A fibre comprising a colour component comprising an unencapsulated liquid crystal contained in the cavity of a hollow polymeric sheath is provided. The sheath retains the colour component and additional materials may be included to provide a tailored aesthetic effect. The fibre is useful as an artificial hair product and for weaving or knitting into a fabric.

A fiber for artificial hair is constituted of a resin composition containing an aliphatic polyamide and inorganic particles, and in a particle size distribution of the inorganic particles measured by a laser diffraction method, a ratio (D.sub.50/D.sub.10) of D.sub.50, which is a particle size equivalent to a cumulative percentage of 50% based on volume, to D.sub.10, which is a particle size equivalent to a cumulative percentage of 10% based on volume, is 1.8 or more and 3.0 or less.

In accordance with embodiments of the invention, a wig grip is provided. The wig grip includes an elastomeric body having a hair contact side opposite a wig contact side and a first end opposite a second end. A plurality of hair attachment members disposed along the hair contact side of the elastomeric body. The hair attachment members are operable to attach to the hair of a user. A plurality of grip members is disposed along the wig contact side of the elastomeric body. The grip members are operable to engage and retain an underside of a wig. A fastener is operable to connect said first end of the elastomeric body to said second end of the elastomeric body.

The present invention relates to energy-releasable beauty care products. The products are capable of absorbing energy, for example, from an electrical, magnetic, electromagnetic, light, or heat source, which alters the physicochemical state of the beauty care product such that it is easily removable through the utilization of the energy source.

A hair planting apparatus includes a mounting portion for mounting a base material where planting is performed, and including a work opening for planting, a hair planting unit for binding hair for planting to the base material in the work opening of the mounting portion, and a feed device disposed around the mounting portion and feeding the base material with a roller contacting the base material from below. In the hair planting apparatus, the feed device feeds the base material in at least two intersecting directions.

A hair planting apparatus includes a mounting portion for mounting a base material, and including a work opening for planting, a hair planting unit for binding hair for planting to the material in the work opening, a transport mechanism for positioning the hair planting unit relative to each mesh hole of the material mounted on the mounting portion, an imaging unit for capturing images of a plurality of mesh holes of the material mounted on the mounting portion, a tilt detection unit for obtaining, from the image captured by the imaging unit, an alignment direction of the mesh holes of the material, and a correction mechanism for correcting the orientation of the material on the mounting portion according to a tilt angle of the alignment direction of the mesh holes of the material with respect to a predetermined direction.

A tape device for a lace wig having lace grids includes a tape and a release liner. The tape includes an elastic layer and an adhesive layer. The elastic layer has a first surface and a second surface, and the adhesive layer is fixedly attached to the second surface of the elastic layer. The release liner is releasably attached to the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer is transparent such that the second surface is visible through the adhesive layer, and the elastic layer is constructed in a skin color such that the elastic layer is removably attached to the lace grids from inside of the lace wig to cover a parting area of the lace wig for making the parting area look natural and making the lace grids less visible or conspicuous.

The apparatus of this disclosure is a dreadlock, which may be wrappable and added to a human head and hairdos for females, males, and children with or without previous natural, artificial dreadlocks, any other hairstyles, and any combination thereof. An apparatus may include a dreadlock apparatus comprising at least one track, wherein one track comprises at least one longitudinally placed ribbon. At least two or more hair locks are immovably affixed to the ribbon and perpendicular to the longitudinal ribbon, and wherein the two or more locks are affixed parallel to each other on the ribbon. The apparatus or parts of the dreadlocks may be handmade using crocheting, sewing, braiding, etc. The method of use of the apparatus includes wrapping, with or without additional affixing techniques such as crocheting, sewing, braiding, etc.

The present disclosure relates to a core-sheath conjugate fiber for artificial hair including a core part and a sheath part, wherein the core-sheath conjugate fiber for artificial hair is a colored fiber, a color difference between the core-sheath conjugate fiber for artificial hair and the core part is 3.0 or more, and a color difference between the core-sheath conjugate fiber for artificial hair and the sheath part is also 3.0 or more. Provided are a core-sheath conjugate fiber for artificial hair capable of realizing deep colors and having a good appearance close to that of human hair, a hair ornament product including the core-sheath conjugate fiber, and a production method.
