DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In the following detailed description, reference will be made to the accompanying drawing(s), in which identical functional elements are designated with like numerals. The aforementioned accompanying drawings show by way of illustration, and not by way of limitation, specific aspects, and implementations consistent with principles of this disclosure. These implementations are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the disclosure and it is to be understood that other implementations may be utilized and that structural changes and/or substitutions of various elements may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be construed in a limited sense.

[0021] The present disclosure relates to a wig securement band to secure a hair accessory, such as a wig, to a wearer's head. Turning to FIG. 1A, a wig securement band 100 may include a head band 110, the head band 110 having an inner surface 122 and an outer surface 114, and at least one hook and loop hair gripper 120 positioned on the inner surface 122 of the head band 110.

[0022] As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the head band 110 may comprise an interface region 112, an adjustable segment 118, a mesh panel 116, and a friction band 124. In one embodiment, the mesh panel 116 may be integrated within the interface region 112. In a further embodiment, the wig securement band 100 has a top portion, illustrated in FIG. 1B, that rests over the top of the wearer's head and a bottom portion, illustrated in FIG. 1C, that rests over a rear portion of the wearer's head. FIG. 1D illustrates the positioning of the at least one hook and loop hair gripper 120 on the inner surface 122 of the head band 110.

[0023] The interface region 112 may be constructed of a grip material, for example, velvet or another suitable material (discussed further below), to create friction between the wig securement band 100 and a wig to secure the wig on the wearer. In some embodiments, the interface region 112 may extend from the mesh panel 116 to the adjustable segment 118 on either side of a midline. It is contemplated that the interface region 112 may be formed of a thin, flexible material to permit the wig securement band 100 to form to the wearer's head.

[0024] The grip material of the interface region 112 may be constructed from a variety of materials to achieve desired friction and comfort properties. Suitable materials may include natural fabrics such as cotton, silk, or wool, which can provide softness and breathability. Synthetic materials like polyester, nylon, or spandex may offer durability and stretch. Composite materials featuring a combination of the materials described herein may incorporate all of the aforementioned benefits.

[0025] In some cases, the grip material may incorporate specialized textiles such as microfiber or moisture-wicking fabrics to enhance comfort during extended wear. As an illustration, the grip material, incorporating these moisture-wicking fabrics, may actively draw sweat away from the skin of a wearer, thus promoting faster evaporation and improved wearer temperature regulation. Additionally, these fabrics may improve breathability of the interface region 112, resulting in quicker drying times. Furthermore, the moisture-wicking fabrics may be lightweight in nature, thus allowing the head band 110 to maintain a comfortable feel even when damp, while simultaneously facilitating better air circulation around the wearer's head. Velvet or velour may be used to create a plush surface with high friction properties.

[0026] The grip material may also utilize materials with non-slip characteristics, such as silicone-infused fabrics or rubberized coatings. In some embodiments, the material may be treated with antimicrobial agents to promote hygiene. The thickness and texture of the chosen material may be varied to optimize grip and conformability to the wearer's head shape.

[0027] In some embodiments, the friction band 124 extends across at least a portion of the outer surface 114 of the head band 110. For example, the friction band 124 may traverse the entire or substantially the entire length of the interface region 112. Of course, in other embodiments, the friction band 124 may traverse less than the entire the length of the interface region 112. For example, the friction band 124 may be a plurality of friction bands intermittently placed on the outer surface 114 of the head band 110. The friction band 124 may be any shape and or dimension.

[0028] The friction band 124 may be constructed from a variety of materials to enhance grip between the wig and the wig securement band 100. Specifically, the friction band 124 may secure said wig to the head band 110. Silicone is one material that may be used due to its flexibility and non-slip properties. Other potential materials for the friction band 124 may include rubber compounds, thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), or textured fabrics with high-friction coatings. These materials may be selected for their ability to maintain grip under various conditions, such as moisture or movement.

