Description

Hair perm tool and hair perm treatment method using the same {HAIR PERM TOOL AND HAIR PERM TREATMENT METHOD USING THE SAME}

The present invention relates to a hair perm tool and a hair perm treatment method using the same.

Demand for procedures such as perm and dyeing and styling tools such as hair dryers, hair irons, and rods are increasing in order to create various hairstyles regardless of age or gender.

In particular, hair irons and rods are not only widely used for hair perm procedures in beauty salons, but also are continuously spreading to general households. A hair iron is a tool that has a round heat plate and has tongs attached to curl the hair and maintains it for a certain period of time, and a rod is a tool that can fix the hair in a certain curl pattern during the procedure. If necessary, hair irons and rods may be used with chemical means such as hair perm chemicals or electrical means such as electric heaters.

On the other hand, in modern society where interest in appearance continues to increase, hair loss is a major obstacle to external expression, and is recognized as a field of disease, and various researches and developments are being conducted to prevent, treat, and supplement it. Due to increased stress, westernized diet, and internal and external factors, more than 30% of men in their 40s and 50s show hair loss symptoms, and the prevalence of hair loss in women is estimated to be more than 5%, and the age group at which hair loss begins is also 20-30 as it is gradually lowered.

However, various foods, drugs, and folk remedies to prevent hair loss not only lack verification of their effectiveness, but also require a lot of trial and error because there is inevitably variation in effectiveness for each individual, and plastic surgery and dermatological procedures In this case, there is a problem that is difficult to approach easily because it takes a lot of money.

In contrast, recently, a hair perm procedure capable of covering the hair loss area using the hair loss area and its surroundings has been proposed as an appropriate alternative in terms of effectiveness and cost. These hair perm treatments include a treatment method in which curls are given even to the hair closest to the scalp, a so-called root perm, and a treatment method in which aluminum foil is wrapped around the hair and then arbitrarily wrinkled to give irregular curls, a so-called foil A pump etc. are mentioned.

However, in the case of root perm, a rod is basically used to give a curl, and since a single treatment unit can only be wound in one direction along the surface of the rod, it is difficult to cover the hair loss area widely. In addition, since the curl pattern formed by the foil perm is irregular, it is difficult to intend to selectively cover the hair loss area during the procedure.

The present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and an object of the present invention is to effectively cover the hair loss area, to uniformly apply various curl patterns within a short time, and to improve the volume and durability of the curl pattern. It is to provide a hair perm tool that can be performed and a hair perm treatment method using the same.

In one embodiment, the interval may be 3 to 50 mm, and the angle may be 10 to 180 °.

In one embodiment, the rod may have a diameter of 1 to 10 mm.

In one embodiment, the rod is made of a thermally conductive material, and the grip part may further include a heat source for heating or cooling the rod.

In one embodiment, the first drive unit includes a spacing adjusting member including first and second inclined surfaces that are symmetrical to each other, and the pair of rods are moved by forward and backward movement of the spacing adjusting member, respectively. The distance may be adjusted while sliding along the second inclined surface.

In one embodiment, the second drive unit may include a motor for rotating the rotation unit.

In one embodiment, the third driving unit may include a controller providing the angle as a predetermined value.

In one embodiment, the grip unit may further include a power supply supplying power to at least one of the first to third driving units.

In one embodiment, the hair perm tool may further include a beauty tool provided at an end of the grip part.

Another aspect of the present invention is a hair perm treatment method using the hair perm tool, comprising: (a) generating a planar treatment unit by wrapping and compressing some of the hair with an inelastic sheet; (b) interposing the treatment unit between the pair of rods and bringing the pair of rods into contact with one surface and the other surface of the treatment unit, respectively; And (c) of the pair of rods, located at the bottom of the treatment unit, but with the first rod in contact with the one surface of the treatment unit as an axis, located at the top of the treatment unit, but the other surface of the treatment unit It provides a hair perm treatment method comprising the steps of rotating a second rod in contact with, bending the treatment unit upward by the first rod, and bending the treatment unit downward by the second rod.

The interval may be 3 to 50 mm, preferably, 5 to 20 mm. If the distance is 3 mm or less, the volume of the curl pattern may decrease, and if the interval exceeds 50 mm, the coverage of the hair loss area and the durability of the curl pattern may decrease.

The interval may be continuously and/or discontinuously adjusted within the above range, and may be fixed to a value set by an operator by a predetermined hanging part. In addition, the fixation of the rods 110 and 120 may be released by a predetermined release unit and adjusted and re-fixed at different intervals. When the interval is discontinuously adjusted, values of the interval that can be set may be 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, and 20 mm, but are not limited thereto.
