  • Patent number: 7331351
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to wigs and manufacturing them. Methods are described in which an attachment fiber, in certain embodiments having adhesive properties, is used to secure the hair to the wig base. In certain embodiments the attachment fiber's outer layer is melted to form an adhesive while the inner layer or layers are not melted and retain their strength. The attachment fiber can then be secured to the wig base in a way which permits the permanent setting of the hair's direction and is less visible than conventional methods at the hairline.
