Description

  The present invention relates to a hair shape processing device and a hair shape processing method. Specifically, the present invention relates to a hair shape treatment device and a hair shape treatment method for imparting a desired shape to, for example, dry hair or hair coated with a reducing agent.

  By using a hair shape treatment device such as a hair iron, a person applies a treatment such as straight perm or wave perm to natural hair, or an artificial treatment such as treatment, to the extent that he deserves his satisfaction. Satisfies the aesthetic sense of self.

  For hair that can be said to be a bodily feature such as curly hair, which is to be solved from the viewpoint of self aesthetics, pay for it at specialized beauty salons, etc., and provide prescriptions for curly hair correction as a service (repeated every fixed period) The satisfaction of self-aesthetic is achieved.

  In addition, some hair irons have been proposed that allow people to clean up the treatment after treatment because the treatment time is shortened and the hair is not easily damaged during daily hair treatment at home or at home. Yes.

  For example, Patent Document 1 includes a pair of arm bodies 101 pivotally attached to a shaft 102 so that the proximal end side of the arm body 101 is formed as a grip 110, and the distal end side is associated with the opening and closing of the arm body 101. A hair iron formed as a hair clamping arm 111 that moves close to and away from each other is described. In addition, an electric heater is incorporated in the hair holding arm 111 to heat the hair holding arm 111. Further, the hair clamping arm 111 is covered with the heat insulating material 104 in a state where the clamping surface 112 is exposed.

Registered Utility Model No. 3057046

  However, in the hair iron described in Patent Document 1, since the hair is simply heated by a heating element (electric heater), the treatment time is compared depending on the hair quality and handling ability of the person using the hair iron. It took a long time.

  Thus, in order to obtain a state like a straight permanent including 160 to 180 ° C. and straightening hair, the high heat of the heating element of 180 to 200 ° C. is applied to the hair many times while rubbing the holding surface against the hair. There is a problem that the hair is damaged and it is difficult to process the hair into a desired shape.

  Also, in the treatment of hair shapes using heat, the user required patience, such as keeping the hot electric heater close to the head, face, collarbone, ears, etc. during the treatment. In addition, when the temperature is adjusted incorrectly, there are various problems such as severely damaging the hair or burning the scalp, forehead, face, ears, collarbones, and the like.

  The present invention was devised in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a hair shape treatment device and a hair shape treatment method capable of imparting a desired shape to hair while suppressing hair damage. And

  In order to achieve the above object, a hair shape treatment device of the present invention includes a first arm, a second arm having an end portion rotatably attached to an end portion of the first arm, 6000 in at least one of a first contact region that is a region facing the second arm of the first arm and a second contact region that is a region facing the first arm of the second arm. Vibration generating means for applying vibration with a frequency of ˜15000 Hz.

  Moreover, in order to achieve said objective, the hair shape processing method of this invention gives the desired shape to hair by giving the vibration of a frequency of 6000-15000 Hz to hair.

Here, since vibration with a frequency of 6000 to 15000 Hz is applied to at least one of the first contact area and the second contact area, that is, vibration with a frequency of 6000 to 15000 Hz is applied to the hair, the two arms always contact the hair. Instead, the contact and non-contact are repeated finely, and it is possible to avoid excessive pinching of the hair by the two arms (the risk of hair flattening).
The “first contact area” and the “second contact area” in the present invention indicate areas to be brought into contact with hair.

  In addition, if the frequency exceeds 15000 Hz, it becomes an ultrasonic region, and the liquid agent applied to the hair is instantly misted, so that it is not possible to freely use any styling agent of the user, and it is impossible to guarantee the efficacy of the drug. This is not preferable because there is a possibility that the ultrasonic waves may adversely affect the human body (particularly the brain).

  Further, the hair shape treatment device of the present invention includes a heating means attached to at least one of the first contact region and the second contact region, and having a ceramic coat applied with tourmaline or keratin. can do.

In this case, since the ceramic coat is applied, the frictional resistance with the hair can be reduced, and the damage of the cuticle can be reduced.
Also, when tourmaline is kneaded, negative ions are generated by the heat of the heating means and the pressure when it comes into contact with the hair, moisturizing damaged hair (especially dry) and repairing damaged cuticles. Can do.
Moreover, when keratin is kneaded, a protein component can be supplemented when the protein component of hair raise | generates a heat | fever metamorphosis by a heat_generation | fever means contacting hair.
Further, since the heating means repeats finely repeating contact and non-contact with the hair by vibration, excessive heating to the hair can be prevented and the protein denaturation risk of the hair composition can be reduced.