[0029] As a nonlimiting example, the friction band 124 may utilize materials with temperature-responsive properties (e.g., TPE), allowing the band 124 to adjust its grip strength based on the wearer's body beat. Such a friction band 124 may provide a more secure hold during physical activities when the wearer may be generating more heat. Additionally, the friction band 124 may incorporate materials and/or coatings resistant to oils and sweat, ensuring consistent performance in various wearing conditions (e.g., exercise).

[0030] As a further nonlimiting example, the friction band 124 may incorporate a polymer blend employing phase-change materials (PCMs) designed to transition at temperatures close to body temperature. In such an example, the PCMs may alter the surface texture or tackiness of the friction band 124 in response to the wearer's body heat.

[0031] In some embodiments, the friction band 124 may incorporate micro-textures or patterns to further increase surface friction. The friction band 124 may also be made from composite materials that combine different properties for optimal performance. Additionally, any other materials or combinations of materials that provide suitable friction and durability characteristics may be used for the friction band 124.

[0032] The mesh panel 116 may be positioned at the front of the head band 110, creating a transparent section that aligns with the wearer's forehead region. This strategic placement allows the mesh panel 116 to integrate seamlessly with lace foundation wigs and front hairpieces, enhancing the natural appearance of the wig when worn. The transparency of the mesh panel 116 may enable the wearer's skin to be visible through the wig, which can contribute to a more realistic hairline effect.

[0033] In some embodiments, the mesh panel 116 may be constructed from a fine, lightweight material that closely matches the wearer's skin tone. To illustrate, a color of the mesh panel 116 may be customized to match the content of melanin within a wearer's skin. Similarly, a color of the head band 110 may be customized to match the melanin content of a wearer's skin. Such customization may involve a range of color shades and tones to accommodate diverse skin types. For instance, the mesh panel 116 and/or the head band 110 may be manufactured in various colors ranging from light beige to deep brown, allowing wearers to select a color that closely matches their natural skin tone. This design choice may further enhance the visual blending between the wig and the wearer's natural hairline. The mesh panel 116 may also be engineered to be thin and flexible, allowing it to conform closely to the contours of the wearer's forehead for improved comfort and a more secure fit.

[0034] Furthermore, the mesh panel 116 may be translucent, allowing some of the wearer's natural skin tone to show through. Such a feature may help create a more seamless blend between the mesh panel 116 and the wearer's skin, particularly in areas where the edge of the panel meets the forehead.

[0035] Yet further, the mesh panel 116 may be interchangeable. In an embodiment, the mesh panel 116 may reversibly couple to the interface region 112, such that a wearer may switch between panels to match changes in their skin tone due to factors such as sun exposure or seasonal variations. In particular, the interface region 112 and the mesh panel 116 may employ corresponding hook and loop fasteners allowing the wearer to interchange panels having different colors.

[0036] The incorporation of the mesh panel 116 in the wig securement band 100 may serve to conceal the presence of the band itself. By utilizing a transparent or semi-transparent material in this critical frontal area, the mesh panel 116 may reduce the visibility of the wig securement band 100 when the wig is in place. This concealment feature may be particularly beneficial for wearers who desire a seamless transition between their natural hairline and the wig, as it minimizes the appearance of any underlying support structures.

[0037] In some aspects, the mesh panel 116 may be designed with varying degrees of opacity or color-matching capabilities to accommodate different skin tones and wig styles. This versatility may allow the wig securement band 100 to be adaptable to a wide range of users and wig types, enhancing its overall utility and effectiveness in creating a natural-looking wig application.

[0038] Further, it is contemplated that the mesh panel 116 may be thinner than the interface region 112, which may result in a more natural appearance when the wig is secured. This may remove bulkiness near the front of the wig, where it would be the most visible. The mesh panel 116 is generally configured to sit flat on the forehead when the wearer's front hairline would be and where part of the wig will be positioned. It is contemplated that this may remove obvious indicators that the wearer is wearing a wig, by mimicking a more natural hairline.

