Claim:
A wig with integral clinging foundation for enhanced securement of the wig to the head of a wearer, said wig with integral clinging foundation comprising: a foundation base element, said foundation base element being substantially thin and flexible, said foundation base element having an inner side, an outer side, a crown portion, a forward periphery, a rear periphery, a right periphery and a left periphery; a plurality of hair strands, each said hair strand being attached to said foundation base element and extending generally outward of said outer side; a first securement fabric element, said first securement fabric element being flexible and having a first inner surface and a first outer surface, said first securement fabric element being in first connection with said foundation base element, said first inner surface including unidirectional piled fiber adapted to cause a first frictional engagement between said first securement fabric element and a first adjacent object in contact therewith so as to hinder movement of said first securement fabric element in a first frictional direction with respect to said first adjacent object; and a second securement fabric element, said second securement fabric element being flexible and having a second inner surface and a second outer surface, said second securement fabric element being in second connection with said foundation base element, said second inner surface including unidirectional piled fiber adapted to cause a second frictional engagement between said second securement fabric element and a second adjacent object in contact therewith so as to hinder movement of said second securement fabric element in a second frictional direction with respect to said second adjacent object; wherein said first connection is made proximate said forward periphery, said second connection is made proximate said rear periphery, said first and second frictional directions are generally toward said crown portion, and said second securement fabric element includes a readily reshapable strip therein, the shape of said readily reshapable strip being adjustable to provide additional pressure between said second inner surface and said second adjacent object.
