Multifunctional prosthetic scarf

Abstract

The inside of the multifunctional prosthetic scarves are prepared with polyurethane templates that allow the wearer to attach strips of real human hair onto them. The scarves give a realistic appearance and a firm secure fit. The multifunctional prosthetic scarves fit well without a tight or pressured feeling on the scalp reducing humidity build up on the scalp which prevents the scalp from sweating and causing irritation to the skin. The multifunctional prosthetic scarves' comfortable and distinguished feel allows the wearer to adjust the appearance by providing an appearance of having a full head of hair. Other head coverings provide a simplistic appearance for the person who is going under chemotherapy but may be uncomfortable and appear artificial. Although the velcro hair may appear to provide some hair it is a small amount of hair it provides. These headwear accessories are constraining and do not allow the scalp any breathing room causing the scalp to sweat. The scalp becomes irritated and often produces a restless desire to scratch. All of these products make the scalp sweat or itch unlike the multifunctional prosthetic scarf that will fit well without a tight or pressured feeling while preventing the scalp from sweating and itching.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]The present invention pertains to a multifunctional prosthetic scarf for a hairless person's head and more particularly to the polyurethane gauze template inside of the scarf which permits the person to attach hair extensions on the gauze template. (These said hair extensions are human hair that is injected onto strips of solid flexible polyurethane. The back of these hair extension strips have double-sided medical adhesive tape on them.) The gauze template has a porous texture thus allows the double-sided tape on the hair extensions to firmly attach onto the template.

[0007]The wearer can also have a secure fit by applying double-sided medical adhesive tape tabs onto the upper sides and center portion of the gauze template then applying the scarf inward directly onto the hairless upper scalp and around the rear head and tying the ends of the multifunctional prosthetic scarf into a knot.

[0008]Once the wearer is done wearing the multifunctional prosthetic scarf the person can easily remove it by untying the knot in the back of the scarf then pealing off the scarf from the scalp. The gauze template is porous and any double sided tape will remain on the template and the scalp is left with little to no residue. After removing the multifunctional prosthetic scarf, the wearer can clean the scarf and refurbish the hair extensions by removing all of the adhesive tape and all of the hair extension strips from the gauze template. The wearer can remove the adhesive tape and hair extension strips by scrapping a corner of the adhesive tape from the gauze template then lifting up and pealing it off of the gauze template. Once all of the tape and adhesive residue is off of the gauze template the scarf can be hand washed. The hair extensions can be refurbished and re-applied onto the gauze templates for the duration of the multifunctional prosthetic scarf.
