Abstract

A hair cooling and dehumidification apparatus includes a wearable headgear. The wearable headgear includes an outer layer, an insert layer, and an inner layer. The outer layer includes a supply port. The supply port is in fluid communication with a high-pressure storage tank via a vortex tube. The insert layer, detachably attached to the outer layer, includes a network of ducts and detachable insert elements. The ducts are in fluid communication with the supply port to receive a cooling gas from the vortex tube and distribute the cooling gas to the hair. The detachable insert elements are detachably attached to the insert layer via fasteners. The detachable insert elements, spaced apart to accommodate the network of ducts there between, comprise desiccant materials embedded within for absorbing moisture. The inner layer is proximal to the hair of the user to transfer the cooling gas to the hair.

Claims (6)

1. A hair cooling and dehumidification apparatus for cooling and absorbing moisture of hair of a user, the hair cooling and dehumidification apparatus comprising: a wearable headgear comprising: an outer layer comprising a supply port, wherein the supply port is in fluid communication with a high-pressure storage tank via a vortex tube; an insert layer detachably attached to the outer layer, the insert layer comprising: a network of ducts in fluid communication with the supply port of the outer layer, wherein the network of ducts receive a cooling gas from the vortex tube and distribute the cooling gas to the hair; a plurality of detachable insert elements detachably attached to the insert layer via fasteners, wherein the each of the detachable insert elements are spaced apart to accommodate the network of ducts there between, and wherein each of the detachable insert elements comprise desiccant materials embedded within for absorbing moisture; and, an inner layer detachably attached to the insert layer, wherein the inner layer is of a breathable material positioned proximal to the hair of the user to transfer the cooling gas to the hair.
2. The hair cooling and dehumidification apparatus of claim 1, wherein a hose is fastened to the supply port and the high-pressure storage tank via the vortex tube for transferring the cooling gas to the network of ducts.
3. The hair cooling and dehumidification apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of heater elements positioned within the detachable insert elements, wherein the heater elements are configured to remove moisture absorbed by the desiccant materials.
4. The hair cooling and dehumidification apparatus of claim 3, wherein the heater elements are electrically powered by an AC adapter plugged into a charging port positioned at a rear portion of the wearable headgear.
5. The hair cooling and dehumidification apparatus of claim 1, further comprising an adjustable opening positioned at a rear portion of the wearable headgear, wherein the adjustable opening is configured to allow the hair of the user to extend through the adjustable opening.
6. The hair cooling and dehumidification apparatus of claim 1, wherein the outer layer is of a breathable material. The hair cooling and dehumidification apparatus of claim 1, wherein the detachable insert elements are of a washable material.
