Abstract
In a wig, a hair-planting framework bulges outwardly as a whole to have a cap-like outer configuration. The hair-planting framework has a peripheral-edge frame formed generally into an elongated elliptic configuration, and interlocking chain-like thread elements each of which is formed by a filament so knitted as to have stretchability. The chain-like thread elements are arranged within the peripheral-edge frame in intersected relation. The chain-like thread elements are fastened to the peripheral-edge frame to define openings in the hair-planting framework. When the wig is worn onto a head of a wearer, strands of existing hair of the wearer are drawn outwardly through the openings and are blended with strands of hair planted to the hair-planting framework.
