Hair style treatment device

Abstract

A hair style treatment device comprises an arm body 2, at least one vibration means 3 disposed in one or the other arm 2A, 2B or in a device body 4A and generating vibration of a predetermined frequency, and at least one vibrator 9 disposed in one or the other arm 2A, 2B, wherein the arm body 2 is adapted to be able to hold or release the hair, and wherein the vibrator 9 is adapted to be able to apply vibration in the width direction of the arm body 2 and to transmit vibration from the vibration means to the hair thus held.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a hair style treatment device.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Conventionally, a treatment (permanent treatment) technique of giving a desired style to hair such as straight permanent or wave permanent is performed by dividing the whole hair into a plurality of sections before or after performing a softening treatment with applying or spraying a first liquid (also referred to as a softening agent, a reducing agent, or a cold liquid) onto the whole hair cleaned by shampooing, performing a heat or combing treatment or applying creamy substance to the divided hair, or wrapping the divided hair around hair rods or the like in the case of wave permanent, and then performing a hardening treatment by applying or spraying a second liquid (also referred to as a hardening agent, an oxidizing agent, or a cold liquid) onto the hair, removing the hair rods after an elapse of a predetermined time period if the hair is wrapped around the hair rods, and fina...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a hair style treatment device that can smoothly give a desired style to hair while reducing treatment time and keeping the hair style for a long term. The device applies a force in the stretching direction to the hair by repeatedly applying a vibration to the hair, exerting a strong styling effect while preventing damage to the hair roots. The device can be used at low temperatures and is effective in preventing hair damage. The device includes an arm body and at least one vibration means and can have one or more vibrators disposed in the arms. The vibration generated by the vibration means can be selectively applied to any of the vibrators. The amplitude of the vibration can range from 0.0001 mm to 10 mm and the frequency of the vibration means can be switched. The device can also have a temperature heater for applying heat to the hair when the hair is held. The part in contact with the hair is made of elastic material. The device can have one or more vibrators disposed in both arms, and the vibration from these vibrators can be applied simultaneously or alternately. The device can exert the cutting of cystine linkage, salt linkage, hydrogen linkage, and the like in keratin of the hair, reducing treatment time and facilitating the re-bonding of the cystine linkage and the hydrogen linkage thereafter. The strong styling effect is achieved with this hair style treatment device."

Problems solved by technology

This may be caused by unsuccessful cutting of the cystine linkage as a result of poor penetration of the perm solution which does not penetrate into the depth of the hair or by weak cystine linkage due to damage of the hair during the hair style treatment.

In fact, however, a sufficient style keeping effect is not achieved yet.

In addition, there is a problem that damage to hair increases if cutting is advanced by the first liquid to such a degree that revitalization of cystine linkage in keratin is impossible, and on the other hand, hair is damaged and the treatment to give a predetermined hair style cannot be performed if the treatment with the second liquid is incomplete.

In the conventional hair style treatment device, however, the force is applied to the whole hair, which causes a problem of applying damage to the hair, particularly heavy damage to hair roots.

The generation of such a strong vibration, however, could lead to damage to hair more than required, and thus it is not enough to solve the problem.

In Patent Document 4, however, attention is not focused on the use of stretchability inherent in the hair, and no sufficient solution is provided in respect of performing hair style treatment in an almost natural state.
