Description

The invention relates to the field of hairdressing, and in particular to a method for changing the length of short hair to longer and increasing the volume of hair [A41G 5/00, A41G 5/004, A41G 5/0046, A41G 5/0053, A41G 5/0066].

From the prior art known HAIR EXTENSION METHOD [US2009188514 (A1), publ.: 30.07.2009], which includes the following steps: preparation of hair extensions depending on the hairstyle and length of the original hair; grouping, including actions to separate the original hair into an upper region near the top of the head and a lower region near the neck; grouping the lower region into several original groups of hair, each of which has an end and several strands; as well as grouping hair extensions into several groups corresponding in number to the original hair groups; and each group of hair extensions having an end and a plurality of strands substantially corresponding in number to the number of strands of the respective original hair group; gluing, including the steps of preparing a sleeve with hot melt adhesive on each group of hair extensions; the end of each group of hair extensions and the end of the corresponding original group of hair are adjacent and overlap each other, forming an overlapping section; and the overlapping section is mixed with adhesive and subjected to hot pressing; wrapping, including the act of sliding a sleeve of hot melt over an overlapping section; the hot melt adhesive sleeve is hot pressed and melted around the overlapping section to further bond the extension hair group and the original hair group together; and shaping, wherein the top of the original hair is laid to cover the overlapping portions, and the original hair is further styled.

Also known is a METHOD OF MANUFACTURING HAIR FOR EXTENSIONS AND HAIR EXTENSIONS [WO2021203171 (A1), publ.: 10/14/2021], containing the steps in which:

a. provide many strands of hair,

b. provide at least one strip of keratin;

c. align strips of keratin across the strands of hair;

d. by applying the frequency of ultrasound to the keratin strip, the keratin strip is connected to the hair strands.

The disadvantage of analogues is the high labor intensity of hair extensions, due to the need for a scrupulous selection of donor hair in terms of thickness and, and when using several shades at the same time, by shade. The duration of the technology invariably leads to fatigue of the master and the client, a decrease in the attention of the master and, as a result, can lead to a decrease in the reliability of the connection of donor hair with one's own hair, a decrease in aesthetics due to improperly selected shade and thickness.

The closest in technical essence is the METHOD OF HIDDEN HAIR FASTENING [RU2756269 (C1), publ.: 29.09.2021], including:

- preliminary hair preparation, in which at least one base - a hair web - is isolated and a donor strand is prepared;

- the beginning of the formation of a fixing capsule, in which the base is pulled and smoothed - the hair web - with one hand, the donor strand is inserted into the base-web and their mutual fixation with the other hand;

- and gluing the donor strand, in which glue is applied to the cut of the upper part of the donor strand, pressed against the base - the hair sheet, impregnated with glue, while one of the hands fixing the donor strand performs constant tactile control of the tension of the donor strand and the base - hair sheets, then with one hand they stretch and fix the base - the hair sheet - with the donor strand, and with the other hand they fold the base - the hair sheet - in half, wrapping the donor strand, and make an additional turn with the hand with the base - the hair sheet, without opening the fingers, complete wrapping, after that, the formation of the fixing capsule is completed by uniform compaction with the fingers, at the end of which an activator is applied, characterized in that cyanoacrylate glue is used as an adhesive, while the formation of the fixing capsule is made conical, expanding towards the bottom, and during preliminary preparation, the hair structure is determined, depending on which the number and place are chosen anosed activator.

The technical problem of the prototype is the lack of disclosure in the description of the invention of the preparation of donor hair, which is essential for the proposed method and the achieved technical result. In addition, the claims of the prototype indicate essential features that are not disclosed in the description. Thus, in the dependent claims 19,20 of the claims, the signs are indicated “during the preliminary preparation of the donor strand, a columnar shape of the donor strand blank is formed, which facilitates the process of further formation of the capsule” and “in the process of isolating the base for cutting off small hair, a separating disk is additionally used, or plates or clips. If everything is extremely clear on the first sign, then on the second sign it does not follow from the description of how the separating disk is used.

The objective of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the prototype.

