Definitions

  • This invention relates to a wig capable of providing bulky appearance enough with a small amount of hair tied on a wig base, tying a certain amount of hair to a wig base at a pre-determined density by accurate control, and mixing long and short hairs uniformly by controlling to a pre-determined proportion, and to a method of manufacturing the same.
  • a wig with natural appearance by changing the lengths of hair tied to a wig base has been known.
  • Such a wig 20 is made, for example as shown in FIG. 8 , with a network formed with filaments 24 as a net base, and by attaching to said net base long hair 30 a , short hair 30 b , and the hair of the length in between 30 c .
  • This hair is knotted to the net-shaped filament 24 to form knots 26 .
  • the wig 20 shown in FIG. 8 has hairs of unequal lengths, sizes, and the colors so that it attains natural hair appearance (See Patent Reference 1.).
  • Patent Reference 2 discloses a wig using alternately lined long and short hairs.
  • a strand of hair is, or a few hairs bundled together are bent at the center, and said bent position is knotted to a net base, then a pair of hairs extending upward from the knotted base portions are divided left and right in a relatively wide angle.
  • the hair split to left and right does not extend upward but lie on the net base along its surface, and especially, the tip portions of hair almost totally lie and extend along the net base surface. Therefore, it is difficult to attain bulkiness caused by the standing hair, and also the wig base is visible if the tied amount is small.
  • tying density the amount of tied hair (tying density) depending upon which part of the wig. For example, as tying 100% amount of hair on the top region, while 80 to 70% in the surrounding region to make natural appearance, tying 50% in a particular region to harmonize with the wearer's own remaining hair, or adjusting the amount by the client's request, tying is done at each specific portion of a wig base for a certain density according to preference or symptom.
  • the pre-determined density is designed as, for example, 70% in a particular region of a wig
  • tying 70% density from the beginning causes partially spotty pattern
  • using a thinning scissors to make short hair causes poor appearance with the density lower than the designated value or a marked spotty pattern. Therefore, the workers improve the hair standing by making short hair using a thinning scissors after tying 90 to 100% to a wig base, so that the final density is adjusted to about 70%, but it is quite difficult work as described above.
  • One of the objects of the present invention is, in view of the above-mentioned problems, to provide a wig with a desired bulky appearance by hair standing, by accurately tying the amount of hair to be tied on a wig base according to the pre-determined density upon the wig manufacture, controlling the ratio of the amounts of long and short hairs in said density to the pre-determined value, and by tying to the wig base said long and short hairs controlling uniform mixing with good harmony.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a wig for easy tying work of short hair among respective hair.
  • a wig in accordance with the present invention comprises a wig base, and the hair consisting of either human or artificial hair tied thereon, characterized in that the hair comprises short and long hairs, which are tied to the wig base in the pre-determined amount, as well as in the pre-determined controlled ratio.
  • said short and long hairs are characterized in that they have different curl diameters, and said short hair is tied in the controlled ratio of 20 to 50% of the amount to be tied to the wig base.
  • the pre-determined hair amount (the number of hair strands) can be tied to each specific part of the wig base
  • a wig is provided which is rich in quite natural appearance with the different hair amount tied depending upon symptom, or to each part of the wig base.
  • a wig is also provided on which short and long hairs are tied, respectively, controlled in the pre-determined ratio, and hence the hair volume appearance can be realized at each different part, as well as with good hair standing.
  • the short hair made among long hair by cutting long hair is allocated in the pre-determined ratio, for example, in 20 to 50%, the root portions of long hair are supported by the short hair allocated around them, and hence the long hair has good standing, and the exposure of the wig base is prevented.
  • the lengths of short hairs are not equal, each length is less than half of long hair, and they have non-uniform hair length distribution within the range of 1 to 5 cm.
  • short hair can be allocated with arbitrarily different lengths, the pre-determined hair length distribution and natural standing of the tied hair can be achieved.
  • said short hair is curly hair, and its curl diameter is shorter than that of long hair, the root portions of long hair are firmly supported by the short hair of small curl diameter, so that the standing is more improved, and the long hair of relatively large curl diameter is curled naturally.
