ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to an artificial hair fitting implement for fitting a wig with artificial hair planted thereon, or false hair of artificial hair bundled thereon, to a head, and a method of use thereof.
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
There have existed a lot of artificial hair fitting implements for fitting a wig with artificial hair planted thereon, or false hair of artificial hair bundled thereon, to a head, and methods of use thereof.
For example, as methods for fitting a wig, with artificial hair planted thereon, to the head can be mentioned a method of fitting a wig by fastening the natural hair to a stopper with a lot of teeth of a comb provided on the back of the wig, and a method of fitting a wig by applying an adhesive onto the wig or the head.
In addition, recently there has been employed a method of fitting a wig to the head by providing a slit or a protrusion on the wig, pulling the natural hair therethrough, and applying an adhesive onto an outlet of the slit or the protrusion.
Of these conventional methods of fitting a wig, those employing a stopper are excellent in that the wig can be put on and taken off easily, but since the stopper itself has some thickness, the feeling of the wig during wearing thereof is unnatural. Also, since the stopper is made of a resin or a metal and always directly touches the head skin, it is improper to wear the wig for a long time. Moreover, in the case of sleeping with a worn wig, stimulation to the head skin becomes strong and results in unbearable pain at times. Moreover, since the wig is fitted by fastening the natural hair to the teeth of a comb, the wig slips in the case of severe exercise or long-term wearing, and thereby the hair fastened to the stopper is pulled, which results in an unpleasantness being experienced by the wearer.
In the case of a method of employing an adhesive, when a wig is fitted by an adhesive, the wig scarcely slips during severe exercise. Also, even in the case of sleeping with the worn wig, no feeling of oppression is experienced by the head skin and the feeling of the wearing of the wig is advantageously natural.
However, while applying the wig, the wig easily slips, and thus, a lot of skill and a lot of time are required to apply the wig. In addition, since an adhesive is employed, a rash and eczema are liable to occur on the head skin. Also, when the wig is removed, it takes much time to remove the adhesive.
The present invention solves these problems and intends to provide a safe and sanitary artificial hair fitting implement which facilitates the wearing and fitting of a wig or false hair without slippage of the wig while applying it, has a sufficient fitting strength thereof to the head, and causes neither adhesion nor remainder of an adhesive on the head such that a rash and eczema is not realized. A method of use of the hair fitting implement is also provided.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is, with a view to accomplishing the above object, an artificial hair fitting implement to be used for fitting a wig with artificial hair planted thereon, or false hair of artificial hair bundled thereon, to a head. The artificial hair fitting implement is characterized in that a net-like base is divided by providing a bending part at a roughly central part thereof. Double-sided tapes with a releasing paper are adhered to front and back surfaces of one side and the back surface of the other side. A double-sided tape with a fine-net-like component, instead of a releasing paper, is adhered to the front surface of the other side, which is the side coming into contact with the head skin. And, penetration holes for pulling the natural hair therethrough are provided in the other side.
Moreover, the present invention is characterized in that the penetration holes are formed of roughly cross-shaped holes, a group of horizontal slits, a group of vertical slits, a group of horizontal slots, a group of vertical slots, and mixtures thereof.
In addition, the present invention is characterized in that, in fitting a wig with artificial hair planted thereon to the head by using the above-mentioned artificial hair fitting implement, the releasing paper on the front surface of the one side is removed and fitted to a surrounding rim part of a back of the wig. Then the natural hair is pulled through the penetration holes from the back surface to the front surface of the other side. At the same time a releasing paper on the back surface of the one side is removed. Then the double-sided tapes on the back surfaces are adhered to each other to fix the natural hair, and thereby the wig is fitted to the head.
