Abstract: Artificial hair for hair-implantation, which is composed of a monofilament of a synthetic resin, wherein amorphous silver is adhered in spots to the surface of the monofilament by vacuum depositing said silver of the monofilament.

Abstract: An artificial eyebrow is set forth wherein a flexible, polymeric membrane includes a matrix of human hair filaments adhesively mounted about rows of base filaments in staggered array to simulate human spacing of hair follicles. The membrane includes an adhesive base with a peel-away strip mounted thereon. The degree of fullness of the eyebrow may be effected by utilizing alternating rows of varying thickness hair follicles mounted to the base filaments.

Abstract: A wig including an artificial scalp portion and artificial hair planted thereon. The scalp portion and hair are both composed of fiber filaments formed of a fine powder of a single type or composite type of inorganic or organic substance with excellent heat releasing characteristics and of synthetic fibers, natural fibers, natural hair or regenerated fibers. The fine powder is mixed in the fibers, or those fibers are coated with the powder, using a synthetic resin adhesive for obtaining the fiber filaments. The inorganic powder may be a metallic powder including copper, titanium oxide, aluminum iron, zirconium or ceramic as the primary component, and organic powder may be a powder having synthetic resins or natural fibers as the primary components.

Abstract: A process for lengthening the hair of persons having short hair and for thickening the hair for those having a relatively snall amount of hair, which process comprises the steps of aligning supplemental hair with the natural hair, adhering the supplemental hair to the natural hair utilizing a colored thermpolastic glue, intertwining the warm adhered natural and supplemental hair together to permit a binding of the supplemental to the natural hair, and then styling the combined hair. A technique for preparing the thermoplastic glue is also disclosed.

Abstract: A hair ornament and method of manufacturing such hair ornament comprising a plurality of spaced fiber strands each composed of a number of gradually curled synthetic fibers laid parallel to each other. Each of the fiber strands has a formed portion in which fibers extending toward one end thereof are spread horizontally and bent while being partly overlapped. The formed portions of the fiber strands are partly superposed on adjacent ones and arranged into a bowl-shaped configuration as a whole, the fibers including adjacent fibers fixed to each other by an adhesive applied over the entire area of the hair ornament and fixing the fibers in the formed shape.

Abstract: A method of making a hairpiece base by which the hairpiece is fitted so as to promote the formation of a vacuum between the base of the hairpiece and the scalp of the wearer. The base is contoured and formed about its periphery so that the base is slightly smaller around its periphery than the corresponding portion of the wearer's scalp. This reduction in size creates a slight compressive force upon the wearer's scalp which aids in establishing a vacuum. The vacuum formed by expelling the air from under the base effectively seals the covered portion of the scalp to the base causing the hairpiece to adhere to the wearer, eliminating the need for adhesives.

Abstract: A method of making a permanently attached doll wig integrating a high pile, backed piece of material and strands of synthetic doll hair rooted through both the material and the doll head. Initially, the material is attached to the doll head pile side down by a line of stitching. The material is then folded over and held in place by an adhesive and permanently secured by rooting strands of synthetic doll hair through both the material and the doll head. Rooting some synthetic doll hair directly into the doll head adjacent to, but beyond, the edges of the material, obscures the edges.

Abstract: A synthetic fiber filament usable for the manufacture of wigs, comprising, in cross section, a center portion, and connected thereto and extending outwardly therefrom three substantially rectangular portions. The novel structure provides unexpectedly good and durable tight curls and bulkness.

Abstract: A composite hair simulating fiber with characteristics similar to human hair which includes a metallic core member coated with a plastic material to form a fine strand, the core member and/or the coating member being flattened to provide a strand which will have a curling characteristic with a self-retaining form which can be readily styled by an operator to provide various curves and convolutions as desired similar to that capable in human hair but with greater extension and retention properties.

Abstract: A hairpiece in the form of an elongated strip of natural or synthetic hair adapted to be attached to a woman's natural hair to form bangs, either alone or with a woman's existing bangs to provide a fuller look, to provide a more pleasing effect, and to permit changing of existing hairdo's to one with bangs or one without bangs as desired.

Abstract: A hair weaving tension system utilizing a thread supply tension device (note FIG. 1) comprising a vertical support pole having three spools of thread separately housed within three tension members which resist and control and thereby tension the thread as it is pulled by the operator for use in weaving bands of hair on the head of a person as a hair styling technique (note FIG. 4). The resistance or tension on each thread is produced by a cylindrical housing having a thread opening therein and a mating, cylindrically surfaced bearing member which bears against the housing and thereby against the thread coming through the thread opening (note FIGS. 2 and 3). The frictional drag on the thread can be varied by a set screw whose position can be used to vary the force that the bearing member applies against the housing.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for styling synthetic wigs utilizing steam to soften the fibers and refrigeration to harden and set the fibers. A comb having steam emission openings located around the teeth of the comb applies steam to the wig as it is stroked through the fibers of the wig. A sealable container into which the wig may be placed and steam introduced allows the wig after it has been styled to be permeated with steam. A sealable container in which the wig may be placed, and the interior reduced in temperature, cools the wig to set the hair strands in the new style.
