Hair Waver System Using Interlocking Connectors
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hair styling methods, such as using perm chemicals and hot irons, damage hair and are costly, cumbersome, and time-consuming, failing to provide desired styles without compromising natural hair quality.
Innovation Solution
A hair waver system comprising interlocking components made from materials like Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or aluminum, with ergonomic design and anti-microbial coatings, that styles hair without heat or chemicals, using connectors like magnets, snap-on fasteners, and air-flow openings to protect hair quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If perm chemicals are used to treat hair, then desired hair style is achieved, but hair is damaged and natural luster is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces chemical treatments with a mechanical system consisting of interlocking waver components that physically reshape hair through manual manipulation and mechanical pressure, eliminating the need for damaging perm chemicals while achieving the desired wavy hairstyle
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces interlocking waver components as intermediary tools between the user and the hair, where these mechanical devices apply controlled pressure and shaping forces to achieve hairstyle changes without direct chemical contact with the hair
2Shape
If hot irons are used to style hair, then desired hair style is achieved, but hair is damaged and natural luster is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent substitutes thermal styling methods with a purely mechanical approach using interlocking waver components that reshape hair through manual pressure and manipulation, completely eliminating the need for hot irons and heat application
3Shape
If previous damaging treatments are used, then desired hair style is achieved, but the treatments are costly, cumbersome, and time consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the styling system into multiple interlocking waver components of different sizes and shapes that can be combined in various configurations, allowing users to select appropriate components for different hair lengths and desired styles, simplifying the overall process while maintaining versatility
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal styling system where a set of interlocking waver components can handle various hair types, lengths, and styling preferences through different combinations and configurations, replacing multiple specialized chemical and thermal treatment procedures with a single versatile mechanical system
