  • the hair material is fixed to the wig base by fastening the folded portion between the two hair pieces to a filament of the net.
  • the hair material is fixed to the wig base by fastening or transplanting the folded portion between the two hair pieces to the filament.
  • the curls of the pair of hair pieces may be imparted by a method comprising the steps of applying a first cold permanent liquid to the weft containing a predetermined number of the hair materials in each of a predetermined number of pitches and impregnating a sheet of non-woven fabric with water; placing the weft on the sheet and combing the weft to thereby uniformly distribute the hair materials on the sheet; winding the weft and the sheet integrally around a pipe; keeping them in this state sealed in a bag for a predetermined period of time; applying a second cold permanent liquid to the hair materials extracted from the bag after the predetermined period of time has elapsed; winding the weft and the sheet integrally around the pipe; keeping them in this state for further predetermined period of time; and washing in water the weft wound off after the further predetermined period of time has elapsed.
  • the curls of the pair of hair pieces may be imparted by a method comprising the steps of applying a conditioner for chemical fibers to the weft containing a predetermined number of the hair materials in each of a predetermined number of pitches; placing the weft on a sheet of one of non-woven fabric and paper and combing the weft to thereby uniformly distribute the hair materials on the sheet; winding the weft and the sheet integrally around a pipe; and heating them in this state for a predetermined period of time.
  • the curls of the pair of hair pieces may be imparted by a method comprising the steps of impregnating the weft containing a predetermined number of the hair materials in each of a predetermined number of pitches and a sheet of non-woven fabric with an aqueous solution of silicon emulsion; placing the weft on the sheet and combing the weft to thereby uniformly distribute the hair materials on the sheet; winding the weft and the sheet integrally around a pipe and covering them with an aluminum foil; and heating them in this state for a predetermined period of time.
  • the curls of the pair of hair pieces may be imparted by a method comprising the steps of: immersing the weft containing a predetermined number of the hair materials in each of a predetermined number of pitches and a sheet of non-woven fabric in an aqueous solution of silicon emulsion; placing the weft on the sheet material and combing the weft to thereby uniformly distribute the hair materials on the sheet material; winding the weft and the sheet integrally around a pipe and drying them; and heating them in this state for a predetermined period of time.
  • the third and fourth steps of the just prior embodiment may be replaced with the steps of: winding the weft and the sheet integrally around a pipe and covering them with an aluminum foil; and heating them in this state for a predetermined period of time.
  • hairs of synthetic resin such as acrylic resin, modacrylic resin or polyamide resin.
  • a filament or a sheet-shaped base obtained by knitting synthetic fibers (chemical fibers), vegetable fibers, animal fibers, etc. into a net-like form.
  • synthetic fibers such as nylon or polyester.
  • non-woven fabric, paper, etc. are suitable.
  • a plurality of hair materials cut in a predetermined length are preferably arranged at intervals, and sewn together at appropriate positions in the length direction of the hair materials to form a sewn bundle.
  • the lateral width of the weft is too large, it is rather difficult to apply uniform tension to the winding pipe member in the operation of winding it around the winding pipe member. It is thus desirable for the lateral width of the weft to be 20 cm or less.
  • a conditioner is applied to the weft to improve the texture thereof.
  • a conditioner for chemical fibers containing 20 to 30 % of a surface-active agent composed of nonions, cations or a mixture thereof.
  • the content of the surface-active agent exceeds 30 %, the surface of the hair material 10 becomes sticky or the tone thereof is changed during the heat treatment after the imparting of curl.
  • the content of the surface-active agent is less than 20 %, an improvement in texture after the imparting of curl is hardly to be observed.
  • the direction of the curl of the hair pieces is determined depending upon the direction in which the hair materials are fastened to the wig base, and a predetermined hair design results. For example, when the hair materials are fixed to the wig base in a state in which they are aligned in the same direction, the curl of the hair pieces of these hair materials is aligned in the same direction. When a large number of hair materials are fastened to the wig base in fixed amounts in different directions, the curls of the hair pieces of these hair materials are oriented in different directions. Thus, through appropriate selection of hair material fixing directions with respect to the wig base, it is possible to obtain wigs for a variety of hair designs.
  • the hair materials are fixed to the wig base with their directions determined, so the direction of the curl of the hair pieces is determined.
  • the hair material attachment it is possible to apply the wig not only to a basic hair design, but also to a complicated hair design with intermingled curl directions, making it possible to attain a hair design of high degree of freedom.
  • the curl direction is not fixed even if the hair materials are combed and which is rather poor in terms of design, it is possible to obtain a product that is more perfect as such.

