Abstract (en)

[origin: US2007251536A1] The present invention relates to a non-surgical, natural looking hair replacement, i.e., a wig, designed to duplicate a women's hair loss area. The wig is either a ¾ cap or a full cap, designed with polyurethane reinforced areas that allow the wig to be adjusted to fit the average women's head size. The wig is made using different base materials in different sections to accommodate different types of knotting procedures and quantities of hair and hair direction. The different sections and materials used help depict natural hair growth and aid in comfort and fit. The color choices represent the most popular shades found in nature and high end dramatic color selections. The hair replacement of the present invention has between five (5) to fourteen (14) different hair color shades blended into each color selection so that light may be reflected and give a variety of shade and tone differences. This color blend gives the hair replacement for women of the present invention the most natural look.
