Description

  The present invention relates to a permanent wave treatment method for hair and a permanent wave treatment method and an apparatus for the same that can reduce hair damage, have a good wave finish, and can perform a highly safe treatment compared to conventional methods.

  In general, perm processing is performed in the following steps. The process involves winding the hair around a rod, applying a permanent first agent containing a reducing agent to soften and swell the hair, washing away the reducing agent adhering to the hair, and applying a permanent second agent containing the reducing agent. In this process, the bonds inside are fixed by oxidation, the rod is removed, and the hair is dried.

  However, this general perm treatment method is a technique that has been widely spread. However, the wave of the treated hair has a drawback that it becomes large (sags) when dried, The holding period was not fully satisfactory.

Therefore, in recent years, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-262798 has disclosed a method in which a step of drying hair using a hair iron or a heating rod is added to the permanent treatment. In this treatment method, the first permanent agent containing a reducing agent is applied to the hair to soften and swell the hair, and then washed with water to wipe off excess moisture, wrap the hair around a heatable rod, and heat the rod. In this step, after drying the hair, a permanent second agent containing a reducing agent is applied to oxidize and fix the bonds inside the hair, and the rod is removed to dry the hair.
JP 2004-262798 A

  In this permanent treatment method using a hair iron or a heating rod, after the reduced hair is heated and dried, the internal bonds of the hair are oxidized and fixed (permanent second agent treatment). Even if it is made, it has the advantage that it does not become large and the holding period is long.

  In the preceding example, it is necessary to dry only with conduction heat, and it is necessary to increase the temperature of the hair iron and the heating rod. Therefore, it is usually 180 ° C. or higher for a hair iron and 100 ° C. or higher for a heating rod. The drying process is performed at temperature.

  Thus, since the drying process is performed at a high temperature, damage to the hair is increased. In particular, in the case of a heating rod, the hair tip portion having a high degree of damage is wound around the inside of the rod and directly receives the heat of conduction of the rod, resulting in further hair damage. Further, since the hair iron or the heating rod is brought close to the head of the person to be treated, there has been a problem that the head of the person to be treated becomes hot and uncomfortable.

  The present invention is intended to solve the above-described problems, and its object is to blow warm air over the entire hair and suck the warm air blown through the hair through the hair. Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide a permanent treatment method and apparatus that suppresses hair damage by reducing the drying temperature and reduces discomfort due to heat due to high temperature.

  The permanent wave treatment method of the present invention is intended to achieve the above-mentioned object, and the means according to claim 1 is the permanent wave treatment method, in which the reducing agent is applied and the hair that has become softened and swollen is washed with water. The step of winding the hair around the suction means side and the blowing means for supplying warm air from the outer periphery of the wound hair to blow warm air on the hair and sucking the warm air through the hair by the suction means And drying the hair.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, after the drying step, cooling is performed by sucking outside air by the suction means.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the temperature or humidity is measured by the sensor provided in the blower means to constantly monitor the hair drying state, and the warm air is blown in the optimum hair drying state. Alternatively, and / or suction is stopped.

  According to a fourth aspect of the permanent processing apparatus of the present invention, there is provided a rod having a plurality of air suction ports formed on the peripheral surface, and an air that is inserted into a hollow hole of the rod and coincides with the air suction port. A suction means for making negative pressure in the suction pipe having a suction port, and a blower means that is arranged on the peripheral surface of the rod mounted on the suction means and blows warm air toward the rod. .

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a rod having one end closed and a large number of air suction ports formed on the peripheral surface, a suction unit mounted on the open side of the other end of the rod to bring the inside of the rod into a negative pressure state, It is comprised on the surrounding surface of the said mounted | worn rod, and is comprised from the ventilation means which ventilates warm air toward this rod.

  The means of claim 6 has a suction tube for winding the hair in which an air suction port is formed, a suction means for making the inside of the suction tube a negative pressure state, and a peripheral surface of the suction tube around which the hair is wound It is comprised from the ventilation means which is arrange | positioned and ventilates warm air toward hair.

  The means of claim 8 is characterized in that, in the above-mentioned claims 4 and 5, engagement means for preventing the rod from falling off from the blowing means in a state where the rod is fitted to the blowing means is provided. To do.

  As described above, the present invention sucks air from the inside of the rod while the hair is wound around the rod, and blows warm air to the entire hair, thereby allowing the rod to be applied to the rod by simultaneous action of blowing and sucking. Since the wound hair is dried, the drying temperature can be kept low, hair damage can be reduced, and the discomfort caused by the heat caused by the high temperature to the subject can be reduced.