  • Fig. 8(b) is an enlarge view of the weft 14.
  • the weft 14 thus formed has a plurality of sewn bundles 32.
  • a lateral width 6L of the weft 14 shown in Fig. 8(a) is too large, it is rather difficult to apply a uniform tension to an aluminum pipe member 33 in the operation described below of winding the weft 14 around the pipe member 33, so it is desirable for the width to be 20cm or less.
  • Sewing marks 34 of sewing thread 16 are left in the hair materials 10 in the process described below (see Fig. 16 ), so the position where the sewing marks 34 of the sewing thread 16 are left constitutes the folding position in fastening the hair materials 10 to the wig base 12.
  • the weft 14 thus formed it is desirable for the weft 14 thus formed to contain 8 to 10 sewn bundles 32 per centimeter, and it is desirable for each sewn bundle 32 to contain 12 to 27 hair materials 10. If the number of sewn bundles 32 per centimeter were less than eight, the pitch of the sewn bundles 32 would be too large, making it impossible to uniformly distribute the hair materials 10 shown in Fig. 10 . Further, it would be difficult to wind the hair materials 10 around the pipe member 33 at a fixed angle. Further, when combing the weft 14 prior to the winding so as to make it straight, the hair materials 10 would be likely to be detached to the sewn bundles 32.
  • Figs. 9 and 11(a) show a state in which a first cold permanent liquid has been sufficiently applied to the weft 14 formed as described above and in which the weft 14 has been placed at a predetermined position on a sheet material 35 moistened and spread on a working table.
  • the weft 14 is combed so as to make it straight, so the hair materials 10 are aligned in a row with no gap therebetween as shown in Figs. 10 and 11 (b) , thereby reducing the thickness of the weft 14.
  • the sheet material 35 serves as a guide when winding the weft 14 around the pipe member 33. At the time of use, it is moistened and spread over and held in intimate contact with the working table so as to involve no wrinkles.
  • non-woven fabric is preferable since it increases in surface frictional force when moistened to prevent slippage. When it involves slippage when moistened, it may cause spinning or generate a gap between the weft and the aluminum pipe member 33 around which it is wound, resulting in loose curl.
  • the material of the non-woven fabric for the sheet material 35 rayon or polyester is preferable. More preferably, a weight per unit area [metuske] of 18 to 30 g/m 2 is adopted. When the weight per unit area [metuske] is 18 g/m 2 or less, the density of the sheet material is rather small, and the cold permanent liquid applied to the weft 14 is easily vaporized, making it impossible to impart curl to a sufficient degree. Further, at the time of operation of winding it around the pipe member 33, the sheet material 35 is likely to suffer damage when tension is applied thereto.
  • the thickness of the sheet material 35 is rather large, so that when it is wound around the pipe member 33, a rather large diameter results as the winding diameter increases, and the tuft 14 is likely to assume loose curl, which is weaker than curl of a predetermined configuration.
  • an aluminum pipe member 33 with a circular sectional configuration is placed at one end of the sheet material 35, and the weft 14 and the sheet material 35 are wound integrally around the pipe 33 while applying tension thereto, as shown in Figs. 13 and 14 , fixing the outer center and both side ends of the tuft 14 by a fixing means 36, such as an adhesive tape or a rubber band.

  • the fixing means 36 is released, and washing in flowing water is effected while gradually releasing the weft 14 and the sheet 35 wound around the pipe member 33, and the sheet material 35 is spread over the working table so as to involve no wrinkles.
  • the washed weft 14 is arranged at a predetermined position on the sheet material 35, and hair rinse or conditioner is applied to the weft 14.
  • the application of the rinse or conditioner is effected for the purpose of achieving an improvement in terms of texture since the texture of the hair materials 13 that have undergone treatment with the cold permanent liquid is rather hard.
  • the weft 14 is combed by the same process as that of Fig. 10 , and the hair materials 10 are uniformly distributed so as to involve no gaps therebetween and to be aligned in a row, thereby reducing the thickness of the weft 14.

  • the sheet material 35 serves as a guide in winding the weft 14 around the pipe member 33, and when in use, it is spread over and held in intimate contact with the working table so as to involve no wrinkles.
  • the weft 14 is combed so as to make it straight, so the hair materials 10 are aligned in a row with no gap therebetween as shown in Figs. 10 and 11(b) , thereby reducing the thickness of the weft 14.
  • non-woven fabric or paper is suitable.
  • the weight per unit area [metuske] thereof is 40 to 50 g/m 2 .
  • the density of the sheet material 35 is rather low, and heat is allowed to be conducted quickly at the time of heat treatment to impart curl.
  • the uppermost layer of the weft 14 wound around the aluminum pipe member 33 is excessively heated, and shrinkage occurs in the portion, resulting in a rather poor outward appearance, which leads to a product of no commercial value.
  • the weight per unit area [metuske] is 50 g/m 2 or more
  • the thickness of the non-woven fabric or paper increases, so that when wound around the pipe member 33, it increases in diameter as the winding diameter increases.
  • the weft 14 is likely to result in loose curl, which is weaker than curl of a predetermined configuration.
  • the density of the non-woven fabric or paper is rather high, so that the heat is cut off at the time of heat treatment to impart curl, and the requisite heat for curling is not applied, which is likely to lead to so-called loose curl, which is weaker than curl of a predetermined configuration.
  • the conditioner for chemical fibers applied to the weft 14 is used for the purpose of achieving an improvement in terms of texture since chemical fiber hairs become harder after the imparting of curl.
  • As the conditioner it is desirable to adopt one containing 20 to 30 % of a surface-active agent composed of nonions or cations or a mixture thereof.
  • the content of the surface-active agent exceeds 30 %, the surface of the hair materials 10 become sticky of a change in tone is involved in the heat treatment after the imparting of curl.

  • the weight per unit area [metuske] is 30 g/m 2 or more, the thickness of the sheet material 35 increases, so that when it is wound around the pipe member 33, its diameter increases as the winding diameter increases, with the result that the weft 14 is likely to assume loose curl, which is weaker than curl of a predetermined configuration.
  • the non-woven fabric for the sheet material 35 it is desirable to adopt one that increases in surface friction force when moistened to thereby prevent slippage. If the surface of the sheet material 35 is slippery when moistened, spinning occurs when it is wound around the aluminum pipe member 33, and a gap is generated between the pipe member 33 and the weft 14 wound around it, which leads to loose curl.
  • the material of the non-woven fabric is preferably rayon or polyester, as described above, with the weight per unit area [metuske] thereof being preferably 18 to 30 g/m 2 .
  • the silicon emulsion is used for the purpose of imparting curl to the hair material 10 and imparting smoothness and a deep color effect to the hair material surface.
