Therefore, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented even in embodiments not specified in the present specification within the technical scope based on the description of the claims.
All of the contents of the above-mentioned patent documents are incorporated in the present specification as a part of the contents of the present specification.

In order to give the hair bundle a strong curl shape, heat may be applied while maintaining the rolled state of the hair holder. The hair holder described in Patent Document 1 does not assume that heat is applied while maintaining the rolled-up state of the hair holder. The document does not describe that the hair holder can be used stably in the temperature range (100 ° C. to 150 ° C.) used for the permanent to which heat is applied.

Patent Document 2 discloses a polyester film used for an electrically insulating sheet, an adhesive sheet, or the like, and has a different technical field from that of a hair holder. The document discloses the storage elastic modulus of dynamic viscoelasticity measured at 100 ° C., but does not disclose the storage elastic modulus measured at 150 ° C. In the field of polymer materials, it is known that the physical properties of a resin change at the glass transition point, melting point, etc. of the resin, and if there is a glass transition point, melting point, etc. between 100 ° C and 150 ° C, the resin Since the physical properties change rapidly, it cannot be said that the storage elastic modulus at 100 ° C. and the storage elastic modulus at 150 ° C. are in a proportional relationship. There is no description or suggestion in this document regarding problems and solutions unique to hair holders used in permanents that apply heat of 100 ° C. or higher. Further, although the document discloses that polyester is used for a film, it does not disclose that polyester is used for a non-woven fabric.

The hair holder described in Patent Document 3 does not assume that heat is applied while maintaining the rolled state of the hair holder. The hair holder described in the same document has a problem of spontaneous winding force of the hair holder, and does not assume that heat is applied while maintaining the rolled state of the hair holder. In the same document, there is no description about applying heat above a predetermined temperature in the method for manufacturing a hair holder.

Patent Document 4 describes a heat-resistant transparent container formed by using amorphous polyethylene terephthalate, and its technical field is different from that of a hair holder. The amorphous polyethylene terephthalate sheet described in the same document is not used as it is in the sheet form, but is used by heating to completely melt it in order to manufacture a container. Is different. It is described in the same document that the container described in the same document exhibits transparency and heat resistance by stretching the sheet and then heating it to 130 ° C.-200 ° C. to heat-fix it. In the field of polymer materials, when a transparent polymer film is stretched, fibrils and voids oriented in the stress direction are generated inside the film, and the part where these are generated has a different refractive index from other parts. It is known that bleaching crazes occur. The technique described in Patent Document 4 is considered to suppress craze. However, there is no description or suggestion in this document regarding the problems unique to hair holders including sheets containing non-woven fabrics. In the first place, since the sheet constituting the hair holder of the present invention is a non-woven fabric, transparency is not required. In addition, there is no description or suggestion in the same document regarding the habituation effect unique to a hair holder that imparts a strong curl shape to a hair bundle.

The present invention relates to a hair holder capable of maintaining the rolled state even when heat is applied while maintaining the rolled state of the hair holder, and a hair treatment method using the same.
The present invention also relates to a method for producing such a hair holder.

Hereinafter, the hair holder of the present invention will be described based on the preferred embodiment thereof with reference to the drawings.
The hair holder of the present invention is used to give a curl shape to a hair bundle.
The hair holder of the present invention is mainly used for treating human hair.

1 (a) and 1 (b) show an embodiment of the hair holder of the present invention.
The hair holder 1 shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B includes a tubular body 2 configured so that a hair bundle H can be inserted from an opening 1a at one end toward an opening 1b at the other end. .. The hair holder 1 has a longitudinal direction X and a width direction Y orthogonal to the longitudinal direction X.
The hair retainer 1 typically has two first and second sheets 22 that form the outer surface of the hair retainer 1. These two sheets 21 and 22 are long in the longitudinal direction X.
The hair holder 1 typically has a flat shape in which two such sheets 21 and 22 are laminated.
The first sheet 21 is located inside when the hair holder 1 is wound up. On the other hand, the second sheet 22 is located on the outside when it is wound up.

