[0018] The foregoing aspects and many concomitant advantages of the present invention will be more readily appreciated as they are better understood with reference to the following detailed description, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Detailed description
[0019] Existing devices and processes for hair coloring typically exploit an oxidative chemical reaction that can be corrosive to tissues and is too time-consuming. With these approaches, typically, two compounds are mixed to form a hair dye composition, and the hair dye composition is then meticulously applied to the hair. These approaches are time-consuming but can produce colored hair that lasts three weeks or more. There is a need for devices and processes for applying hair dye compositions to hair and for drying the hair dye compositions so that the colored hair has a satisfactory duration. This disclosure addresses this need and other long-standing and unmet needs in art.
[0020] Figure 1 shows a diagram of a hair dryer with an applicator attachment fixed to it, used to ionize and apply a cosmetic composition to an individual's hair, according to aspects of the disclosure. An example of an attachment for a hair dryer includes an applicator that is configured to apply a cosmetic composition, such as hair dye, to an individual's hair. The applicator attachment can spray an aerosolized hair dye into an area adjacent to an outlet of the hair dryer when it is attached to the dryer. Hair, so that the hot air from the hairdryer coincides with the spraying of the setting spray. In this way, the cosmetic product can be dried with hot air, resulting in improved application and hardening.
[0021] In some embodiments, the attachment is configured for physical attachment to the hair dryer, for example, as an aftermarket accessory. The attachment may include a power connection (e.g., an AC power connection for use with a wall outlet) and / or a power source, such as a battery. The power connection and / or power source may be connected and configured operationally to activate the applicator, for example, following an input, such as a button press and / or processor-mediated activation. The attachment may include a housing and, optionally, examples of attachment means including, but not limited to, hook-and-loop fasteners, button attachments, clips, strap attachments, or the like.However, in other embodiments, the attachment is integrated into or integral with the hair dryer, or is supplied in combination with the hair dryer and is configured for physical attachment to the hair dryer.
[0022] In at least some embodiments, the hair dryer can be specifically configured to receive the attachment and may include, for example, an attachment site that can be modular for use with the attachment, optionally with one or more other hair dryer attachments. As such, in various aspects, the disclosure provides a hair dryer and an attachment for the hair dryer.
[0023] In some embodiments, the cosmetic composition is configured to be applied to an individual's hair. The cosmetic composition may be or include a hair dye that is cured by the hot air of a hairdryer. The hair dye may be intended for the application of hair dye to the individual's hair, for example.
[0024] As shown in [Fig. 2], a flowchart of an example of a method for drying an aerosolized cosmetic composition using an applicator attachment for attachment to a hair dryer and / or use with a hair dryer shows that such a method may include preparing the hair for application of the cosmetic composition; applying the cosmetic composition to the hair with the applicator attachment; and activating a blower on the hair dryer so that the hair dryer blows hot air onto the cosmetic composition on the hair. In some embodiments, the attachment may be fixed (and / or is fixed) to the hair dryer for ergonomic use of the blower and / or applicator, so that a user does not need to change their grip or change a held device to use these features of the combination.
[0025] In some embodiments, a spray zone of the fixing applicator and a portion of the hot air blown by the hairdryer coincide with a portion of the cosmetic composition on the hair, as shown in [Fig. 1] by way of non-limiting example. This allows a user to both style and color the hair using a combined device. As such, in some embodiments, the cosmetic composition can be applied using such a combined device that includes the fixing and the hairdryer. In some embodiments, the application of the cosmetic composition can be adjusted, for example, with the use of the combined device, for coating and covering the hair with the cosmetic composition.Examples of adjustments include activating and / or deactivating the application of the cosmetic composition as needed, adjusting the distance between the combined device and the hair as needed, activating and / or deactivating the spray of the applicator attachment and / or the blower of the hair dryer as needed, and similar.
[0026] In some embodiments, the hair is treated with shampoo, conditioner, plasma, hot air, or any combination thereof, to change the surface texture of the hair and enhance the penetration of the cosmetic composition into the hair and its adhesion to the hair. In some embodiments, the hair is treated with shampoo before, during, and / or after application of the cosmetic composition to the hair. In some embodiments, the hair is treated with conditioner before, during, and / or after application of the cosmetic composition to the hair. In some embodiments, the hair is treated with plasma before, during, and / or after application of the cosmetic composition to the hair. In some embodiments, the hair is treated with hot air before, during, and / or after application of the cosmetic composition to the hair.In some embodiments, an ion generator can be used to activate the aerosolized cosmetic composition, for example, before application to the hair. In some embodiments, one or more of these treatments and / or others can be applied using the combined device, for example.
[0027] In some embodiments, the intensity of the applicator and / or hairdryer spray, such as the air movement speed and / or heat level, can be adjusted as part of the application process. In some embodiments, the cosmetic composition can be aerosolized and / or supplied as a consumable for use with the combined device.
[0028] In some embodiments, the combined device may be a "smart hair dryer" which includes, among other features, one or more sensors which are operationally connected to circuitry configured to perform logical operations based on data received from one or more sensors for automated, semi-automated, or manually assisted application of the cosmetic composition to a portion of an individual's body. The logical operations may include all or part of a disclosure method and / or process, for example, optionally in combination with additional logical operations.
[0029] As such, in some aspects, the disclosure proposes a "smart hairdryer" computing device comprising circuitry configured to perform all or part of a process, and optionally, a system and / or network of computing devices comprising at least some of this circuitry. In some embodiments, the circuitry of a computing device is configurable with a processor and processor-executable instructions stored on a machine-readable, non-transient medium of the computing device, by way of non-limiting example, but other approaches to configuring the computing device's circuitry may be implemented in other embodiments.In some embodiments, the computing device includes a processor for executing instructions stored on a non-transient, computer-readable medium, enabling the processor to perform all or part of a disclosure method or process. Therefore, in some embodiments, a computing device includes a software application configured to perform all or part of one or more disclosure methods or processes, in any order or combination. However, in some embodiments, a computing device includes dedicated hardware circuitry. Additional circuitry configuration of the computing device may include networking circuitry, for example, circuitry configured for a wireless connection, such as a Bluetooth®, Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE), and / or Wi-Fi® connection, and / or a wired connection.The networking circuitry, in combination with the computer device circuitry, can be used to request, retrieve, and / or receive data from a remote server, for example. In some embodiments, the circuitry may include an operational connection of one or more sensors with the processor, or other circuitry, to perform logical operations and / or processes based on data received from one or more sensors, for example.
