A fiber for artificial hair, having a base fiber and a metal salt of a polymer compound that is present in at least a part of a surface of the base fiber, in which the metal salt contains at least one metal selected from the group consisting of silver, zinc, and copper. A headdress article having the fiber for artificial hair.

A device for automating the process of installing eyelash extensions onto the natural eyelashes of a subject. In some embodiments, the placing of extensions is carried out by a robotic mechanism utilizing computer vision. In some embodiments, the same device may be used for extending eyebrows rather than eyelashes, as eyebrows have rather similar properties to eyelashes.

A method of installing a wig on the head of a wearer, the wig having a top portion that defines an opening corresponding to the wearer's part, the top portion being composed of a fabric and having wig hairs attached to the top portion. Wig clips attach the wig to the wearer's natural hair on the opposing sides of the wearer's part so that the wearer's natural part is exposed. The wearer's natural hair is not disposed over the fabric at the edges of the opening. Alternatively, a leave-out of the wearers natural hair does not cover the wig hair adjacent to the edges of the opening. The wig hair adjacent to the edges of the opening may be tangled or the installer may tease the wig hairs adjacent to the edges of the opening. The invention is also a wig for application of the method.

The present disclosure provides methods for making synthetic hair compositions. The methods generally comprise providing a plant fiber, degumming the plant fiber, and dyeing the plant fiber. The present disclosure also provides methods of degumming banana fiber. The methods generally comprise providing banana fiber and soaking the banana fiber in a degumming solution comprising a base, magnesium sulfate, and hydrogen peroxide. The present disclosure further provides methods of dyeing banana fibers. The present disclosure further provides synthetic hair compositions comprising banana fibers made by the methods described herein.

Provided are a compression-type textured strand for a wig and a method for manufacturing same. The compression-type textured strand for a wig is carried in a compressed form and, by rapid application of tension thereto before it is worn, is enabled to recover its external shape. Therefore, the strand can satisfy both the economic feasibility of the logistics process and the aesthetic sensation when it is worn.