The hair holder 1 is a tubular portion located between a pair of side joint portions 24, 24 formed by joining the first sheet 21 and the second sheet 22, and the pair of side joint portions 24, 24. It has 26 and. The pair of side joints 24, 24 are formed on the side edges of the hair holder 1 along the longitudinal direction X.
The hair bundle H is inserted into the tubular portion 26 between the opening 1a at one end and the opening 1b at the other end in the longitudinal direction X. The longitudinal direction X of the hair holder 1 corresponds to the insertion direction of the hair bundle H.
The side joints 24, 24 are formed by suturing a sewing machine or the like, which has stronger bonding strength than fusion such as heat sealing, from the viewpoint of preventing peeling from the joint even when heated during hair treatment. Is preferable.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the hair holder 1 has both side edges parallel to each other along the longitudinal direction X. Instead, the edges do not have to be parallel to each other. In that case, it is preferable that the width of both side edges gradually increases from the opening 1a at one end toward the opening 1b at the other end. That is, in a plan view, the hair holder 1 preferably has a divergent shape from the opening 1a at one end to the opening 1b at the other end.

The hair holder 1 is preferably configured so that it can be rolled up along the longitudinal direction X. It is preferable that the hair holder 1 is configured to be automatically rolled up. Instead, the hair retainer 1 may be configured to be manually rolled up.
As a configuration for automatically winding up, for example, the hair holder 1 is wound in a state where tension is not applied to the hair holder 1 in the longitudinal direction X, and the hair holder 1 is stretched and a hair bundle is inserted. Later, when the stretched state is released, the hair holder 1 is configured to spontaneously wind up together with the hair bundle.
Such a configuration is achieved by one or both of the two sheets 21 and 22 constituting the hair holder 1 comprising a shape memory sheet in which the rolled-up state of the hair holder 1 is stored. be able to.
The shape memory sheet is made of, for example, laminated films having different heat shrinkage rates.

As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the hair holder 1 has an extension portion 4 in which the first sheet 21 extends outward from the tubular body 2 in the longitudinal direction X toward the opening 1a side. have. The extension portion 4 is integrally formed with the first sheet 21. When the hair holder 1 has the extending portion 4, the hair bundle can be more easily inserted into the tubular portion 26. The extension portion 4 may be formed of a sheet separate from the first sheet 21. Further, the hair holder 1 does not have to have an extension portion.

It is preferable that the hair holder 1 has a fixing member 5 that holds the wound state of the hair holder 1.
The fixing member 5 is preferably arranged on the outer surface of the extending portion 4.
It is preferable that the fixing member 5 can be detachably engaged with the outer surface of the second sheet 22.
The fixing member 5 is arranged in the hair bundle holder 3 so as to face a part of the outer surface of the second sheet 22, and is bonded to the part of the outer surface. Thereby, the hair holder 1 can be maintained in the form of the hair bundle holder 3.
Examples of the fixing member include a seat engaging member and a connecting member. Examples of the seat engaging member include a hook, a male member of a mechanical fastener, and the like. Examples of the connecting member include a magnet, an adherend-selective adhesive tape that joins only a specific substance, and the like.

The hair holder 1 completes the wound state by inserting the hair bundle from the opening 1a toward the opening 1b and then winding it together with the hair bundle. Hereinafter, the state in which the hair holder 1 is rolled up is also referred to as a hair bundle holder 3.
FIG. 2 shows an example of the hair bundle holder 3. In the hair bundle holder 3 shown in the figure, the opening 1b is located on the central axis C side thereof. By applying heat to the hair bundle in the state shown in the figure, curl can be applied to the hair bundle.
The present inventor has diligently studied a means capable of maintaining the rolled-up state even when heat is applied while maintaining the rolled-up state of the hair holder. As a result, heat is applied by using a sheet containing a polyester-based non-woven fabric as one or both of the two sheets 21 and 22 and having a storage elastic modulus E'of dynamic viscoelasticity of a predetermined value or more. However, it has been found that the morphology of the hair bundle holder 3 can be maintained. Polyester begins to soften as the temperature rises and the storage elastic modulus E'decreases. However, heat treatment is performed in advance to increase the heat resistance and the storage elastic modulus E', which suppresses the deformation of the polyester-based non-woven fabric and suppresses the deformation of the polyester-based non-woven fabric. The wound state of the bundle holder 3 can be maintained. The storage elastic modulus E'is a physical property value representing elastic properties. The larger the storage elastic modulus E'at high temperature, the more the polyester maintains the glass state and does not shift to the viscoelastic state, so that the polyester-based non-woven fabric can maintain its shape. That is, the polyester-based non-woven fabric can maintain its rolled-up state. Since the storage elastic modulus E'is high, the rolled-up state is maintained even when heat is applied to the polyester-based non-woven fabric. Therefore, even if the polyester-based non-woven fabric is cooled in that state, the hair bundle is maintained while the rolled-up state is maintained. The shape of the body 3 is memorized. Therefore, it is possible to maintain a shape suitable for rolling up hair even after using it once.
Furthermore, it has been found that the sheet has excellent durability and can be used repeatedly.
In the present invention, a sheet satisfying such a condition is used for one or both of the two sheets 21 and 22.

