Flexible hair piece and method of manufacturing

Abstract

A flexible partial or full wig cap for attachment of hair fibers to form a wig that is made of multiple panels sized and shaped to match the contours of a wearer's skull. The panels are made of a stretchable material which provides the wearer with a wig that eliminates itchy seams, reduces bulk, increases breathability, and reduces chafing to enhance the comfort and performance of the cranial prosthesis.
