An exemplary wig grip apparatus includes a first securement member, a second securement member and a mesh element. The securement members are comprised of a flexible fabric. The mesh element is transparent and affixed to inboard portions of the securement elements. The outboard portions may be configured to be placed into releasable gripping engagement with one another by way of mutually-engageable complementary fastener elements. The securement members each include a forward edge and an opposing rearward edge. The mesh element may include a frontal segment having a forward periphery. The forward periphery is preferably in alignment with the forward edges. The mesh element may include a parting-line segment extending oppositely of the forward periphery. The width of the frontal segment may be greater than the corresponding width of the parting-line segment. Moreover, the parting-line segment may include a rearward periphery in alignment with the rearward edges.

A wig or hairpiece includes a Swiss lace hair base having a perimeter, a plurality of human hair strands affixed to the Swiss lace hair base, a silk cap, the silk cap being attached to the Swiss lace hair base; and at least one elastic band affixed to the Swiss lace hair base generally proximate the perimeter of the Swiss lace hair base, and in between the Swiss lace hair base and the silk cap.

One or more embodiments of the present invention relate to a core-sheath conjugate fiber for artificial hair including a core and a sheath. The core is composed of a polyester-based resin composition containing a polyester-based resin as a main component, and the sheath is composed of a polyamide-based resin composition containing a polyamide-based resin as a main component. A core-to-sheath area ratio of the core to the sheath is 2:8 to 7:3, and both a fiber cross-section and a core cross-section have a flat shape, a major axis of the core cross-section is in a direction that substantially coincides with a direction of a major axis of the fiber cross-section, and an eccentricity ratio of the fiber in a minor axis direction is 5% or more. As a result, fibers for artificial hair having a texture and an appearance that are similar to those of human hair and having favorable curl setting properties are provided.

One or more embodiments of the present invention relate to a core-sheath conjugate fiber for artificial hair that includes a core and a sheath. The core is composed of a polyester-based resin composition containing a polyester-based resin as a main component, and the sheath is composed of a polyamide-based resin composition containing a polyamide-based resin as a main component. The polyester-based resin composition and the polyamide-based resin composition contain a bromine-based flame retardant. In the core-sheath conjugate fiber for artificial hair, a core-to-sheath area ratio of the core to the sheath is 2:8 to 8:2. A fiber cross-section of the core-sheath conjugate fiber for artificial hair has a flat multilobed shape, and the fiber cross-section includes a hollow portion. A ratio of an area of the hollow portion to a total area of the fiber cross-section is 5% or more and 30% or less. The hollow portion has a polygonal shape. As a result, fibers for artificial hair that have a texture similar to that of human hair, high durability, favorable curl setting properties, and high flame resistance are provided.

A wig-stabilising headband (10) for enhancing the stability of an in-use wig (52), the headband (10) comprising an elongate main body (12) which is in or can be formed into a loop configuration. The elongate main body (12) has a head-facing surface, and a wig-facing surface. The head-facing surface has at least one first grip-enhancing element (40) for improving the frictional contact with a wearer's head. Similarly, the wig-facing surface has at least one second grip-enhancing element (42) for improving the frictional contact with an in-use wig (52).

A resin composition for flame retardant artificial hair which has favorable transparency and combability similar to those of human hair and exhibits excellent flame retardancy. A resin composition for flame retardant artificial hair is obtained by configuring a resin composition including 100 parts by mass of a polyester (A) and 5-40 parts by mass of a bromine-containing flame retardant (B) including at least one kind selected from poly(pentabromobenzyl acrylate), a brominated phenol resin, and polydibromophenylene oxide, wherein the melt viscosity of the polyester (A) is 80-300 Pa.Math.s.

A protective covering for a person's hair covers the hair with a slack foundation and is secured by a form fitting band, the form fitting band serving as a perimeter base of the foundation. The foundation includes a plurality of hair-receiving guidelines, which indicate hair placement for hair strands. The guidelines are positioned across the foundation. The band is preferably Lyrca, such that it can fit different head sizes of different persons. To help improve the fit, a retaining strap is provided for each temporal region, as well as ergonomic contours along the band that conform to a person's ears. Within the foundation is an enclosed region, including head-receiving portion and voluminous hair-protecting portion. The latter portion ensures sufficient space to protect and maintain a person's natural hair and hairstyle. An internal netting helps to catch shedding hairs while a drawstring in the band allows for tightness to be adjusted.

The present invention pertains to an artificial hair fiber that includes an artificial fibroin fiber containing a modified fibroin and that expands when being in a wet state and shrinks when being dried after the wet state.
