Abstract

A treated hair to be implanted in the human skin is produced such that the lower portion thereof is turned to form a looped portion which has its end portion protruding at an acute angle from a hair proper and such that the intersection thereof with the hair proper is fixed by a fusing process. The treated hair may be an artificial hair made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin. The treated hair thus produced may be made up of two hair components fixed in parallel to each other but separated substantially at the hair proper from each other.