  • short and long hairs are mutually mixed and allocated about uniformly, so that respective colors are sufficiently mixed, thereby the color appearance which could not be achieved by conventional tying methods is brought about, and color gradation can be formed. Further by giving gradient to the distribution density of short hair, or by giving length distribution to short hair, even more natural color gradation can be formed.
  • short and long hairs have different diameters, for example, hair of larger diameter is used as short hair, long hair is supported more firmly by short hair, resulting in better standing of long hair, and increase of total volume of the wig with smaller amount of hair, thereby its appearance is improved.
  • the first constitution of a method of manufacturing a wig of the present invention is characterized to include a first step of tying hair to a wig base, a second step of cutting each hair tied at the first step to a short hair of a pre-determined length, and a third step of tying long hair thereafter among said short hair on the wig base.
  • the second constitution of a method of manufacturing a wig of the present invention is characterized to include a first step of designing a mixing ratio of short and long hairs to be tied to a wig base to a pre-determined value, and tying the hair to be short hair to the wig base at said pre-determined ratio, a second step of cutting each hair tied at the first step to a short hair of a pre-determined length, and a third step of tying the hair to be long hair among short hair on said wig base in said pre-determined ratio.
  • the hair to be short hair is tied by controlling, for example, to 20 to 50% of the hair amount tied to a wig base in the pre-determined ratio, and so cutting as to realize the hair length distribution after cutting each hair to the short hair of a pre-determined length. It is also preferred that the second step is making the length of each short hair to the half or less of said long hair, and non-uniform within the range of 1 to 5 cm. Further, the third step may be tying long hair controlling the pre-determined ratio of the pre-determined density with the already tied short hair.
  • the hair tied to a wig base at the first step is cut to short hair of a pre-determined length at the second step. Therefore, long hair the tying work of which is easy can be tied at the first step. Thereafter, it is cut short to a pre-determined length at the second step, so that short hair can be easily tied in controlled pre-determined ratio, and work can be completed in short time, thereby productivity is improved.
  • Long hair is controlled to the pre-determined ratio and distributed by tying long hair to a wig base after forming short hair at the second step. Therefore, unlike the case of cutting with a conventional thinning scissors, short hair is not allocated in a spotty pattern, and the natural appearance is improved, as well as the short hair distribution density can be given gradient.
  • the mixing ratio of short and long hairs to be tied to a wig base can be adjusted, and designed properly, so that tying work can be conducted easily by controlling to a pre-determined ratio with the desired standing appearance.
  • the hair tied to a wig base is cut to short hair of a pre-determined length at the second step. Therefore, as tying, long hair of easier tying work can be tied. Thereafter, it is cut short to a pre-determined length, so that short hair can be tied by controlling to a pre-determined ratio to long hair at the pre-determined density, and said tying step is possible in short time resulting in the improved productivity.
  • the hair amount to be tied to a wig base can be controlled to a desired value upon the wig designing depending upon the state of hair thinning, or upon consultation with the wearer, and the distribution of long and short hairs or the short hair lengths can be designed and adjusted arbitrarily and at will, resulting in the manufacture of wigs along the wearer's detailed needs.
  • a quite excellent wig can be provided with good hair standing and bulkiness by tying short and long hairs to a wig base by controlling the mixing ratio to a pre-determined value.
  • a method of manufacturing a wig of the present invention easily tiable long hair is tied by controlling to a pre-determined ratio, and thereafter short hair is formed by cutting it, so that a wig with short and long hairs can be easily manufactured in short time.
  • the hair density (the number of strands of hairs) of tying to a wig base can be determined to a pre-determined density at each part of a wig base upon the wig designing. Also, short and long hairs can be tied in a pre-determined mixing ratio and at strictly controlled tying positions. Therefore, tying work can be efficiently conducted, as well as a plurality of wigs can be provided which are mutually identical in the amount and distribution of hairs, and practically identical in hair standing and external appearance. Therefore, a wig wearer can possess identical wigs as reserves.