From the viewpoint of making the above-mentioned effect more remarkable, one of the first sheet 21 and the second sheet 22 has a storage elastic modulus of dynamic viscoelasticity measured at 100 ° C. and a frequency of 1 Hz as shown below. It is preferable that the sheet satisfies at least one of the numerical range of E'and the numerical range of the storage elastic modulus E'measured at 150 ° C. and a frequency of 1 Hz. Both sheets 21 and 22 were measured at the following numerical range of storage elastic modulus E'measured at 100 ° C. and frequency 1 Hz (hereinafter, also referred to as "condition (1)") and at 150 ° C. and frequency 1 Hz. It is more preferable that the sheet satisfies all of the numerical range of the storage elastic modulus E'(hereinafter, also referred to as "condition (2)").
The reason why the storage elastic modulus E'is defined at 100 ° C. and 150 ° C. is that the temperature range used in the heating permanent treatment is generally 100 ° C. or higher and 150 ° C. or lower, so that the hair holder of the present invention is stable in the temperature range. This is because it was considered appropriate to specify the storage elastic modulus E'at 100 ° C. and 150 ° C. for practical use.
In the hair holder of the present invention, the high storage elastic modulus E'of the sheet constituting the hair holder means that (i) the rolled state can be maintained even if heat is applied while maintaining the rolled state of the hair holder. And (ii) it contributes to both the ability to use the hair retainer repeatedly.
The first sheet 21 is a sheet that satisfies the numerical range of the storage elastic modulus E'measured at 150 ° C. and a frequency of 1 Hz as shown below from the viewpoint of improving the maintenance of the hoisting state at a high temperature where strong habituation is performed. Is even more preferable.
From the viewpoint of improving the maintenance of the hoisting state at a relatively low temperature in consideration of the burden on the hair, the second sheet 22 has a numerical range of the storage elastic modulus E'measured at 100 ° C. and a frequency of 1 Hz as shown below. It is more preferable that the sheet satisfies the above conditions.
Of the first sheet 21 and the second sheet 22, it is preferable that the first sheet 21 located at least inside in the wound state satisfies both the condition (1) and the condition (2), and both sheets 21 and 22 each satisfy the condition. It is more preferable that both (1) and condition (2) are satisfied.

