[0034] FIG. 1 illustrates the method flowchart of the wig product production method according to an embodiment of the application. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes:

[0035] S100: Preparing the first wig component.

[0036] The first wig component refers to a wig obtained through machine implanted techniques. The specific size and hairstyle can be adjusted according to the specific requirements and are not explicitly defined in this application.

[0037] S200: Dividing the elastic wig cap into the first region and the second region.

[0038] The elastic wig cap serves as the base for the wig that comes into contact with the wearer's head. The entire elastic wig cap can be divided into few regions to accommodate the first wig component and the second wig component, which are produced using different techniques. In this embodiment, for descriptive purposes, they are referred to as the first region and the second region. etc.

[0039] During practical implementation, the different regions of the elastic wig cap can be marked or distinguished using markers or other methods. The specific division of the elastic wig cap into regions can be determined based on specific requirements and is not explicitly defined.

[0040] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10, the elastic wig cap can consist of the first elastic lace net 21 in the frontal area and the second elastic lace net 22 in the posterior area. The first elastic lace net 21 and the second elastic lace net 22 are stitched together using transparent thread.

[0041] The first elastic lace net can be pre-shaped, while the second elastic lace net is unshaped. Lace net is a lightweight and transparent mesh material typically made from polymer fibers such as nylon or polyester, with a fine tie structure. It possesses lace-like texture and transparency, simulating the natural appearance of the scalp to provide a natural and realistic look for the wig product, allowing the wearer to confidently showcase different hairstyles and styles.

[0042] S300: Stitching and securing the first wig component to the first region of the elastic wig cap.

[0043] Stitching and securing can be achieved using various methods. For example, the first wig component can be stitched and secured to the elastic wig cap using transparent thread.

[0044] S400: Hand-tied the second wig component on the second region of the elastic wig cap.

[0045] S500: Trimming the transitional area between the first and second regions to generate the final wig product.

[0046] Trimming involves techniques such as manual crocheting, pruning, and combing to generate a more natural transition between the two different wig components and achieve the desired final wig product.

[0047] In practical use, the prepared wig is presented in the form of a wig cap, which can be directly worn on the wearer's head without requiring additional complicated steps, making it simple and convenient to use.

[0048] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, step S100 described above can include:

[0049] S110: Fixing the hair bundles with a clamp.

[0050] The hair bundles refer to a bundle of hair formed by multiple strands of hair. Optionally, the hair strands can be made of synthetic fibers or human hair or mixture of both. When using synthetic fibers, the hair bundles can be fixed with a hair clamp after pruning. When using human hair, the same method can also be used.

[0051] S120: Creating a simulated scalp.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 3, the simulated scalp consists of a layered structure including a first scalp layer 11, a second scalp layer 12, and an elastic net 13. The three layers can be fixed together using staples or similar methods.

[0053] Specifically, the first scalp layer is a simulated scalp made of PVC material, and the second scalp layer is a simulated scalp made of PU material. The thickness of the second scalp layer is significantly lower than that of the first scalp layer. This design provides the necessary support for machine implanted hair by the thicker first scalp layer, facilitating smooth hair implantation.

[0054] S130: Using a hair implantation machine to pass the root of the hair bundles through the simulated scalp.

[0055] pass refers to the root of the hair bundles passing through the first scalp layer of the simulated scalp, with the end of the hair bundles located on the outside of the elastic net, as shown in FIG. 3.

[0056] S140: Removing the first scalp layer of the simulated scalp.

[0057] Removing can be achieved by simply removing the staples, tearing it off, or similar methods, ensuring that the hair strands are not pulled out from the simulated scalp.

[0058] Specifically, before performing step S140, the following steps may be included:

[0059] Firstly, use a comb to arrange the roots of the hair bundles on the first surface of the simulated scalp. Then, prune the roots of the hair bundles to the predetermined length.

[0060] A comb is a tool used to comb and arrange hair, also known as a hairbrush or wide-tooth comb. It is typically made of plastic, wood, or metal and helps in the arrangement and combing of hair.

[0061] The first surface refers to the surface where the roots of the hair bundles emerge. Accordingly, the predetermined length is the length of the hair strands protruding from the first scalp layer.

[0062] S150: Adhering and fixing the roots of the hair bundles onto the second scalp layer to generate the first wig component.

[0063] Before performing step S150, the roots of the hair bundles may be pruned again to the predetermined length, where the predetermined length is the length of the hair strands protruding from the second scalp layer.

