Description

The present invention relates to a wig and a hair-growth member to be worn on a human head.

Hair transplantation may be performed on the scalp as a treatment when the hair is reduced due to various factors such as aging. Flocking gives a natural appearance, but it is difficult to cover large areas such as the entire head with flocking. For this reason, in many cases, wigs worn on the human head are widely used.

On the other hand, when the wig is attached, the outer edge portion of the wig base is particularly easy to see, and it becomes easy to recognize that the wig is attached. To deal with this problem, a wig having a plurality of outline filaments forming an interval for pulling out the hair has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP-A-2019-44295

In the wig described in Patent Document 1, an outline filament for pulling out the hair is formed on the temporal region, but a normal mesh surface portion is formed on the frontal region where the hair does not remain so much. There is. Therefore, in the frontal region, the outer edge portion of the wig base may be visually recognized and it may be recognized that the wig is worn.

Further, even when the hair-growth region is formed by using a hair-growth member such as a hair extension instead of the wig, there is a possibility that the attachment of the hair-growth member is similarly recognized at the outer edge portion of the hair-growth region.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is difficult to recognize that the wearer is wearing the outer edge even if the outer edge is placed in a region where the wearer's head does not have much hair left. , A wig or a hair thickening member.

Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The embodiments described below are for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following unless there is a specific description.
In each drawing, members having the same function may be designated by the same reference numeral. Although it may be divided into embodiments for convenience in consideration of explanation of the main points or ease of understanding, partial replacement or combination of the configurations shown in different embodiments is possible. The sizes and positional relationships of the members shown in each drawing may be exaggerated for the sake of clarity.

(Wig according to one embodiment)
First, a wig according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing a place where a wig according to one embodiment of the present invention is attached to a head having a flocked / thickened region. FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing a wig according to one embodiment of the present invention worn so as to be adjacent to a flocked / thickened region of the head.

The wig according to the present embodiment includes a wig base 4 and artificial hair G planted on the wig base 4. Although the whole head wig is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, it may be a partial wig. The wig base 4 is mainly composed of a face portion having a mesh. The entire surface of the wig base 4 may be composed of a face portion having a mesh, or for example, artificial skin or the like may be arranged in a region corresponding to a hair split portion. Further, there may be a wig base 4 provided with an area for pulling out the wearer's own hair.

In the present embodiment, the artificial hair G is bound to the filament of the mesh of the wig base 4. In that case, the artificial hair G can be tied to the mesh by any known knotting method. The artificial hair G attached to the wig base 4 is hereinafter referred to as "implanted artificial hair G" on the wig base 4. In addition, hair that is medically implanted in the scalp, as described later, is referred to as "hair transplanted in the scalp N". Further, the hair that originally grows (remains) on the scalp, not the transplanted hair, is referred to as "self-hair J". Further, the artificial hair G when the artificial hair G is tied to the remaining natural hair J or the hair extension having the artificial hair G is attached to the remaining natural hair J is described as "the artificial hair G by thickening hair". The artificial hair G planted on the wig base 4 and the artificial hair G due to the thickening may be the same artificial hair or different artificial hairs.

Flocking gives a natural look. In addition, a generally natural appearance can be obtained by binding the artificial hair to the remaining natural hair, or by attaching a hair extension having one or more artificial hairs attached to the string-shaped member to the remaining natural hair. However, it is difficult to cover a wide area of the head with flocking by either method of flocking or hair growth. On the other hand, if a wig is used, a wide range of the head can be covered, but the outer edge of the wig base is easily visible, and it is easy to recognize that the wig is worn.

Therefore, in the wig 2 according to the present embodiment, the advantages of the wig and the hair transplantation / hair growth are combined, and the wig base 4 is mounted so as to be adjacent to the hair transplantation / hair growth region SR of the wearer's head. At this time, the artificial hair G is planted in the region adjacent to the flocked / thickened region SR of the wig base 4 at the time of wearing.
As will be described in detail later, this can cover a wide area of the head and effectively suppress the visibility of the outer edge of the wig base 4 by using flocked or thickened hair. can.