The technical result of the invention consists in accelerating the time of the hair extension procedure, increasing the reliability of fixing donor strands and the quality of production.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that the method of hair extension, characterized by the selection of the patient's own hair strand, the preparation of the donor hair strand, the connection of the patient's own hair strand and the donor hair strand using an adhesive capsule, characterized in that the cut of the donor hair that has passed the initial mechanical , thermal and chemical treatment, they are placed on the card, evenly distributing them between the teeth in thickness and covered with the second card on top, while the cut of donor hair is performed protruding 1-2 cm beyond the edge of the card so that they can be hooked with fingers and pulled out, at the site of the procedure hair extensions place cards with a protruding donor hair section, a selected strand of their own hair, comb and fix it at the base with a protective disk, pull the donor strand of hair out of the cards with their fingers, align its ends with scissors, with which the donor strand of hair with aligned ends is applied to their own hair. of the patient’s venous strand of hair, using thermal forceps with a sting width of 1-2 mm, heat up the glue capsule and simultaneously encapsulate and fix the donor hair strand to the selected own hair strand by compressing the glue capsule around the donor and own hair strands, while selecting the color of the glue capsule based on the color of the patient's own hair, the steps are repeated for the rest of the patient's own hair strands, which are planned to grow, sequentially.

Implementation of the invention.

Hair extensions are a hairdressing procedure for adding extra strands to a person's natural hair to hide the natural flaws of a person's own hair, giving them additional length and volume.

The hair extension method consists of the following steps:

1. Consultation, which determines the desired goal (increasing the length of all hair, creating a complex hairstyle, selectively adding colored strands, etc.), the type of hair extensions, making sure that the length and quality of the client's own hair is suitable for extensions.

2. Hair preparation. Hair must be clean, free from styling products, grease. If you want to change the color of the base hair, perm or straighten - these procedures are also performed at this stage.

3. Preparation of donor strands. The initial mechanical, thermal and chemical treatment, as well as the division into strands, takes place at the factory, the hair comes to the salon in a prepared form in the form of a cut (see Photo 1). The preparation of donor strands before the procedure consists in laying the donor strands on the card (see Photo 2), evenly distributing them across the board between the teeth in thickness, while the sections of the cut of the donor hair are performed protruding 1-2 cm beyond one of the edges of the card with the possibility of hooking them with your fingers and pulling to build. To securely hold the donor hair on the card, they are covered with a second card from above (see Photo 3, 4). When laying a cut that protrudes beyond one of the edges of the card less than 1 cm, it will be difficult not to select the thickness and pull the strand with your fingers, and the ends of the cut, with their protruding length of more than 2 cm, will overlap and get confused, which will require additional combing.

4. Building. On the patient's head, using a comb or a pointed stick, a strand of own hair of the required thickness is isolated, the selected strand is combed and fixed at its base on the head using a protective disk (see Photo 5.6), which is a disk made of polymer material, with radial notch tapering towards the center of the disk. Next, the donor strand from the card is pulled out, depending on the thickness of the person’s own strand, the ends are aligned with scissors, with which the donor strand will be applied to one’s own strand, the donor strand is applied with aligned tips to the patient’s own strand, using thermal forceps with a sting width of 1- 2 mm heat up the glue capsule and squeeze it around and inside the donor and the patient's own strands (see Photo 7-9), while the color of the glue capsule is selected based on the color of the patient's own hair. The steps are repeated for the rest of your own strands in sequence. The width of the tip of 1-2 mm is due to the size of the adhesive capsule with the possibility of limiting its size, sufficient for reliable fixation of the donor strand to one's own strand and ensuring the quality of production. With an increase in the width of the sting above 2 mm, the width of the adhesive capsule after compression is obtained by replacing it on the patient's head, and with a decrease of less than 1 mm, the reliability of fixation decreases.

5. Final processing. At this stage, the result is controlled, haircut and styling are performed.

A new distinguishing feature from the classical method of hair extensions using glue capsules is that the described method does not require preliminary preparation of donor strands, which consists in encapsulating them before extension, and encapsulation is carried out directly on the person’s own strands using a protective disc that protects the scalp and next to located hair from burns, glue, etc., preparation of donor strands is carried out by laying them and distributing them on the card with protruding ends outside the card for easy picking up with fingers, which allows you to quickly gain the required thickness of donor hair and / or their shade. The advantage of the described method is the reduction in the complexity of the hair extension procedure, the small size of the capsules due to the use of electric forceps with a tip width of 1-2 mm, the ability to control the thickness of the donor strand and / or shade depending on the person's own selected strand, while encapsulation of the donor strand is carried out simultaneously with the fixation of the mentioned strand to the person's own strand, reheating of the glue capsule and the donor strand is excluded, as a result of which both the glue capsule and the donor strand retain their physical and chemical properties.