[0064] In some embodiments, the predetermined length can be controlled to be 2 mm for better results.

[0065] Specifically, step S150 can include the following steps:

[0066] Firstly, apply adhesive on the bonding surface of the second scalp layer and place it in an oven for baking. The bonding surface refers to the surface where the roots of the hair bundles protrude from the second scalp layer. After baking, reapply adhesive on the bonding surface of the second scalp layer and adhere the mesh layer. Finally, let the adhered mesh and simulated scalp air dry naturally to prepare the first wig component.

[0067] One advantageous aspect of the first wig component obtained through the above method is that by removing the first scalp layer, the thickness of the final wig product's scalp is effectively reduced, and there are no hair folds. This significantly improves the lightweight nature, making it approach the effect of hand-tied wigs.

[0068] In addition, different from the traditional machine-made wig product, as shown in FIG. 11, several holes are provided on the scalp of the first wig component. The scalp with holes may significantly improve the elasticity and breathability of the wig product.

[0069] To fully describe the production process of the wig product as described in this application, taking into account the specific examples shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 10, the following is a detailed description of the specific preparation process of the wig according to this application:

[0070] 1) Preparation of the first wig component:

[0071] 1.1) Preparation of hair bundles:

[0072] taper multiple strands of hair on a hair clamp and trim or flatten the roots, then place the root portion of the hair strands under the head scalp needle. The hair ends of the hair bundles are fixed with a clamp.

[0073] 1.2) Preparation of simulated scalp:

[0074] Stack a regular PVC scalp, a PU scalp for hair implantation, and an elastic lace net in order, and fix them with staples. Then, cover the prepared hair bundles with the stacked layers.

[0075] Specifically, the regular PVC scalp is on top, the elastic lace net is below and in contact with the hair strands. Approximately 1 inch of hair roots is left on the top of the head.

[0076] 1.3) Hair implantation by machine:

[0077] Press the scalp crochet needle (model: 1-1 hair) through the scalp, hook the root of the hair strands through a hair hole, and only hook one hair strand with each stitch. As shown in FIG. 4, the upper layer of the PVC scalp 11 has short hair stops, and the elastic lace net below has long hair.

[0078] 1.4) Pruning:

[0079] As shown in FIG. 5, use a comb on the machine-implanted hair obtained in step 1.3) to comb the short hair stops on side A to side B. Prune the excessive hair stops on side B, leaving only 2 mm of hair roots.

[0080] 1.5) Removal of the regular PVC scalp:

[0081] As shown in FIG. 6, after pruning the hair stops, tear off the regular PVC scalp. It is important to control the force and speed while tearing to prevent the hair strands from being pulled out. After removing the regular PVC scalp, prune the hair stops again to leave only 2 mm of hair roots.

[0082] 1.6) Bonding roots and applying adhesive:

[0083] As shown in FIG. 7, after removing the PVC scalp, apply a thin layer of adhesive on the side with short hair stops and place it in the oven to partially dry. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, apply another thin layer of adhesive and attach a breathable mesh 14. Let it air dry naturally to obtain the desired first wig component.

[0084] 2) Preparation of the wig product:

[0085] 2.1) Taper the hair strands on a hair clamp.

[0086] 2.2) As shown in FIG. 9, use a pre-shaped curved first elastic lace net 21 for the front and an unshaped second elastic lace net 22 for the back. Stitch the first elastic lace net and the unshaped second elastic lace net together with transparent fishing line to generate an elastic wig cap.

[0087] 2.3) Mark the first region and the second region on the elastic wig cap using a marker pen.

[0088] 2.4) Use transparent fishing line to stitch the first wig component onto the marked first region.

[0089] 2.5) As shown in FIG. 10, use a manual crochet method to hook the hair strands onto the mesh holes in the second region.

[0090] 2.6) Use a manual crochet method to generate a natural transition between the first wig component and the second wig component in a transition area.

[0091] 2.7) Further trim and comb the finished product obtained in step 2.6 to obtain the wig presented in the form of a wig cap.

[0092] The present application further provides a wig producing according to above producing method. The wig is consist of the machine implantation part (ie, the first wig component) and the hand-tied part (ie, the second wig component).

[0093] The above content provides further detailed explanations in conjunction with specific/preferred embodiments, but it should not be construed that the specific embodiments of the present application are limited to these explanations. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements within the scope of the present application without departing from the spirit of the present application.
