ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus relating to accessory items for persons who wear wigs and the like is disclosed.
A foundation cap securely holds a wig in place on the wearer's head. An accessory item for bald or nearly bald wearers secures the foundation cap to the scalp. The foundation cap comprises a nylon-like stretch material having a closed rounded end and an elasticized open end. A circular skirt of similar stretch material is located at about the midpoint of the foundation cap. Filler material is inserted, as needed, into the cap. For a bald, or near bald wearers, an accessory item comprising an elastic band integrally housing a pre-rolled filler section is first placed over the head to hold the foundation cap in place.
The method employs first and second substantially flat rolled sections which are located near the wearer's natural hairline before the wearer's hair loss. The rolled sections comprise absorbent material which is rolled into the wearer's existing hair, and encircles the head with flat sections near the top of the ears and mounds at the front and back to secure the foundation cap and finally the hairpiece.