From the viewpoint of improving the maintenance of the hoisting state at a relatively low temperature in consideration of the burden on the hair, in the condition (1), the storage elastic modulus E'of the dynamic viscoelasticity is 100 ° C. and a frequency of 1 Hz. It is preferably 50 MPa or more, more preferably 70 MPa or more, and even more preferably 90 MPa or more.
In condition (1), the higher the upper limit of the storage elastic modulus E'measured at 100 ° C. and frequency of 1 Hz is, the more preferable it is from the viewpoint of heat resistance, but from the viewpoint of flexibility, it is preferably 200 MPa or less. , 100 MPa or less, more preferably 96.5 MPa or less.
In the condition (1), the storage elastic modulus E'measured at 100 ° C. and a frequency of 1 Hz is preferably 50 MPa or more and 200 MPa or less, more preferably 70 MPa or more and 200 MPa or less, and 90 MPa or more and 200 MPa or less. Is more preferable.
Further, from the viewpoint of improving the maintenance of the hoisting state at a high temperature where strong habituation is performed, the storage elastic modulus E'of the dynamic viscoelasticity under the condition (2) is 19. It is preferably 2 MPa or more, more preferably 20 MPa or more, further preferably 30 MPa or more, particularly preferably 35 MPa or more, and even more preferably 40 MPa or more.
In condition (2), the higher the upper limit of the storage elastic modulus E'measured at 150 ° C. and frequency of 1 Hz is, the more preferable it is from the viewpoint of heat resistance, but from the viewpoint of flexibility, it is preferably 80 MPa or less. , 50 MPa or less, more preferably 45 MPa or less.
Under the condition (2), the storage elastic modulus E'measured at 150 ° C. and a frequency of 1 Hz is preferably 19.2 MPa or more and 80 MPa or less, more preferably 20 MPa or more and 80 MPa or less, and 30 MPa or more and 80 MPa or less. It is more preferably 40 MPa or more and 80 MPa or less.
The storage elastic modulus E'in conditions (1) and (2) is measured by the following method. The reason why the measurement temperature of the storage elasticity E'was set to 100 ° C. or 150 ° C. is that when hair treatment is performed while heating the hair holder using a permanent rod equipped with an electric heater inside, it is common. When the usable set temperature is set to 150 ° C, the temperature (about 150 ° C) and the outermost surface of the sheet forming the innermost surface of the hair holder 1, that is, the surface in contact with the permanent rod provided inside with the electric heater, are set. It depends on the result of measuring the temperature (about 100 ° C.) of the sheet to be formed.

[Measurement method of storage elastic modulus E'of dynamic viscoelasticity]
A dynamic viscoelastic device (“DMS6100” manufactured by SII Nanotechnology Co., Ltd.) was used. A strip-shaped sample having a width of 10 mm and a length of 20 mm is cut out from each of the first sheet 21 and the second sheet 22. These strip-shaped samples are raised at a frequency of 1 Hz from 20 ° C. to 300 ° C. at a rate of 10 ° C. per minute and measured in a tensile mode to determine the storage elastic modulus E'at 100 ° C. and 150 ° C.

From the viewpoint of facilitating the maintenance of the winding state and the viewpoint of adjusting the heating temperature in the winding process, it is preferable that both of the two sheets 21 and 22 are composed of only polyester-based non-woven fabric.

The polyester-based non-woven fabric contains polyester fibers having an ester of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and a saturated aliphatic alcohol as a repeating unit.
Examples of such polyesters include polyethylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polybutylene naphthalate and the like. These fibers may be used alone or in combination of two or more. It is also possible to use a composite fiber containing two or more of these polyesters.
Among these, a non-woven fabric having fibers containing polyethylene terephthalate is preferably used from the viewpoint of excellent heat resistance.
The polyester-based non-woven fabric may be composed of only polyester fibers, or may contain fibers made of polyester fibers and other polymers. Preferably, the polyester-based non-woven fabric is composed only of polyester fibers.
When the polyester-based non-woven fabric has fibers containing polyethylene terephthalate, it is more preferable that the fibers containing polyethylene terephthalate contain an amorphous portion. As a result, the hair bundle holder 3 can be provided with further heat resistance and flexibility. Whether or not it contains an amorphous portion is confirmed by the method described later. The amorphous portion is a portion where the orientation and spacing of the polymers are non-uniform.

[How to check for the presence of amorphous parts]
A differential scanning calorimetry device "PYRIS Diamond DSC" manufactured by PerkinElmer Co., Ltd. is used. Remove a 6.9 mg sample from the hair retainer. After enclosing the sample in an aluminum closed cell, the cell is set in an apparatus holder, and the temperature is raised from 25 ° C. to 300 ° C. at a rate of 10 ° C. per minute to measure the calorific value. It is known that the amount of heat changes with the temperature rise at the glass transition point. Therefore, the presence or absence of the glass transition point is determined from the change in the amount of heat, and the presence or absence of the amorphous portion is evaluated. The glass transition point is a physical property peculiar to the amorphous portion of the resin and is generally observed in the amorphous polyester, but it is also observed when the amorphous portion is present in the crystalline polyester.

Whether or not one of the two sheets 21 and 22 contains a non-woven fabric can be determined by observing with a microphone scope. Whether or not the fiber used in the non-woven fabric is a polyester fiber can be analyzed by infrared absorption spectrum measurement using FT-IR. The type of polyester fiber can be identified by nuclear magnetic resonance or thermal decomposition product analysis, and the measurement is performed according to the method described in the following book.