[0039] In one embodiment, the mesh panel 116 may be T-shaped, wherein the arms of the T are positioned anterior to the at least one hook and loop hair gripper 120 and the body of the T extends between the at least one hook and loop hair gripper 120 to define the midline. In such an embodiment, the arms of the T may extend along a length of the at least one hook and loop hair gripper 120. Specifically, the at least one hook and loop hair gripper 120 may be comprised of two hook and loop hair grippers, wherein the arms of the T extend approximately 80% of the length of each of the two hook and loop hair grippers.

[0040] The arms of the mesh panel 116 may correspond to the wearer's hairline at their forehead. The body of the mesh panel 116 may correspond to the wig and/or wearer's part. It is contemplated that the T-shape of the mesh panel 116 may create a more natural looking appearance when the wig is secured.

[0041] In other embodiments, the mesh panel 116 may be configured into various suitable shape alternatives to accommodate different wig styles and wearer preferences. For example, the mesh panel 116 may be formed as a continuous strip extending across the top portion of the wig securement band 100, corresponding to the wearer's hairline at the forehead. In such an example, the interface region 112 may extend along the entire length of the headband 110, providing a consistent gripping surface for the wig.

[0042] The shape and dimensions of the mesh panel 116 may be customized to suit different head sizes and wig types. For instance, the mesh panel 116 may be wider at the temples and narrower at the center, or may maintain a uniform width across its length. In some cases, the mesh panel 116 may incorporate curved edges to better conform to the natural contours of the wearer's forehead.

[0043] In certain aspects, the interface region 112 may be designed to seamlessly integrate with the mesh panel 116, creating a smooth transition between the two components. This integration may help to minimize any visible lines or edges when the wig is in place, enhancing the natural appearance of the hairline.

[0044] The at least one book and loop hair gripper 120 may be adapted to complement the configuration of the mesh panel 116 and interface region 112. In embodiments where the mesh panel 116 is formed as a continuous strip extending across the top portion of the wig securement band 100, the at least one hook and loop hair gripper 120 may be formed as a single continuous gripper disposed above the mesh panel 116 on the inner surface 122 of the head band 110. This alignment may ensure consistent securing force directly behind the visible hairline area.

[0045] In some embodiments, the at least one hook and loop hair gripper, formed as a single continuous gripper, may run the length of the mesh panel 116. In other embodiments, the at least one hook and loop hair gripper, formed as a single continuous gripper, may be longer than the mesh panel 116. Specifically, in said embodiments, the at least one hook and loop hair gripper 120 may be approximately 120% the length of the mesh panel 116.

[0046] The integration of the mesh panel 116, interface region 112, and/or at least one hook and loop hair gripper 120 may be further enhanced through manufacturing techniques that minimize seams or transitions between materials. Such a seamless construction may contribute to the overall comfort and discretion of the wig securement band 100 when in use.

[0047] Turning to FIG. 1C, the bottom portion of the head band 110 may comprise the adjustable segment 118. The adjustable segment 118 is illustrated as an elastic portion that extends between the interface region 112.

[0048] In the illustrated embodiment, the adjustable segment 118 may comprise an adjustment tensioner 128 that permits the adjustable segment 118 to be shortened and/or lengthened to accommodate the head of a wearer. Further, the use of an elastic is contemplated to permit some adjustment of the head band 110 without the need to manually adjust the length of the adjustable segment 118.

[0049] The adjustment tensioner 128 may incorporate various mechanisms to facilitate adjustability of the wig securement band 100. In some embodiments, the adjustment tensioner 128 may utilize a ratchet-based system, allowing incremental tightening or loosening through a series of interlocking teeth. Alternatively, the adjustment tensioner 128 may employ a sliding mechanism with friction-based locking, enabling continuous adjustment along a track. In other aspects, the adjustment tensioner 128 may feature an elastic or spring-loaded component that provides dynamic tension adjustment. Some implementations may incorporate a dial or knob mechanism, allowing for fine-tuned adjustments through rotational movement. The adjustment tensioner 128 may also utilize a hook-and-loop fastening system for quick and easy size modifications. In certain embodiments, the adjustment tensioner 128 may integrate smart materials that respond to electrical or thermal stimuli, enabling automatic or user-controlled adjustments. The specific mechanism employed may be selected based on factors such as ease of use, durability, and compatibility with the overall design of the wig securement band 100.

