Wig-Makers Guide
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) WASHINGTON.
Wig-makers who use foreign or artificial hair must tell potential customers what they are putting on their heads, the Federal Trade Commission has said. The agency, issuing a guide for advertising of wigs, hairpieces, toupees, and falls said that any mislabelling of content or false claims by manufacturers or retailers could result in prosecution for unfair trade practices. The guide bring wigs under safety standards established by the Flammable Fabrics Act. Wigs that fail to meet the standards may not be sold in the United States, the agency said. Among other requirements laid down by the board are: Hairpieces not manufactured . solely by hand may not be advertised as “handmade.” Wigs not designed specifically for a customer may not be called “custom made.” The term “virgin” hair may not be used unless a hairpiece contains only human hair that has never been bleached or dyed or had a permanent wave.
