Interchangeable wiglet with anchor cap apparatus and method

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a detachable, self adhesive, multi-piece wiglet and anchor cap system. This system is made up of individual shapes and sizes that accommodate users with full to no natural hair strands seeking full to partial hair coverage. The Interchangeable Wiglet is made up of base portions for the user head's ear, temple, nape, front, top, and crown. Together, these base portions allow an infinite number of variations depending on the exact three dimensional surface contours of the user's head. The Interchangeable Wiglet is individually crafted of a plurality of natural, synthetic, or man made hair-like strands, made of various textures, colors, and lengths and are attached to plurality of the base portions. Each base portion is made of elastic material together with material strips affixed with a complementary double-sided fastening system that acts to connect the base portions to the anchor cap unit.

1 . An interchangeable wiglet apparatus for a user having a scalp, a rear neck area, temples, and ears comprising:
 an anchor cap sized to cover a portion of the scalp, the anchor cap including a plurality of elastic pieces;   a first plurality of at least one of hairs and fibers being affixed to the anchor cap;   a plurality of modular base portions removeably affixable to the anchor cap, each base portion including a netting and at least one of an adhesive element and a fastener disposed along at least a portion of the periphery each base portion's netting; and   a second plurality of at least one of hairs and fibers being affixed to each base portion, at least a portion of the second plurality of hairs being affixed to the netting.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the base portions include at least an ear base portion sized to cover an area of the scalp proximate the user's ear. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the base portions include at least a temple base portion sized to cover an area of the user's scalp proximate the user's temples. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the base portions include at least a nape base portion sized to cover an area of the scalp-proximate the user's rear neck area. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the base portions include at least a crown base portion sized to cover a top area of the user's scalp. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive element is substantially commensurate in size with the elastic pieces. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further including a skin adhesive affixed to the anchor cap and disposed between the anchor cap and the user's scalp. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein each base portion is substantially commensurate in size to a corresponding elastic piece. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the anchor cap includes a netting, and wherein the netting of the anchor cap is commensurate in size with the netting of the base portions. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the base portions are adhered to elastic pieces. 
     
     
         11 . A method for assembling an interchangeable wiglet for a user having a scalp, a rear neck area, temples, and ears comprising:
 affixing an anchor cap unit including a plurality of elastic pieces, the anchor cap being sized to at least partially cover the user's scalp;   affixing a first plurality of at least one of hairs and fibers to the anchor cap;   affixing a portion of a plurality of modular base portions to the elastic pieces, each base portion including a netting and an at least one of an adhesive element and fastener disposed along at least a portion of the periphery each base portion's netting; and   affixing a second plurality of at least one of hairs and fibers to the netting of base portions.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the base portions include at least an ear base portion sized to cover an area of the scalp proximate the user's ear. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the base portions include at least a temple base portion sized to cover an area of the scalp proximate the user's temples. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the base portions include at least a nape base portion sized to cover an area of the scalp-proximate the user's rear neck area. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the base portions include at least a crown base portion sized to cover a top area of the user's scalp. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the adhesive element is substantially commensurate in size with the elastic pieces. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein each base portion is substantially commensurate in size to a corresponding elastic piece. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising affixing a skin adhesive between the anchor cap and the user's scalp. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the elastic pieces includes a netting commensurate in size with the netting of the base portions. 
     
     
         20 . An interchangeable wiglet apparatus for a user having a scalp, a rear neck area, temples, and ears comprising:
 an anchor cap sized to cover a portion of the scalp, the anchor cap including a plurality of elastic pieces and a netting extending a distance away from the elastic pieces;   a first plurality of at least one hairs and fibers being affixed to the netting of the anchor cap;   a plurality of modular base portions removeably affixable to the elastic pieces, each base portion including a netting and at least one of an adhesive element and fastener disposed along at least a portion of the periphery each base portion' s netting, the at least one adhesive element and fastener being engageable with the elastic pieces; and   a second plurality of at least one hairs and fibers being affixed to the netting of each base portion.