<Formation of flocked / thickened area by flocking>
First, a case where hair is transplanted to the frontal region where little hair is left to form a hair transplant / hair growth region SR will be described. More specifically, the case where the flocked / thickened region SR is formed in a substantially arc shape in the region corresponding to the hairline of the frontal region will be described as an example.

Any known flocking method can be employed to form the flocked / thickened region SR. In general, there are two types of hair transplantation: a hair transplantation method using artificial hair and a hair transplantation method in which the remaining own hair is transplanted. When artificial hair is used, it is common to use a flocking needle to transplant the artificial hair one by one.

As a hair transplantation method for transplanting the remaining natural hair, FUE (Follicular Unit Exhibition: hair follicle line excision hair transplantation surgery) hair transplantation and FUT (Follicual Unit Transplantation: hair follicle line hair transplantation surgery) hair transplantation are known.

FUE flocking is a method of transplanting hair by hollowing out the area where hair remains with a sharp tubular blade. Since the scalp is not cut with a scalp, there is an advantage that no suture marks are left. Although it is difficult to cover many areas, it is possible to form a flocked / thickened region SR as shown.

FUT hair transplantation is a method in which the area where hair remains is cut into a band shape with a scalpel and transplanted. It can cover a wider area than FUE flocking, but leaves suture marks.

<Flocking by hair growth / formation of hair growth area>
Next, with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B, a case where hair is thickened in a region where a large amount of own hair does not remain to form a flocked / thickened region SR will be described. FIG. 3A is a diagram schematically showing a flocked / thickened region formed by connecting artificial hair to the remaining natural hair. FIG. 3B is a diagram schematically showing a flocked / thickened region formed by attaching a hair extension to the remaining hair.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the artificial hair can be linked to the remaining self-hair J to form a flocked / thickened region SR. In this case, the artificial hair G can be tied to the own hair J using any known binding method, whereby the knot T is formed. In order to bind the artificial hair G to the own hair to form the flocked / thickened region SR, it is preferable that a certain amount of the own hair J remains.

On the other hand, when the amount of the remaining own hair J is small, it is effective to use the hair extension 10 in which one or more artificial hairs G are bound to the string-shaped member. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3B, the artificial hair G of the hair extension 10 and the hair extension 10 are inserted into the fastener 12 made of a metal ring, the fastener 12 is crushed, and the hair extension 10 is used as the hair extension J. Can be attached. However, the method of attaching the hair extension 10 to the own hair J is not limited to this, and any other optional attachment method can be adopted.

As described above, when the hair transplantation / hair growth region SR is formed by connecting the artificial hair G to the remaining hair J, the hair transplantation has a natural appearance without medically transplanting hair to the scalp. / Hair growth region SR is obtained. Further, when the hair transplantation / hair growth region SR is formed by attaching the hair extension 10 having one or more artificial hairs G to the string-shaped member to the remaining hair J, the remaining hair J Even when the amount is relatively small, the flocked / thickened region SR can be efficiently formed.

The planar shape of the outer circumference of the flocked / thickened region SR formed by the above method is defined by the position of the hair root due to flocked or thickened hair. That is, it is defined by a curve or a straight line connecting the positions of the hair roots obtained by flocking or thickening. Therefore, the shape of the first region B1 adjacent to the wig base 4 of the hair transplantation / hair growth region SR is defined by a curve or a straight line connecting the positions of the hair roots due to the hair transplantation or hair growth.

On the other hand, the shape of the second region B2 adjacent to the first region B1 on the outer edge of the wig base 4 is formed to be substantially the same as the shape of the first region B1. As a result, when the wig base 4 is attached so as to be adjacent to the flocked / thickened region SR of the wearer's head, that is, the first region B1 of the flocked / thickened region SR and the second of the wig base 4. When arranged so as to match the region B2 of the wig, it is possible to form a state in which the hair continuously extends from the scalp side from the wig base 4 to the flocked / thickened region SR without creating a gap.