[0050] Turning to FIG. 1D, the at least one hook and loop hair gripper 120 may be two hook and loop hair grippers disposed on the inner surface 122 of the head band 110 near the front portion of the wig securement band 100. The at least one hook and loop hair gripper 120 may be positioned to, in use, contact the wearer's hair, to secure the wig securement band 100 in place. In one embodiment, the two book and loop hair grippers may be disposed on opposing sides of the midline defined by the mesh panel 116. In one embodiment, the at least one hook and loop hair gripper 120 may be rectangular in shape. However, any shape may be utilized. The characteristics of the at least one hook and loop hair gripper 120 will be discussed in more detail herein.

[0051] FIGS. 2A and 2B illustrate another embodiment of a wig securement band 200 comprising a head band 210 and at least one hook and loop gripper in use. In the illustrated embodiment, the wig securement band 200 is positioned with the inner surface visible to illustrate the positioning of the at least one hook and loop hair gripper during use. It is contemplated that the outer surface (obscured) of the wig securement band 200 may comprise any of the properties discussed herein. For example, any of the properties discussed with reference to FIGS. 1A-C.

[0052] FIGS. 2A-B illustrate one embodiment of the wig securement band 200 positioned on a wearer's head. In the illustrated embodiment, the inner section of the wig securement band 200 is visible to illustrate the positioning of the book and loop hair grippers during use. As illustrated in FIGS. 2A-B, the wig securement band 200 may comprise four hook and loop hair grippers. A first hook and loop hair gripper 220a and a second hook and loop hair gripper 220b may be positioned near the front portion of the wig securement band 200. A third hook and loop hair gripper 220c and a fourth hook and loop hair gripper 220d may be positioned near a back portion of the wig securement band 200. It is contemplated that the use of hook and loop hair grippers 220a-d at the front and back portion of the securement band 200 may provide additional security at the back of the wearer's head. This may be advantageous in high intensity situations, or when the wig is being styled in a ponytail or updo that creates tension at the back of the head.

[0053] FIG. 3 illustrates one embodiment of a hook and loop hair gripper 300. The hook and loop hair gripper 300 may be any hook-and-loop fastener and the term hook and loop should not be construed as limiting. The hook and loop hair gripper 300 may comprise a plurality of hooks 302 that are designed to catch and secure to the wearer's hair. In some embodiments, the plurality of hooks 302 may be longer than typical hook-and-loop fasteners to improve engagement with the wearer's hair.

[0054] In an embodiment, the hook and loop hair gripper 300 may be formed of a polyester and or nylon material. Of course, other materials are contemplated, and the aforementioned examples are non-limiting. The hook and loop hair gripper 300 may be thin to reduce bulk under the wig when worn.

[0055] It is contemplated that in some instances, the use of the hook and loop hair gripper 300 may contribute to increased hair growth. For example, the hook and loop hair gripper 300 may stimulate the wearer's scalp, which may result in improved hair growth. Further, the use of the hook and loop hair gripper 300 may reduce tension on the hair caused by traditional wig combs and/or clips, reducing hair loss caused by tension.

[0056] FIGS. 4A-B illustrate another embodiment of a wig securement band 400. In the embodiment illustrated, the wig securement band 400 comprises at least one hook and loop hair gripper 420 and a head band 410 having an inner surface 422 and an outer surface 414. The head band 410 may comprise an interface region 412, an adjustable segment 418, and a friction band 424. The adjustable segment 418 comprising an adjustment tensioner 428 may be positioned on a position of the head band 410 that extends over the rear portion of the wearer's head and may permit the wearer to adjust the wig securement band 400 to their head. It is contemplated that the at least one book and loop hair gripper 420 and the adjustable segment 418 may comprise any characteristics discussed herein.

[0057] In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 4A-B, the interface region 412 may be a continuous portion of material that extends from one end of the adjustable segment 418 to an opposing end of the adjustable segment 418. For example, the interface region 412 may be formed of velvet or other suitable material to generate friction between the wig and the wig securement band 400.

