Wig with flex-grip base and components for protection against hair damage

Abstract

The device is a lightweight stretchable mesh base wig that provides full hair coverage and protection of a wearer's natural hair via an anti-skid system that securely holds the wig in a comfortable grip position without the use of adhesive, metal or non-porous plastic components. The wig device has a fixed micro hair-part for reducing manufacturing time and cost especially when the device is made of natural or human hair. The device has an anti-stress nape hair component that prevents tension and stress on a wearer's head and on the hair wefts at the lower back of the wig. The components are configured to allow the wig to be natural looking and highly undetectable and at low cost.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a new device for making human hair wigs that look natural and are easier to ventilate. The device has a micro hair part that is only a few inches wide, which allows for the use of pre-made hair wefts and reduces manufacturing time and cost. The micro hair part also provides better ventilation and allows for a more natural looking hair style. The device also includes an anti-stress, nape hair section that prevents tangling and mis-positioning of the hair wefts. Overall, the device provides a more cost-effective and efficient way to make natural-looking wigs.

Problems solved by technology

A flat configuration would not work for hairpieces such as those for men.

While some prior art provide a crown area with ventilation or implanted hair section that is big enough to allow a wearer to select where to part the hair, when made of human hair it is extremely costly and difficult to find in stores.