  In the hair shape processing device of the present invention, the vibration generating means may apply vibration having a frequency of 6000 to 10000 Hz to at least one of the first contact area and the second contact area.

  In this case, since the frequency is further away from the ultrasonic region, it is safe.

The hair shape processor according to the present invention can impart a desired shape to hair while suppressing damage to the hair.
The hair shape treatment method according to the present invention can impart a desired shape to hair while suppressing damage to the hair.

It is the schematic which shows an example of the hair iron of this invention. It is the schematic which shows the mode of hair when the hair iron of this invention is used. It is the schematic which shows the mode of hair when the conventional hair iron is used. It is the schematic which shows the conventional hair iron.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings to facilitate understanding of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an example of the hair iron of the present invention.

  A hair iron (an example of a hair shape processor) 1 of the present invention is attached to a first arm (rod) 2 and an end of the first arm 2 so as to be rotatable about a shaft portion 7 as an axis. And a second arm (rod) 3 having an open end.

  The hair iron has various forms such as a flat iron or a round iron depending on the shape of the first arm and the second arm. In the example shown in FIG. 1, a flat iron is shown.

  Further, the hair iron 1 of the present invention is a region facing the first arm 2 of the first arm 2 and the first arm 2 of the second arm 3 that is a region facing the second arm 3 of the first arm 2. The vibration generating means 4 is provided to apply vibrations having a frequency of 6000 to 15000 Hz to a certain second contact area 3A.

  Further, more specifically, the frequency of vibration provided by the vibration generating means 4 can be set to, for example, 6250 to 15000 Hz, 6500 to 15000 Hz, and 6750 to 15000 Hz.

Here, the vibration generating means 4 is incorporated in each of the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 as shown in FIG.
In the example of FIG. 1, vibration is applied to the first contact region of the first arm and the second contact region of the second arm, but the first contact region of the first arm and Of course, vibration may be applied to only one of the second contact areas of the second arm.

The hair iron 1 of the present invention is attached to the first contact area 2A and the second contact area 3A, and is a heating element plate (an example of a heating means) to which tourmaline or keratin is kneaded and ceramic coating is applied. 5) is provided.
Of course, the heating element plate may be attached to only one of the first contact area 2A and the second contact area 3A.

  The vibration generating means may be of any type as long as it can generate vibrations having a frequency of 6000 to 15000 Hz. For example, a wedge-type ultrasonic wave using an electric motor or a pressurizing element depending on frequency vibrations. A motor or a traveling wave type ultrasonic motor, an ultrasonic motor using a standing wave type / longitudinal bending multiple vibrator, or a motor using a resonance type / longitudinal bending multiple vibrator can be used.

  Moreover, the hair iron 1 of the present invention includes a control switch 6 so that the magnitude of the vibration amplitude can be controlled.

  Further, the hair iron 1 of the present invention can be used by increasing the amplitude by resonating the hair iron itself or by resonating the first arm and the second arm that are in direct contact with the hair. It is preferable to provide a frequency changeover switch so that the resonance frequency can be changed.

  In addition, changing the resonance frequency of the first arm and the second arm can change the thickness, width, and shape of the first arm and the second arm, change the curvature thereof, or For example, a vibration resonance adjusting mechanism may be provided.

  Further, the material of the high frequency vibrator is not limited. Further, the high frequency vibration generator for vibrating the high frequency vibrator is not limited. For example, such an electric signal generator that generates an electric signal in a high frequency region, a converter (piezoelectric element) that converts the signal from the high frequency generator into mechanical vibration in a high frequency region, and a high frequency vibration through a booster. Apparatus.

  Further, in the hair shape processor of the present invention, the form (structure, shape, material) is taken into consideration so that a large amplitude can be obtained so that a strong contact pressure can be simultaneously applied to at least a dozen hairs. However, if it is difficult to perform treatment by increasing the amplitude of vibration, it is preferable to attach a vibration isolating member near the control switch (gripping region), for example.

  In addition, when the frequency is constant and the input energy to the vibration generating means is changed, it is confirmed that the hair is shaped well by increasing the vibration amplitude by inputting large energy. It was done.

  Here, the hair shape processor of the present invention includes a first arm, a second arm having an end rotatably attached to an end of the first arm, and a second of the first arm. Generating means for applying a vibration with a frequency of 6000 to 15000 Hz to at least one of the first contact region that is a region facing the first arm and the second contact region that is the region facing the first arm of the second arm , The hair shape processor of the present invention does not necessarily have to include a heating means (heating element plate) in which tourmaline or keratin is kneaded and ceramic coating is applied.