Next, a method for manufacturing the hair holder of the present invention will be described.
First, two rectangular sheets are prepared. Of the two sheets, one or both sheets are preferably polyester-based non-woven fabrics.
Next, it is preferable to place the other sheet on one sheet, superimpose the two sheets, and integrate the side portions of both sheets along the longitudinal direction.
Next, it is preferable to have a winding step (hereinafter, also referred to as "first step") for winding both the integrated sheets.
After that, it is preferable to have a heating step (hereinafter, also referred to as "second step") in which heat treatment is performed under the following conditions while maintaining the winding state.

From the viewpoint of imparting a storage elastic modulus E'of 50 MPa or more under the conditions of 100 ° C. and a frequency of 1 Hz, it is preferable to apply heat of 120 ° C. or higher while maintaining the winding state in the second step, preferably 140 ° C. It is more preferable to apply the above heat.

Further, from the viewpoint of imparting a storage elastic modulus E'of 19.2 MPa or more under the conditions of 150 ° C. and a frequency of 1 Hz, in the second step, it is preferable to apply heat of 160 ° C. or more while maintaining the above-mentioned winding state. , It is more preferable to apply heat of 180 ° C. or higher.

The heat applied in the second step is preferably 300 ° C. or lower, and more preferably 250 ° C. or lower, from the viewpoint of performing heat treatment without melting or thermally deforming the polyester-based non-woven fabric.

The heat may be applied in the second step in a dry state, or a method of immersing in an oil bath may be adopted. When heating with an oil bath, it is necessary to remove the oil after heating.
From this point of view, it is preferable to apply heat to the rolled-up hair holder by using superheated steam heated to a boiling point or higher. When superheated steam is used, the heating time is faster than that in the dry state, and the productivity is improved as compared with the heating in the oil bath. On the other hand, heating in a dry state is preferable to heating with an oil bath or superheated steam from the viewpoint of improving workability without requiring a step of removing oil, water, etc. after heating.

Next, with reference to FIG. 3, a hair treatment method using the hair holder of the present invention will be described.
The hair treatment method preferably includes a step (a) of inserting the hair bundle H into the tubular portion 26 of the hair holder 1.
The hair treatment method preferably includes a step (b) of winding up the hair holder 1 together with the hair bundle H inserted in the tubular portion 26 to form the rolled-up hair bundle holder 3.
The hair treatment method preferably includes a step (c) of heating the hair bundle holder 3.
The hair of the hair bundle H is preferably human hair.

In the hair treatment method of the present invention, in the step (c), the hair bundle H can be heated to 80 ° C. or higher while maintaining the rolled-up state. In the hair holder 1, since one or both of the two sheets 21 and 22 have a storage elastic modulus E'that is equal to or higher than the above-mentioned value, the hair is heated to, for example, 80 ° C. or higher. It can be maintained in the form of the bundle holder 3. As a result, it is possible to impart a strong curl shape to the hair bundle H.
In addition, the hair holder 1 has excellent durability and can be used repeatedly.
From the viewpoint of imparting a stronger curl shape to the hair bundle H, it is preferable to heat the hair bundle H with a permanent agent applied. Normally, if the hair holder is used with the permanent agent applied, the hair holder may be deformed due to the influence of the permanent agent and heat, and the rolled-up state may not be maintained or the outer diameter D may increase. By using the hair holder 1 of the present invention, it is possible to obtain the effect that the deformation of the hair holder due to the influence of the permanent agent and heat is suppressed and the hair holder can be used repeatedly.
In the treatment step, the hair holder 1 can maintain the rolled-up state and does not impair its durability even if it is heated to 90 ° C. or higher and 90 ° C. or higher in the treatment step. There is.

When the hair bundle H is heated with the permanent agent applied, it is preferable to heat the hair bundle H to 80 ° C. or higher using an electric heater. Normally, when the hair holder is heated by the electric heater, the electric heater is removed after the permanent treatment. However, by using the hair holder of the present invention, the electric heater can be used at any timing even after the permanent treatment. You can get the effect that you can remove the.
When heating using a permanent rod equipped with an electric heater inside, of the two sheets 21 and 22, the first sheet 21 located inside at the time of winding and in contact with the permanent rod has the above-mentioned value. A sheet having the above storage elastic modulus E'is preferable.

