Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved hair piece and to a method of fixing a hair piece to the head of a person.
  • Australian Patents 495956 and 578904 describe apparatus and methods for attaching a hair piece to the head of a person.
  • Australian patent 495956 describes a method of attaching a hairpiece wherein groups of strands of glandular hair are pulled through apertures in the ribbon portion of the foundation of the hair piece. These groups of strands of glandular hair are subsequently knotted together and a bonding agent applied to the knot. The bonding agent serves to prevent the strands from unknotting and to thereby
  • SUBSTITUTE SHEET maintain the hair piece in position on the wearer's head.
  • Australian patent 578904 teaches another method of attaching a hair piece to the head of a person.
  • the hair piece is fitted with a plurality of deformable elongated tubes along the peripheral ribbon of the hair piece. Strands of glandular hair are passed through the tubular elements and then each tubular element is deformed. In this way the strands of glandular hair are retained in the tubular elements and the hair piece is fixed to the head of the wearer.
  • the invention also seeks to provide a softer transition between the scalp of the wearer and the hair piece itself in areas of the head where there is no glandular hair.
  • a hair piece to the head of a person, said hair piece comprising a centre portion which is surrounded by an adherent track, said method comprising:
  • a hair piece to the head of a person, said hair piece comprising a centre portion which is surrounded by an adherent track, said method comprising:
  • the portion of glandular hair on the person's head is formed by
  • adherent is applied to the line or the track of glandular hair on the person's head and on a portion of the adherent track which is arranged to lie over said line or track of glandular hair when the hair piece is positioned on the person's head.
  • strands of hair are adhered to the scalp or to hair stubble on the area of the person's head to which the hair piece is not already adhered.
  • the strands of hair are attached on an area of the person's head which is bounded by a line coincident with the periphery of the adherent track of the hair piece when it is positioned on the person's head.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of a foundation of a hair piece
  • Figure 2 is a side view of a man to whom a hair piece is to be attached.
  • Figure 3 is the front view of another man to whom a hair piece is to be attached.
  • Figure 1 shows a hair piece comprising a foundation 10 having natural or synthetic hair attached thereto.
  • the foundation 10 comprises a central net portion 12 and a peripheral adherent track 14.
  • the foundation 10 and the adherent track 14 are dimensioned such that when the hair piece is placed on the wearer's head the adherent track 14 is located over a region of glandular hair 16 on the wearer's head.
  • the first step in the method is to ensure that the hair piece chosen for the wearer is of the correct size. Once the correct size of hair piece has been chosen the wearer's head must be marked to show the exact position of the periphery 18 of the foundation 10 when the hair piece is correctly positioned on the wearer's head. The exact position of the hair piece on the wearer's head can be marked using a wax pencil. A line 19 is drawn with the wax pencil just inside the line of contact of the periphery 18 of the foundation 10 on the wearer's head. Using this line 19 as a guide, clippers or scissors can be used to trim the hair above the line 19.
  • This area of trimmed hair forms a track 20 of glandular hair. It is over track 20 that the adherent track 14 of the hair piece is subsequently adhered.
  • the hair of track 20 should be trimmed to a fine stubble so as to ensure good bonding between the adherent, the hair stubble of track 20 and the adherent track 14.
  • the track 20 of glandular hair should be of a width similar to the width of the adherent track 14 on the foundation 10. Track 20 should extend, where possible, around the wearer's head. As shown in Figure 2 the track 20 extends from temple to temple of the wearer.
  • the wearer's head is then cleaned with an appropriate solution, e.g. alcohol to ensure proper bonding between the track 20 of glandular hair, the scalp and the hair piece.
  • an appropriate solution e.g. alcohol
  • a small amount of adherent is then applied to the track 20 of glandular hair and to the adherent track 14 of the foundation 10.
  • Adherent on the track 20 of glandular hair should be applied using a back and forth motion.
  • the final brush stroke of adherent on the track 20 should be made in the direction of hair growth. This will ensure the wearer's comfort as the hair grows.