As described above, the wig 2 according to the present embodiment includes a wig base 4 mounted so as to be adjacent to the flocked / thickened region SR of the head, and a fake hair G planted on the wig base 4. , The shape of the first region B1 adjacent to the wig base 4 of the flocked / thickened region SR is defined by a curve or a straight line connecting the positions of the hairs N and G of the flocked / thickened region SR, and the wig base 4 The shape of the second region B2 adjacent to the first region B1 of the outer edge of the wig is substantially the same as the shape of the first region B1.

As a result, it is possible to form a state in which the hair continuously extends from the scalp side without creating a gap from the wig base 4 to the hair transplantation / hair growth region SR, so that the edge of the wig base 4 is difficult to see, and the wig 2 It becomes difficult to recognize that you are wearing a wig. Therefore, even if the outer edge portion is arranged in the region where the hair of the wearer of the wig does not remain so much, it is possible to provide the wig 2 in which the wearing of the wig is difficult to be recognized.

In particular, when the flocked / thickened region SR is located in the frontal region of the wearer as in the present embodiment, it is possible to effectively suppress the recognition of the wig wearing in the region that is easily noticeable. Can be done.

However, the flocked / thickened region SR may be formed not only in the frontal region but also in the occipital region or the temporal region. In either case, from the wig base 4 to the hair transplantation / hair growth region SR, it is possible to form a state in which the hair continuously extends from the scalp side without creating a gap, so that the edge of the wig base 4 is made difficult to see. Can be done.

(Flocking / hair growth area and wig-based hair density)
Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the hair density of the flocked / thickened region SR and the wig base 4 will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing the density of hair in the flocked / thickened region and the flocked / thickened region in the border region of the wig base and the density of artificial hair planted in the wig base.

In FIG. 4, the upper view schematically shows the cross section AA of FIG. 2, and the lower graph shows the density of hair in the corresponding region. In this graph, the anterior-posterior position of the head is shown on the horizontal axis, and the hair density at that position is shown on the vertical axis.

As is clear from FIG. 4, in the hair transplantation / hair growth region SR, the densities of hairs N and G increase from the front end side to the rear end, that is, as the hair N and G approach the wig base 4 from a position away from the wig base 4. ing. Then, in the hair transplantation / hair growth region SR and the boundary region of the wig base 4, the densities of the hairs N and G due to the hair transplantation or hair growth and the density of the artificial hair G planted on the wig base 4 are substantially the same.

Further, the density of the artificial hair G planted on the wig base 4 gradually increases from the outer edge portion of the wig base 4 adjacent to the flocked / thickened region SR toward the rear side. Further, in the hair transplantation / hair growth region SR and the boundary region of the wig base 4, whether the lengths of the hairs N and G due to the hair transplantation and hair growth and the length of the artificial hair G planted on the wig base 4 are substantially the same. At least close. For example, considering the thickness of the wig base 4, the length of the hairs N and G due to flocking or thickening is slightly larger than that of the artificial hair G planted on the wig base 4 by the thickness of the wig base 4. It can be as long as possible.

As described above, in the hair transplantation / hair growth region SR and the boundary region of the wig base 4, the densities of the hairs N and G in the hair transplantation / hair growth region SR and the density of the artificial hair G planted in the wig base 4 are substantially the same. In the case of, it is possible to effectively suppress the appearance of an unnatural appearance due to a step in the hair density in the hair transplantation / hair growth region SR and the boundary region of the wig base 4.

Further, when the density of hairs N and G in the hair transplantation / growth region SR increases from a position away from the wig base 4 toward the wig base 4, natural hair due to hair transplantation or hair growth N and G increases. The appearance of the wig 2 can be obtained, and the natural appearance can be connected to the area where the wig 2 is attached.

Further, in the case where the lengths of the hairs N and G in the flocked / thickened region SR and the length of the artificial hair G planted in the wig base 4 are similar in the border region of the flocked / thickened region SR and the wig base 4. From the flocked / thickened region SR to the wig base 4, a continuous appearance without steps or breaks can be obtained.

If the flocked hair is transplanted to form the flocked / thickened region SR, or if the flocked / thickened region SR is formed by flocking, the flocked hair G to be planted on the wig base 4 is flocked or flocked. It is preferable to use the same type of flocked hair as G.

