- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a revolutionary detachable and self adhering wiglet comprising a plurality of pieces, and an anchor cap system comprising at least two pieces plus a plurality of individual shapes and sizes that accommodate users with full to no natural hair strands seeking full to partial hair coverage over full or partial bare scalp regions of their heads.
- 2. Prior Art
- In the prior art, there have been wigs and wiglets which generally consisted of a single base lace skull cap with natural or synthetic hair affixed to said base skull cap whereupon a user would place the fully assembled wig or wiglet over their entire head. Sometimes, these one piece assembled wigs or wiglets were combined with a a head-dress, hat-like article, and/or head covering as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,804,003. The prior art was very limited in being able to properly fit the infinite variations in the exact three dimensional contours and shapes of the user's human skulls. The prior art was also very limited in the user being able to present only one hair design per wig, or, at best very few variations on a particular hair design by attaching one or two hairpieces as shown in U.S. patent application publications 2006/0065281 and 2006/0180171. The present invention overcomes these aformentioned deficiencies, by allowing the use of these individually crafted wiglet portions to allow the wearer to change his or her appearances by detaching a base portion with long, curly, blonde hairs and reattaching it with an alike base portion comprising different length, texture, and color (such as short, straight, and brunette hairs). This novel technical and design process will transform the wig manufacturing industry to new heights. It allows the user to be as creative with their desired looks without the experiences of a bad haircut, and or over heated and pulling hair extensions, and or chemical damage to their natural hairs and or scalp. This continuous connecting segment gives the user the luxury to build his or her custom hairstyle as well as detach so as to clean or reuse (reattaching on top of the anchor cap). These base portions can also be crafted adjoined to one another making the total less than eight pieces which allows an unlimited amount of variations based on the user's needs and tastes.
- The present invention relates to a revolutionary detachable and self adhering wiglet comprising a plurality of pieces, and an anchor cap system comprising at least two pieces plus a plurality of individual shapes and sizes that accommodate users with full to no natural hair strands seeking full to partial hair coverage over full or partial bare scalp regions of their heads.

- The present invention relates to a revolutionary detachable and self adhering wiglet comprising a plurality of pieces, and an anchor cap system comprising at least two pieces plus a plurality of individual shapes and sizes that accommodate users with full to no natural hair strands seeking full to partial hair coverage over full or partial bare scalp regions of their heads.
- Referring to the attached drawings, the preferred embodiment of the invention (Interchangeable Wiglet) comprises EAR BASE PORTIONS of opposite sides (1 a-left and 1 b-right); TEMPLE BASE PORTIONS of opposite sides (2 a-left and 2 b-right); NAPE BASE PORTION (3); FRONT BASE PORTION (4); TOP BASE PORTION (5); and CROWN BASE PORTION (6) all totaling eight base portions more or less allowing numerous embodiments of the subject invention, depending on the three dimensional surface contours of the user's head. The Interchangeable Wiglet is individually crafted of a plurality of natural, synthetic, or man made fibers of hair strands comprises various textures, colors, and lengths and are attached to eight more or less base portions. Each base portion is made of elastic materials, or transparent durable French lace construction, to skin-like monofilament, or any other skin toned or light weight base portions surrounded entirely or partially with a strip affixed with a complementary double-sided tape with a removable backing that acts as a fastener to and from the anchor cap unit. The hairline of the wiglet portions are crafted with a strip comprising additional hairs that give an illusion or appearances as being the user's natural hairs. The Interchangeable Wiglet's self adhesive anchor cap is designed to be used as a secured support and base frame attachment between the wiglet pieces and the user's head for partial or full coverage. These anchor caps are crafted as a pair (more or less) of opposite sides connecting the left base portion from the center of the front hairline; along the front temple downward to the lower front hairline of the left ear. The right base portion of the double-sided anchor cap is connected from the center of the front hairline; along the front hairline of the right temple; downward to the lower front hairline of the right ear. There are three variations of the preferred embodiment shown; Ca—for users with medium to full density of natural hairs desiring full coverage; Cb—for users with little to no hairs desiring full coverage; and Cp—for users with medium to full density of natural hairs desiring partial coverage. The base materials within the construction of each anchor cap comprises elastic nylon or polyester or any elastic synthetic materials surrounded by elastic net materials that encloses polyurethane strips throughout the entire base portion. The entire hairline of the 2 piece Self Adhesive Anchor Cap comprises a cut away durable transparent French lace material except around the rear of the right and left ear base portions. This area contains elastic net material to help add comfort to the user's head. The center of the anchor cap contains polyurethane strip extending vertically from the front to the rear with elastic net material affixed along the left side on the left base portion and the right side on the right base portion. The method to apply the 2 piece anchor cap comprises separating the user's natural hairs into 6 individual rows then braiding or twisting each row of hairs. After securing the ends down with a threaded needle the double-sided tape is aligned in proper position then pressed down on each part lines and or imaginary lines on the user's scalp to help build a support base for the anchor cap. Once completed the backing affixed on the double-sided tape isn't removed, instead one side of the anchor cap is aligned in proper position on the user's head; then starting at the front hairline remove the tape backing pressing the anchor cap gently into place (one section at a time) along the front temple hairline; then downward in the front of the ear hairline. Remove the tape backing from all part lines and center braid or twist then carefully press the anchor cap into place from the front then the top extending to the rear; then downward across the entire nape removing the tape backing then gently pressing the anchor cap into place one section at a time. Carefully align the ear base portion surrounding the user's ear. If excessive base material exists, gently tilt the cap over making small vertical slits to the base material until the cap lays flat and evenly (side by side). Repeat this method on the opposite side of the user's head aligning evenly. The method of applying the Interchangeable Wiglet portions comprises attaching each base portions in its proper place on top of the complementary anchor cap. Starting with the front hairline of the two Ear Base Portions; then the front hairlines of the Temple Base Portions; then the bottom hairline of the Nape Base Portion; then the hairline of the Front Base Portion; then the front of the Top Base Portion; then the upper Crown Base Portion extending downward to the top center of the Nape Base Portion. All excessive hairlines and base materials are cut then styled as desired. The hairlines on the base portions of the wiglet can also be placed on the part lines behind or above the user's natural hairlines giving the user the flexibility to blend his or her natural hairs into the hairlines or edges of the base portion. These individually crafted wiglet portions allow the wearer to change his or her appearances by detaching a base portion with long, curly, blonde hairs and reattaching it with an alike base portion comprising different length, texture, and color (such as short, straight, and brunette hairs). This novel technical and design process will transform the wig manufacturing industry. It allows the user to be as creative with their desired looks without the experiences of a bad haircut, and or over heated and pulling hair extensions, and or chemical damage to their natural hairs and or scalp. This continuous connecting segment gives the user the luxury to build his or her custom hairstyle, in an infinite number of variations, as well as detach so as to clean or reuse (reattaching on top of the anchor cap). These base portions can also be crafted adjoined to one another making the total less than eight pieces which allows the alternate embodiments of the subject invention.