  In addition, after the drying step, the hair can be cooled by sucking outside air by the suction means, and the temperature of the warmed hair after drying is quickly reduced, and the transition to the next treatment is accelerated.

  Furthermore, by incorporating a temperature or humidity sensor in the air blowing means, the wet state of the hair wound around the rod can be monitored, and the hair can be dried in an optimal state.

The positional displacement between the air suction port and the air insertion hole of the rod mounting portion of the suction means entering the rod is prevented, and the flow of warm air from the blower means is performed smoothly.

  Furthermore, the hair is directly wound around the suction tube in the suction means and dried to eliminate the need for the rod, and there is an effect that the product cost for storing the rod is reduced and management due to the need for storage is required. Is.

  The present invention sucks the air in the rod around which the hair is wound, blows warm air from the entire circumference of the hair, and sucks the hot air blown through the hair from the inside of the rod.

A first embodiment of a permanent wave processing apparatus according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a cylindrical rod for winding the hair of the person to be treated, and a large number of air suction ports 11 are formed along the longitudinal direction. Reference numeral 2 denotes a suction means to which the rod 1 is attached, and a suction pipe 21 having an air suction port 21a formed at the same position as the air suction port 11 inserted into the rod 1 and having a closed end. A holding portion 22 having a suction hole 22a communicating with the suction tube 21 and a suction source for drawing air into one end of the holding portion 22 (see FIG. (Not shown) and a flexible suction pipe 23 for connection.

  Air does not flow in unless the holes of the air suction port 11 formed in the rod 1 and the air suction port 21a formed in the suction tube 21 are made to coincide with each other, and the rod 1 is connected to the suction tube 21. Since it is necessary to prevent it from coming out further, as shown in FIG. 4, the engagement is made up of a groove 12 formed at the open end of the rod 1 and a protrusion 21 b with which the groove 12 is engaged with the end of the suction pipe 21. By forming a coupling means and engaging the groove 12 and the protrusion 21b, the two air suction ports 11 and 21a are brought into communication, and the rod 1 is prevented from coming out of the suction tube 21.

  Reference numeral 3 denotes a blowing means for blowing warm air from the outer periphery of the rod 1, and a covering tube 31 having one end opened and a long hole 31 a for passing the hair wound around the rod 1 along the longitudinal direction. And a fan 32 and a heater 33 housed on the closed side of the covering tube 31, and a sensor 34 that is fixed to the inner wall surface of the covering tube 31 and detects the temperature or humidity of the hair.

  Note that a lead wire lead-out portion 31 b for leading lead wires from the fan 32, the heater 33, and the sensor 34 to the outside is integrally formed at one end of the cover tube 31. Although not shown, a filter is attached to the cover tube 31 on the back side of the fan 32 and an air hole is opened.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the suction of the suction means 2 is performed by an external suction source. On the other hand, in FIG. 2, a fan 24 is attached to the end face of the grip portion 22, and air containing moisture sucked by the fan 24 is used. Is different in that it is discharged to the outside through the suction pipe 23.

Next, an example of a method for performing a permanent using the permanent wave processing apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
First, the first liquid, which is a permanent wave reducing agent, is applied to the hair and left for 5 to 20 minutes to soften and swell the hair. Next, the hair after the softening treatment is washed to remove excess water. Wind the hair from which excess water has been removed around the rod 1. In this work process, the hair is first wound around the rod 1 and the first liquid is applied, and after being left for the time described above, the hair may be washed while the rod 1 is wound.

  Then, the rod 1 around which the hair is wound is fitted into the suction tube 21 in the suction means 2. At this time, by engaging the groove 12 of the rod 1 shown in FIG. 4 with the protrusion 21b formed on the suction tube 21, the air suction ports 11 and 21a of the rod 1 and the suction tube 21 are communicated with each other. 1 is fixed to the suction means 2.

  Next, the open end of the cover tube 31 is fitted and fixed to the step portion 22 b of the suction unit 2 while the hair wound around the rod 1 is inserted into the long hole 31 a of the cover tube 31 in the blowing unit 3. In this state, when the fan 32 and the heater 33 are energized and the suction source or the fan 24 on the suction means 2 side is driven, the air heated by the heater 32 is covered with the fan 33 and blown into the pipe 31.

  The warm air blown into the cover tube 31 is blown over the entire hair wound around the rod 1 and the inside of the rod 1 is in a negative pressure state on the suction means 2 side. It is sucked into the suction tube 21 through 11 and 21a and discharged to the outside. The warm air from the air blowing means 3 is about 60 ° C., but if it is higher than this, the hair is damaged, so the temperature of the warm air is preferably 60 ° C. or less, and the temperature on the low temperature side is low. If it passes, drying will take time, so the practitioner may select and set appropriately according to the processing time.