The hair holder of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately modified as long as it does not deviate from the gist of the present invention.
For example, the surface of the sheet constituting the "cylindrical body 2" may have irregularities by embossing or the like, or may be a flat surface.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to such examples.

[Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4]
The product name "Smash (registered trademark)" manufactured by Asahi Kasei Corporation was used as the two sheets constituting the hair holder. The sheet is a non-woven fabric obtained by a spunbond method using polyethylene terephthalate as a raw material fiber. The basis weight of the non-woven fabric was 100 g / m ² . The area of each embossed portion was 0.8 mm ² , and the embossing rate was 30%. Using such a sheet, hair holders having the shapes shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b) were produced. The length L1 was 300 mm, the length L2 of the tubular body was 250 mm, the length W1 of the tubular body was 86 mm, and the length W2 of the opening at the other end was 76 mm. Next, the hair holder was wound up so that the outer diameter D was 26 mm, and while maintaining that state, heat at the temperatures shown in Table 1 below was applied to prepare the hair holders of Examples and Comparative Examples. In all examples and comparative examples, heat was applied in a dry state. In all Examples and Comparative Examples, the heating time was 20 minutes.

For the hair retainers of Examples and Comparative Examples, the storage elastic modulus E', the presence or absence of an amorphous portion, and the exothermic peak and the endothermic peak were measured by the methods described above. These results are shown in Table 1 below.
Heat resistance was evaluated as a performance evaluation of the hair holders of Examples and Comparative Examples. The heat resistance was evaluated based on the following evaluation criteria. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1 below and FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). When evaluating with the hair actually inserted into the hair holder, it is difficult to prepare a hair sample having the same diameter and hardness of the hair to be inserted. Therefore, instead of evaluating the hair holder in which the hair was inserted, the heat resistance of the hair holder was evaluated by the following evaluation. If the heat resistance of the hair holder is high, it can be determined that the hair holder in which the hair is inserted can be maintained in a rolled-up state, and the hair holder can be used repeatedly.

[Evaluation of heat resistance]
The hair holder was wound so that its outer diameter was 26 mm, and heat of 140 ° C. was applied to the wound hair holder for 15 minutes. Then, the outer diameter of the hair holder was measured. The rate of change in outer diameter was determined by the following formula [1], and this value was used as a measure for evaluating heat resistance. The smaller the value of the outer diameter change rate, the higher the heat resistance.
Outer diameter change rate (%)
= ((Outer diameter after heating mm-26 mm) / 26 mm) × l00 ... [1]
After heating, when the end portion on the opening 1a side shown in FIG. 2 is separated from the wound hair holder and the end portion no longer draws an arc, that portion is excluded and the outer diameter after heating is excluded. To measure.

As is clear from the results in Table 1, the hair holders of Examples 1 to 6 have a lower rate of change in outer diameter and better heat resistance than the hair holders of Comparative Examples 1 to 4. I understand.
Further, as is clear from the results shown in FIG. 4 (a), when the storage elastic modulus E'at 100 ° C. and a frequency of 1 Hz is 50 MPa or more, the slope of the outer diameter change rate changes significantly, and the outer diameter change rate changes. It can be seen that it tends to stabilize. Similarly, as is clear from the results shown in FIG. 4 (b), when the storage elastic modulus E'at 150 ° C. and a frequency of 1 Hz is 19.2 MPa or more, the slope of the rate of change of the outer diameter changes significantly, and the outer diameter becomes larger. It can be seen that the rate of change tends to stabilize.
In particular, it can be seen that the hair holders of Examples 3 to 6 having a storage elastic modulus E'of 30 MPa or more under the conditions of 150 ° C. and a frequency of 1 Hz have particularly good heat resistance. Therefore, the hair holders of Examples 1 to 6 can maintain the rolled-up state of the hair holder even when heat is applied while maintaining the rolled-up state, and it can be expected to impart a strong curl shape to the hair bundle. ..

According to the hair holder of the present invention, even if heat is applied while maintaining the rolled-up state, the rolled-up state can be maintained.
