Transitory Colored Hair Extension Segmentation Process
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current hair color processing methods for hair extensions and wigs are either semi-permanent or permanent, which may not meet the demand for temporary, vibrant color options without damaging natural hair.
Innovation Solution
A process creating transitory colored hair by segmenting hair strands into three sections: a top segment attached near the scalp, a middle segment with a mixture of two colors, and a bottom segment with a vibrant color, using two or three color groups of varying lengths that are combined and color-processed accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If hair color processing is performed to achieve vibrant colored hair, then the desired hair color effect is improved, but the permanence of the color increases (semi-permanent or permanent)
Solution Approach 1:
The hair piece is divided into three distinct segments: a top segment with first color, a middle segment with transitory color (mixture of both colors), and a bottom segment with second color. This segmentation allows different color properties in different regions, achieving vibrant color at the ends while maintaining a natural appearance at the scalp area.
Solution Approach 2:
Different segments of the hair piece have different color properties tailored to their specific locations. The top segment has one color, the bottom segment has another color, and the middle segment has a transitional mixture. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction by allowing vibrant color where needed without requiring permanent processing of the entire hair piece.
2Illumination intensity
If permanent or semi-permanent hair color processing is performed, then the desired hair color is achieved, but the user's natural hair may be damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The color processing is extracted from the user's natural hair and applied only to the hair piece strands. By separating the coloring function from the user's natural hair, the harmful effects of chemical processing are eliminated while still achieving the desired vibrant color effect on the hair piece.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of coloring the user's natural hair, a hair piece with pre-applied colors is created as a copy or substitute. The hair piece replicates the desired colorful effect without subjecting the user's natural hair to damaging chemical processes.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If hair extensions or wigs are used to add color, then the user's natural hair is protected from damage, but the color is limited to solid colors without transitory effects
Solution Approach 1:
The hair piece uses composite coloration where strands of two different colors (first color and second color) are combined within the same hair piece. The middle segment specifically contains a mixture of both colors creating a transitory effect, combining the protective benefit of extensions with enhanced color variety.

AI summary
Transitory colored extension or wig hair have colors segregated in longitudinal strands of three horizontal sections. Top segment, attached to user's scalp has hair of a first solid color. A bottom segment composed of terminal ends of the hair strands have second solid color. A middle segment have hair strands of a mixture of the first and second solid color and form a transitory color. Transitory colored hair is formed by combining a hair group 1 and a hair group 2. Wherein hair group 1 of a certain length is color processed to a color A and hair group 2, approximately two-thirds the length of group 1 is color processed to color B. The transitory colored hair formed by combining the hair group 1+2 as a combination hair 1+2. The top one-third segment of combination 1+2 is color processing to a color C.