(Wigs according to other embodiments)
Next, the wig according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically showing a wig according to another embodiment of the present invention in which a hair pull-in region of a flocked / thickened region is formed on an outer edge portion.

In the wig base 4 according to the present embodiment, the hairs N and G of the flocking / thickening region SR are surrounded by the filament 6 on the outside of the second region B2 adjacent to the first region B1 of the outer edge of the wig base 4. A pull-in region 8 is formed. As described above, in addition to being able to form a state in which the hair is continuously extended from the scalp side from the wig base 4 to the hair transplantation / hair growth region SR, the hair transplantation or hair growth is performed by pulling in the hairs N and G due to the hair transplantation or hair growth. The hair N, G and the wig base 4 can be more integrated. This makes it possible to obtain a more natural appearance.

(Hair growth member according to one embodiment)
If there is not much hair left on the head, it is preferable to wear the wig 2 as described above. On the other hand, if a certain amount of own hair remains on the head, a hair thickening member can be attached instead of the wig 2. The case where the hair-growth member according to one embodiment of the present invention is used will be described below with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically showing a place where the hair-growth region by the hair-growth member according to one embodiment of the present invention is arranged so as to be adjacent to the flocked region of the head. FIG. 7 is a diagram schematically showing the density of hair in the flocked region and the density of artificial hair in the flocked region at the boundary region between the flocked region and the flocked region. In FIG. 7, the upper figure schematically shows the cross section BB of FIG. 6, and the lower graph shows the density of hair in the corresponding region. In this graph, the anterior-posterior position of the head is shown on the horizontal axis, and the hair density at that position is shown on the vertical axis.

The hair-growth member according to the present embodiment is composed of artificial hair G attached to the hair remaining on the head or hair extension 20 attached to the hair remaining on the head. The hair extension 20 is formed by connecting one or more artificial hairs 20B to the string-shaped member 20A. Such a hair thickening member can be attached to the head by the method shown in FIG. 3A or FIG. 3B. FIG. 6 schematically shows a case where both the artificial hair G and the hair extension 20 are used.

The hair-growth members 20 and G form a hair-growth region ZR arranged so as to be adjacent to the flocked region SR of the head. Further, the shape of the first region B1 adjacent to the hair growth region ZR of the flocking region SR is defined by a curve or a straight line connecting the positions of the hair roots of the flocking region SR. On the other hand, the shape of the second region B2 adjacent to the first region B1 of the outer edge of the hair growth region ZR is a curved line or a straight line connecting the positions of the hair roots of the artificial hair G connected to the hair, or the hair. It is defined by the position of the string-shaped member 20A attached to the. The shape of the first region B1 and the shape of the second region B2 are substantially the same.

As a result, also in the present embodiment, it is possible to form a state in which the hair continuously extends from the scalp side from the hair growth region ZR to the hair transplantation region SR without creating a gap, so that the edge portion of the hair growth region ZR is difficult to see. Therefore, it becomes difficult to recognize that the hair-growth member is attached. Therefore, even if the outer edge portion is arranged in the region where the hair of the wearer's head does not remain so much, it is possible to provide the hair thickening members 20 and G that are difficult to recognize that the wearer is wearing the hair.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, in the boundary region between the flocked region SR and the flocked region ZR, the density of the hair N in the flocked region SR and the density of the artificial hairs 20B and G in the flocked region ZR are substantially the same. In some cases, it is possible to effectively suppress the appearance of an unnatural appearance due to a step in the hair density at the boundary region between the flocked region SR and the hair-growth region ZR.

Further, in the boundary region between the flocked region SR and the hair-growth region ZR, when the length of the hair N in the flocked region SR and the lengths of the artificial hairs 20B and G in the flocked region ZR are close to each other, the hair-flocked region to the hair-growth region A continuous appearance without steps or breaks can be obtained over ZR.

Although the embodiments and embodiments of the present invention have been described, the disclosed contents may be changed in the details of the configuration, and the present invention is requested to change the combinations and orders of the elements in the embodiments and embodiments. It can be realized without departing from the scope and ideas of.