  Thus, since the warm air sent from the air blowing means 3 is forcibly sucked by the suction means 2, the amount of the hair per unit time that passes through the warm air hair increases and the wet hair is the rod 1 itself. Compared with the method in which heat is generated and dried by the conduction heat, the drying rate is higher and the drying can be performed at a lower temperature. In the state where the drying is performed, moisture from the hair enters the absorption means 2, but the moisture is discharged to the outside through the suction pipe 23.

  The degree of dryness of the hair is determined by detecting the atmosphere in the cover tube 31 by means of the temperature or humidity sensor 34. Therefore, it is possible to determine how much the hair is dry. If the current from the sensor 34 reaches the preset value, the power supply to the fan 32, the heater 33, and the suction source of the suction means 3 or the fan 24 is cut off. The drying operation can be completed in a constant drying state regardless of the skill level of the above.

  When the drying process is completed, the air blowing means 3 is removed, and only the suction means 2 is operated to cool the heated hair by suction. When the cooling is completed, the second liquid, which is a permanent wave oxidizing agent, is applied to the hair wound around the rod 1 and left for 1 to 15 minutes. When the hair has been oxidized, the rod 1 is removed, the hair is washed, dried, and styling is performed to complete the operation.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the first embodiment described above, the procedure is that the rod 1 is fitted into the suction tube 21 of the suction means 2 in a state in which the practitioner winds the hair of the surgeon around the rod 1 until the perm is applied. In the embodiment, after the rod 1 is fitted in the suction tube 21 in advance, only the distal end portion of the hair is wound around the rod 1, and then the rotational force of the motor 25 built in the suction means 2 side is used. In this embodiment, the winding time of the hair around the rod 1 is shortened by winding a predetermined amount.

  In the embodiment of FIG. 5, a bulging portion 22b is formed on the proximal end side of the gripping portion 22 in the suction means 2 in the first embodiment of FIG. 1, and a motor 24 is mounted in the bulging portion 22b and a suction pipe. The pipe 21b extended from the nozzle 21 to the bulging portion 22b is engaged with the output shaft of the motor 24 through a gear 24a. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the fan 24 of the suction means 2 is provided inside, as in FIG. 2 in the first embodiment.

  With such a configuration, in a state where the rod 1 is attached to the suction tube 21 in the suction means 2, the operator winds the tip of the hair of the person to be treated around the rod 1, and then turns on a switch (not shown). Thus, by rotating the motor 24, the rod 1 can be rotated and wound to the portion where the hair perm is applied. Therefore, the hair can be easily wound around the rod 1 in a short time. Since the subsequent drying of the hair is the same as that described above, the description thereof is omitted.

  Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the suction tube 21 in the suction means 2 shown in the second embodiment is cut at the base, and the entire length is shortened so as not to take up a storage area when the suction means 2 is stored. .

  Thus, when the rod 1 having both ends opened as described above when the suction tube 21 is shortened, the warm air from the blowing means 3 passes through the rod 1 and is sucked into the suction means 2. Therefore, the rod 1 used in this embodiment uses a rod whose one end is closed. Then, the rod 1 can be fixed to the suction means 2 by fixing the opening side of the rod 1 to the short suction pipe 21 'to the engaging means which is a protrusion 21a' for preventing rotation and fixing. Similar to the second embodiment, the hair can be easily wound around the rod 1.

  In this embodiment, the rod 1 is rotated by the motor 24. However, the suction tube 21 'in the first embodiment may be changed to a short suction tube 21'. Alternatively, a suction fan 32 may be incorporated. And since it is the same as that of the 1st Example about drying of hair, explanation is omitted.

  In any of the above-described embodiments, the hair is wound around the rod 1 and the rod 1 is fitted and fixed to the suction tube 21 of the suction means. In this embodiment, the hair is sucked so that the hair can be wound easily. The material and shape of the tube 21 are selected, and the rod 1 is unnecessary.

  FIG. 8 shows the hair directly wound around the suction tube 21 of FIG. 1 in the first embodiment. In this case, the practitioner winds the hair while rotating the suction tube 21 so as to rotate the suction means 2, and FIG. 9 is directly applied to the suction tube 21 of FIG. 6 in the second embodiment described above. It wraps hair. In this case, since the suction tube 21 rotates by rotating the motor 24, the hair can be wound around the suction tube 21 more easily than the suction means 2 shown in FIG.

  And since the drying of the hair directly wound around the suction tube 21 without using the rod 1 is performed in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment, the same effect can be obtained.
