The wig is manufactured by implanting hairs or groups of hairs in elongated strips which comprise the wig base. These elongated strips may be part of a monolithic structure in which they are connected together by bridges to form a cap or the hairs or groups of hairs may be supported on elongated members which are attached to strips by adhesive agents or by high-frequency heating or the like. The elongated members bearing the hair may also be attached to strips or lace belts by means of hooks.

    Abstract: A hair material for a wig is preliminarily curled and then bound to a wig base to thereby orient the curled hair in a definite direction. A folded part (10c) of a hair material (10) is penetrated from one side of a filament (15) to the other side under a wig base (12) so that a first loop (17) is formed in the inner side of the folded part (10c). A curved part (10d) is inserted though the first loop (17) so that a second loop (19) is formed in the inner side of the curved part (10d). A part (10b) of the hair material is inserted through the second loop (19). Next, the hair material parts (10a, 10b) are pulled in directions opposite to each other and tied with the filament (15) to (20). Thus, the hair material (10) is bound to the filament (15).

    Abstract: An adhesive for a wig, a wig using the same, and methods of manufacturing the both are such that the adhesive for a wig has a single layer, is bondable unpeelably to the inner side of a wig base, and is bondable by pressure re-peelably to scalp, wherein the adhesive layer (4) is provided to fix needle foot portions of hair (3) penetrated to the inner side of the wig base (2). One side of the adhesive layer (4) is bondable by chemical reaction to the inner side of the wig base (2) during gelation reaction of the adhesive solution applied to the inner side of the wig base (2), while the other side is bondable by pressure re-peelably to scalp. One side of the adhesive layer (4) has the hair fixing function to fix the needle foot portion of hair (3A) planted penetrating the inner side of the wig base (2). Since the wig (1) is made as double layer structure with a single adhesive layer (4), it is light-weighted, and since the adhesive layer (4) has re-peelability, it can be used repeatedly, resulting in low cost.