  However, if the hair shape treatment device of the present invention is provided with a heat generating means kneaded with tourmaline or keratin and applied with a ceramic coat, the heat generating means repeats contact and non-contact with the hair finely by vibration. It is preferable because excessive heating of the hair can be prevented and the protein denaturation risk of the hair composition can be reduced.

Further, since the ceramic coat is applied, the frictional resistance with the hair can be reduced, and the cuticle damage can be reduced, which is preferable.
Also, when tourmaline is kneaded, negative ions are generated by the heat of the heating means and the pressure when it comes into contact with the hair, moisturizing damaged hair (especially dry) and repairing damaged cuticles. Is preferable.
In addition, when keratin is kneaded, it is preferable that the heat generation means come into contact with the hair, so that the protein component can be supplemented when the protein component of the hair undergoes thermal transformation.

Moreover, the hair shape processing method of the present invention uses the hair shape processing device of the present invention to move the hair between the first arm 2 and the second arm 3 and moves the hair at a frequency of 6000 to 15000 Hz. This is a method of imparting a desired shape to hair by applying vibration.
At this time, the heating element plate 5 attached to the first contact area 2A and the second contact area 3A comes into contact with the hair.

  In addition, the hair shape treatment method of the present invention is particularly carried out on dry hair, hair that has been subjected to protection treatment by applying or spraying a protective agent, or hair that has been applied with a hair treatment agent.

  Here, the hair treatment agent refers to a hair treatment agent, a hair styling agent, a hair mousse agent, a hair gel agent and the like.

  Prior to this treatment, it is preferable to diagnose what kind of hair the user's hair is.

  In this hair diagnosis, a diagnosis is made as to whether or not the wave perm is difficult to apply, how much the hair is damaged, and whether there is a difference in properties between the root and the hair tip. Thus, by selecting a set temperature of the heating element plate suitable for the properties of the hair based on the knowledge of the user, first, damage to the hair can be reduced and the present invention can be used effectively.

  For example, it is preferable to select a low temperature setting such as 160 to 180 ° C. for hard hair, 180 to 200 ° C. to obtain a straight permanent state including straightening, and 140 to 160 ° C. for soft hair. If the user is not sure, it is also recommended to check the optimum temperature by gradually trying from the lowest settable temperature of the hair shaper.

  In addition, one method for applying wave perm is to grasp a certain amount while combing the hair, align the bundle of hair from the hairline to the tip of the hair, and apply a wave (curl) in a certain direction to the hair with a hair iron. It is a method of processing into a desired shape by attaching or winding the hair rod so that a substantially uniform tension is applied from the hairline to the hair tip.

  On the other hand, one method for applying a straight perm is to align a bundle of hair that has been combed and gripped to a certain amount, from the hairline to the hair tip, from the hairline to the hair tip, and straighten with a hair iron. It is a method to process.

  By using the hair shape treatment device of the present invention, the shape imparting treatment such as wave or straight can be smoothly performed in a short time compared to the conventional case. This is considered to be promoted by applying vibration with a frequency of 6000 to 15000 Hz to the hair.

  In other words, no matter how much the heat generating plate that has been used to reduce frictional resistance has been used in the past, general users have not been able to avoid sensibly avoiding excessive pinching of hair (the risk of hair flattening). Forcibly and mechanically by vibration, the heating element plate and the hair are prevented by delicately repeating contact and non-contact, and as a result, excessive heating of the hair is avoided.

  It is also conceivable that the heat conduction from the heating plate to the hair surface physically becomes discontinuous rather than the temperature setting at which the hair straightening power can be exhibited for each user.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing the state of the hair when the hair iron of the present invention is used. As shown in FIG. 2, vibrations with a frequency of 6000 to 15000 Hz are divided by the user. In order to promote the alignment of the hair 8 bundles one by one, it is possible to apply the desired shape to the hair with the heat of the heating element plate 5 and the hair in more detail.
As a result, it becomes possible to give a delicate shape as compared with the conventional case, and the finish can be made beautiful.

  On the other hand, FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing the state of hair when a conventional hair iron is used, but without applying vibration of a frequency of 6000 to 15000 Hz, heat is applied by the hair clamping arm 111 to make the hair 8 When sandwiched, the hairs 8 are flattened at the same position without being aligned one by one.

  As described above, in consideration of the fact that the hair straightening power will be increased by the physical treatment of applying a predetermined vibration, in the present invention, for example, when a frequency up to 10000 Hz is used, it is applied to the hair. It is expected that the liquid treatment agent will be misted and have the effect of promoting penetration into the hair.

