Abstract
Abstract An improved means for securing wigs, wiglets and the like to the head of the user and a method of using such means. The improved means are designed to secure the hair piece more firmly to the head while at the same time affording increased comfort to the user. In one embodiment, the improved means are secured to the head by working the hair of the user into a plurality of U-shaped hooking members to thereby provide a firm bond between said means and the hair. In an alternate embodiment, the improved means is held in place by tufting at least one, and generally a plurality, of locks of hair in slits provided therefor.
