    Abstract: The device is a lightweight stretchable mesh base wig that provides full hair coverage and protection of a wearer's natural hair via an anti-skid system that securely holds the wig in a comfortable grip position without the use of adhesive, metal or non-porous plastic components. The wig device has a fixed micro hair-part for reducing manufacturing time and cost especially when the device is made of natural or human hair. The device has an anti-stress nape hair component that prevents tension and stress on a wearer's head and on the hair wefts at the lower back of the wig. The components are configured to allow the wig to be natural looking and highly undetectable and at low cost.

  • Publication number: 20140109924
    Abstract: An artificial hair fiber is provided that is easy to curl or set. An artificial hair fiber is usually formed and processed within a temperature range from 90 to 150° C. The artificial hair fiber has a storage elastic modulus E? in the formation temperature range. A ratio (E?90/E?150) of a storage elastic modulus E? at a temperature of 90° C. to a storage elastic modulus E? at a temperature of 150° C. is 3 to 20. By this means, the artificial hair fiber can be well curled or transformed, maintaining a desired dynamic characteristic without being melted. The artificial hair fiber can be formed and processed into such a curled hair, so that it is possible to provide a hairpiece product that meets the fashion needs of users.