  Prior to this treatment, it is preferable to diagnose what kind of hair the user's hair is, but based on the diagnosis of the practitioner or the user's own knowledge, the nature of the hair By selecting a frequency suitable for the hair, it is possible to improve the efficiency of finishing in the case of thick hair and thin hair by performing trials for thick hair and thin hair, by trialing in the case of thick hair and thin hair. It is also expected to be explored.

  Therefore, a treatment agent is applied to one hair (ordinary thickness, hard hair), and some hair bundles are not vibrated, while another hair bundle is 6000 to 600. When treatment was performed using a hair iron of the same shape at the same time (about 7 to 8 seconds) while giving vibrations at a frequency of 15000 Hz, when vibrations were given, the recommended temperature (160 to 180 ° C.) was 10 It was confirmed that the desired shape can be imparted at a temperature of 150 ° C., which is lower by 20% to 20%, and the gloss of the hair is improved to the extent that the treatment agent used is brilliant. The same was true when the attached hair rod cartridge was installed.

Further, although tourmaline or keratin is kneaded into the heating element plate and ceramic coating is applied, for example, tourmaline or keratin can be kneaded into the hair contact portion of the hair rod cartridge and ceramic coating can be applied.
Even in such a case, the heat from the heating element plate is transmitted to the tourmaline kneaded in the hair rod cartridge, and negative ions can be generated.

  The hair rod cartridge has, for example, a concave portion configured to insert a hair iron arm (rod) and has a circular cross section.

  In addition, a treatment agent is not applied to one hair (ordinary thickness, hard hair), and some hair bundles are not vibrated, while another hair bundle is 6000 to 600. Even if processing is performed using the hair iron of the same shape at the same time (about 7 to 8 seconds) while giving vibration at a frequency of 15000 Hz, when vibration is given, from the recommended temperature (160 to 180 ° C.) It was confirmed that a desired shape can be imparted at a temperature of 150 ° C., which is 10% to 20% lower, and the gloss of hair is improved. The same was true when the attached hair rod cartridge was installed.

  In other words, when treatment is performed by applying vibration at a frequency of 6000 to 15000 Hz to dry hair or hair coated with a treatment agent, the treatment agent penetrates into the hair details in a shorter time than before. In addition, the effect is fully exhibited, and even when no treatment agent is applied, the time setting and the temperature setting of the heating iron plate of the hair iron can be set to give the desired shape. By making it lower, it is possible to reduce the heat burden on the hair and improve the finish.

  By the way, when applying vibration to the hair by vibrating the first arm and the second arm of the hair iron, roughly divided, a method of vibrating only one arm, a method of vibrating both arms, both There are three methods of alternately oscillating the arm, and in the present invention, any of these methods may be used according to the treatment shape of the hair.

  As described above, the hair shape processing apparatus and the hair shape processing method of the present invention apply vibrations having a frequency of 6000 to 15000 Hz to at least one of the first contact region and the second contact region, that is, a frequency of 6000 to 15000 Hz. Since the two vibrations are applied to the hair, the two arms do not always come into contact with the hair, but contact and non-contact are repeated finely, and excessive pinching of the hair by the two arms (the risk of hair flattening) can be avoided.

  Therefore, the hair shape processing device and the hair shape processing method of the present invention can impart a desired shape to hair while suppressing damage to the hair.

  In addition, since the heat generating means (heat generating plate) is attached to at least one of the first contact area and the second contact area to which vibration with a frequency of 6000 to 15000 Hz is applied, the heat generating means also vibrates, and the heat generating means Since the contact and non-contact of the hair are repeated finely by vibration, excessive heating of the hair can be prevented.

In addition, the vibration of the frequency of 6000 to 15000 Hz promotes the alignment of each hair bundle separately divided by the user. It becomes possible to apply the desired shape to the hair with heat and arms in more detail.
As a result, the hair shape processing device and the hair shape processing method of the present invention can give a delicate shape as compared with the prior art, and can improve the finish.

Moreover, since vibration of a frequency of 6000-15000 Hz is given to hair, when giving a desired shape, the time setting and the temperature setting of the heating element plate of the hair iron can be made lower than the temperature setting of the conventional hair iron. , Can reduce the heat burden on the hair.
As a result, the hair shape treatment device and the hair shape treatment method of the present invention allow a general person to perform hair styling daily at home in a shorter time than before in order to satisfy their aesthetics. Also, it reduces hair damage and makes the finish after treatment beautiful.
