Description

Hair iron {Hair iron}

The present invention relates to a hair iron used to apply a wave perm to hair, and more particularly, to a hair iron in which an iron body and a handle are separated.

Generally, a permanent rod, a perm agent, and a neutralizer are used to perm the hair.

A brief description of the pump procedure is as follows.

First, after applying the perm to the hair, it is wound with a perm rod and banded with a rubber band. Then, cover with a wrap or cap to block oxygen, apply a neutralizer, and remove the perm rod after a certain period of time has elapsed. Then, after washing with shampoo and conditioner, and drying, the perm procedure is completed.

For a quick perm procedure, the perm rod is heated to a specific temperature. In this case, a heater is mounted inside the pump rod, and the pump rod equipped with the heater is wired to a separate pump setter to receive power and generate heat.

However, in the conventional perm procedure using such a perm rod, since the perm is performed while the hair is wound on the perm rod, the cuticle of the damaged hair cannot be arranged, and there is a problem in that the perm is performed as it is in the damaged state.

In addition, there is a disadvantage that consumers cannot move easily because each pump rod is connected to the perm setting machine through electric wires, and there is a risk of electric shock if the electric wire is peeled off due to the perm medicine, etc. There is a problem that gets in the way.

On the other hand, a hair iron that performs a perm using an iron instead of a perm rod is widely used.

Therefore, in the conventional hair iron, curling is performed while the hair pressurized between the ironing body 2 and the clip 5 is pulled. Unlike a perm rod, the hair cuticle damaged in the process of curling is cleaned and a satisfactory perm is performed. The result of the procedure can be obtained, there is no risk of electric shock, and there are no wires, so there are various advantages such as free movement of the consumer and no interference with the perm procedure.

However, the conventional hair irons have to wait for a certain period of time until the ironing body 2 is preheated, so it is inconvenient to follow.

In addition, since only the ironing body 2 is heated, there is a problem in that the perm treatment is not performed smoothly as the temperature difference with the clip 5 at the initial stage of the perm operation is large.

In addition, there is a problem that the user has to perform the perm for a long time while turning the fixing handle 3 by himself, so there is a problem that a lot of strain is applied to the wrist, and the quality of the perm varies according to the skill of the user, so it is very difficult for beginners to use there is also