[0058] In some embodiments, the friction band 424 may correspond with the entire length of the interface region 412. Of course, in other embodiments, the friction band 424 may vary in length relative to the interface region 412.

[0059] Another embodiment of a wig securement band 500 is illustrated in FIGS. 5A-B. The wig securement band 500 comprises a head band 510 having an outer surface 514 and an inner surface 522, and at least one hook and loop hair gripper 520 disposed of on the inner surface 522. The head band 510 further comprises an interface region 512, a mesh panel 516, an adjustable segment 518, and a friction band 524. It is contemplated that any of the at least one hook and loop hair gripper 520, the interface region 512, the mesh panel 516, and the friction band 524 may comprise any of the characteristics discussed herein.

[0060] The adjustable segment 518 is illustrated as a string 530 comprising a fixed end 526a secured to the interface region 512 and an adjustment end 526b secured to the interface region 512. In one embodiment, the adjustment end 526b may be secured to the interface region 512 by a through hole that permits the string 530 to be looped through and secured to itself. In one embodiment, the string 530 may be secured to itself by an adjustment tensioner 528 that may be moved along the string 530 to change the length of the string 530. By changing the length of the string 530, the overall size of the wig securement band 500 may be adjusted. For example, moving the adjustment tensioner 528 proximally towards the adjustment end 526b may increase the length of the string 530 and, thus, the overall size of the wig securement band 500. Likewise, moving the adjustment tensioner 528 distally away from the adjustment end 526b may decrease the length of the string 530, thus decreasing the overall size of the wig securement band 500.

[0061] It is contemplated that the adjustable segment 518 being configured as the string may reduce bulk near the back of the head. This may be advantageous for use with some wig types, such as toppers, or to provide a flatter looking head.

[0062] In another embodiment, not shown, the adjustable segment may comprise a hook and loop attachment means. For example, a first hook and loop strip disposed on one end of the head band and a second hook and loop strip disposed on the opposite end of the head band, wherein the first and second hook and loop strips are configured to removably couple with one another. In some embodiments, the hook and loop attachment means may permit the size of the wig securement band to be adjusted.

[0063] Referring to FIGS. 6A and 6B, another embodiment of a wig securement band 600 may be illustrated. The wig securement band 600 may incorporate the disclosure of the aforementioned wig securement bands 100, 200, 400, and 500.

[0064] In an embodiment, the wig securement band 600 may feature one or more double-sided friction bands 602 disposed on both an inner surface 604 and outer surface 606 of the securement band 600. As a nonlimiting example, such double-sided friction bands 602 may be comprised of silicone. However, the double-sided friction bands 602 may be comprised of any suitable alternative material. In some embodiments, the double-sided friction bands 602 may extend along a length of an interface region 608, providing improved grip on both the wearer's head and the wig itself.

[0065] Furthermore, such a wig securement band 600 may include one or more pieces of the hook and loop hair grippers 610. For instance, said hook and loop hair grippers 610 may be positioned on the inner surface 604 of the securement band 600, such that they reside close to the nape of the wearer's neck. Specifically, the hook and loop hair grippers 610 may be positioned towards a bottom portion of the inner surface 604 proximal to an adjustable segment 612. These hook and loop hair grippers 610 may provide additional securement by engaging with the wearer's natural hair in this area.

[0066] In one embodiment, the wig securement band 600 described above may feature a mesh panel 614. Such a panel 614 may incorporate identical features as those described above. Alternatively, said wig securement band 600 may not feature the mesh panel 614.

[0067] Moreover, the adjustable segment 612 of said wig securement band 600 may incorporate an elastic material to provide flexibility in sizing. Such an elastic component may work in conjunction with an adjustment tensioner 616 to allow wearers to customize the fit of the band 600 to their specific head size and shape.

[0068] It is contemplated that the hook and loop hair grippers may be utilized in a plurality of applications to adhere a hair accessory to the wearer.
