Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If hair conditioners are used to prevent and alleviate hair damage, then hair conditioning effect is improved, but hair volume is reduced and sticky feeling occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the hair care routine into separate functions: shampoo for cleaning and scalp health, and conditioner for conditioning. The shampoo composition focuses on scalp treatment and hair growth prevention without heavy conditioning agents, while conditioner is applied separately to hair ends only, preventing volume loss while maintaining conditioning benefits
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different treatments to different parts of the hair system: the shampoo composition targets the scalp and hair roots with active ingredients for blood circulation and hair growth, while avoiding heavy oils on the hair shafts that would reduce volume. Conditioning is localized to hair ends where it is most needed
2Reliability
If natural herbal extracts are added to prevent hair loss, then hair loss prevention effect is improved, but composition complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple herbal extracts with complementary mechanisms into a single shampoo formulation. Ingredients like ginseng (blood circulation), Angelica gigas (5α-reductase inhibition), and capsaicin (scalp stimulation) work synergistically to prevent hair loss while maintaining a manageable composition through standardized extraction methods
Solution Approach 2:
The shampoo composition serves multiple functions simultaneously: cleaning, scalp stimulation, blood circulation improvement, and hair loss prevention. The herbal extracts are selected to provide overlapping benefits that address various causes of hair loss through different mechanisms
