Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0400215A1] In a wig according to the invention, the bearing part (100) is constructed as a basket from freely ending bars (31, 32, 33) which extend from a junction piece (30) and bound, in pairs, a space which extends without interruption to the free end of the bars (31, 32, 33). The bars (31, 32, 33) are fitted with hairs either directly or by means of a holder. The advantage of such a bearing part (100) is that it allows facilitated withdrawal of the natural hair of the user between the bars (31, 32, 33) and, including the hair line, offers a natural appearance of the style of the mixed hair. <IMAGE>