  • the hair piece is positioned onto the wearer's head with the adherent track 14 overlying the track 20 of glandular hair.
  • gentle pressure should be applied to the area of the track 20 so as to ensure a good bond between the scalp, the glandular hair and the hair piece.
  • FIG. 1 the portion of the adherent track 14 which is actually adhered to the track 20 of glandular hair is die cross-hatched portion labelled as 14a.
  • Portion 14a of the adherent track 14 is of a length sufficient to surround the wearer's head from temple to temple.
  • the portion of the adherent track 14 which is not adhered to the wearer's head is labelled as portion 14b. If the hair piece was attached to the wearer shown in Figure 2, the portion 14b of the adherent track would be positioned over the forehead area of the wearer. This part of the hair piece (the front part) is conventionally attached to the wearer's scalp using double sided adhesive tape.
  • the hair piece must first be attached to the wearer's head as previously described. With the hair piece attached to the wearer's head along the portion of the adherent track 14a the unadhered portion of the hair piece is placed in position on the wearer's head.
  • a second line 22 ( Figure 3) is then drawn with a wax pencil just inside the periphery of the unadhered portion 14b of the adherent track 14. In the examples shown in Figures 2 and 3 this line would extend above the forehead from the right hand temple of the wearer to the left hand temple.
  • the line 22 defines a limit over which adherent may not be applied.
  • a typical area over which adherent is applied is shown in Figure 3 and labelled as area 26. Area 26 is bounded by line 22 and line 23. Adherent should not be applied over or outside of the line 22 because any adherent positioned outside the line 22 will be visible when the hair piece is in position.
  • strands of hair can be arranged on the area.
  • a group of hair strands 28 are shown attached to area 26.
  • the hair can be arranged in any manner but it should be done with a view that the hair should look as realistic and as natural as possible. It should be remembered that the function of this hair is to soften the transition line between the scalp and the underside of the foundation 10.
  • the final layer of adherent should be applied.
  • the adherent is dry double sided tape is used to secure the front part of the hair piece over the strands of hair.
  • the strands of hair are thereby positioned between the wearer's scalp and the underside of the foundation 10. Once the hair piece is properly secured over the strands of hair the strands can be cut and styled to a natural appearance.
  • These strands of hair are generally lighter and finer in texture than the hair used in the hair piece.
  • the strands of hair should remain attached for around 2 weeks.
  • the attachment of the hair piece along track 20 should remain secure for between 3 to 6 weeks. The time period over which the hair piece remains secure to the track 20 depends greatly on the rate at which the glandular hair grows. If the growth of glandular hair is fast it will be necessary to reattach the hair piece more often.
  • SU3STITUTE SHEET To remove the hair piece it is simply lifted away from the head of the wearer and clippers inserted therebetween to cut the hair piece away from the glandular hair. Once this is done the hair piece must be properly washed ready for reattachment. Meanwhile any adherent left on the client's hair and scalp should be removed using a suitable solvent. This solvent should be worked along the perimeter of the glandular hair rather than into the body of the hair itself. If sufficient hair growth has occurred a new track 20 should be cut into the wearer's hair. The hair piece can then be attached in the manner described previously. It is optional to leave a small area 30 of the adherent track 14 unattached to the scalp. This area 30 would generally be positioned at the back of the hair piece and provides a drainage area through which shampoo etc. may drain from between the scalp and the underside of the foundation 10.
  • the method of attachment described herein is particularly advantageous because die hair piece is attached along a continuous track. This provides a more secure attachment and makes the hair piece more comfortable to wear. This comfort arises because any stress applied to the hair piece is transferred to a greater area of the scalp rather than to individual hairs as with previous attachment methods. Furthermore, the attachment of the hair piece is such that the hair piece is more securely fitted to the head and is shaped to sit against the scalp of the wearer. This provides a more natural appearance for the hair piece. The individual strands of hair placed along the front hair line soften the transition between the scalp and the underside of the foundation.
