Definitions

  • the invention concerns a method for the steam treatment of scalp.
  • steam treatment of scalp hair is usually carried out with the aid of a device (steam apparatus) during hair color applications in hair dressing salons.
  • a device steam apparatus
  • Suchlike devices are known in different embodiments from, for example, WO2005/001337A1 (FIG. 7).
  • steam is blown through a spray into a steam hood in which is positioned the head of a person (hairdresser's client) to whose scalp hair a hair color has been applied.
  • Ammonia is released through the chemical process and the heat action of the steam. Since new steam is constantly generated, the ammonia is carried out of the steam hood with the steam and right up to the eyes and nose of the person and can cause irritation there. In addition an odor nuisance can occur as a result.
  • the task of the invention is to prevent by simple means this irritation and/or odor nuisance during a corresponding steam treatment of scalp hair.
  • the present invention relates to a method for the steam treatment of scalp hair, which was treated previously with an agent that contains ammonia.
  • the treatment is carried out with a device with a steam hood such that at the start of the steam treatment ambient air in the neighborhood of a forehead region or an eye/nose region of the person is extracted automatically by a controllable extraction unit.
  • This extraction unit is deactivated automatically after a preset time.
  • the ammonia emission within the steam hood is recorded continuously and measured as ammonia emission values and compared with a preset ammonia emission value, such that the extraction unit is deactivated automatically on reaching the preset ammonia emission value.
  • a device for carrying out the above methods comprising a steam hood for the treatment of scalp hair of a person, the device comprising a controllable extraction unit, which extracts ambient air in the neighborhood of the forehead region or an eye/nose region of the person, and a control unit to activate the steam treatment with the extraction unit and deactivate the steam treatment at the end of a preset time.
  • FIG. 1 a first method as a flow diagram
  • FIG. 2 a second method as a flow diagram
  • FIG. 3 a side view of a device of the prior art
  • FIG. 4 a side view of a first device with a time switch
  • FIG. 5 a side view of a second device with automatic switch-off mechanism
  • FIG. 6 a sectional view of a detailed aspect of the second device according to FIG. 5 ;
  • FIG. 7 a block diagram of the device according to FIG. 5 ;
  • FIG. 8 a plan view of the device according to FIG. 5 .
  • FIG. 9 a perspective view of the device according to, respectively, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 with steam hood removed.
  • the principle solution of the set task is to extract the steam 11 enriched with ammonia C at the front region 12 of the steam hood 4 .
  • This is preferably carried out by means of an electrically driven fan 10 .
  • This fan 10 is preferably attached directly at the front region 12 of the steam hood 4 .
  • a suction port 13 of the fan 10 is so designed in such a way that the extraction of the steam 11 takes place mainly in the region above the eyes 14 . Since ammonia emission C is reduced to such an extent during the course of the steam treatment that no irritation or odor nuisance can occur, from this time point on the fan 10 is either switched off at a preset time t a or is deactivated at a preset ammonia emission value V 1 .
  • the fan 10 can also be seated within the device 3 . 2 in order, for example, to support the output of the steam 11 .
  • the suction port 13 is passed through the steam hood 4 into the neighborhood of the eyes 14 .
  • the amount of air D that is to be extracted is controlled by the use of the electric fan 10 .
  • This control can take place during a (preset) time t a , or through an ammonia sensor 7 located in the extracted air 16 with which the concentration of the ammonia emission C is measured and the fan 10 correspondingly regulated.
  • the correct amount of air 16 can always be extracted with a controlled fan 10 in order to avoid irritation of the eyes 14 .
  • only the amount of air 16 that is absolutely necessary is extracted. In this way a uniform dampness of the scalp hair 1 is attained and a very consistent color reaction on the scalp hair 1 is achieved.
  • FIG. 1 shows a flow diagram of a first method for the steam treatment of scalp hair 1 of a person 2 with a device 3 . 1 with a steam hood 4 , wherein the scalp hair 1 was previously treated with a (hair coloring) agent that contains ammonia C.
  • a controllable extraction unit 5 on the steam hood 4 is activated by a control unit 6 , by which means highly odorous ammonia gasses (ammonia emission C) from the steam hood 4 cannot spread into a face region F (especially in the region of the eyes and nose B) of a person 2 .
  • the extraction unit 5 is deactivated.
  • the device 3 . 1 ( FIG. 4 ) is switched off automatically.
  • FIG. 2 shows a flow diagram of a second method for the steam treatment of scalp hair 1 of a person 2 with a device 3 . 2 with a steam hood 4 , wherein the scalp hair 1 is first treated with an agent that contains ammonia.
  • a controllable extraction unit 5 on the steam hood 4 is activated by a control unit 6 , wherein during the further course of the steam treatment ammonia emissions C are recorded by a sensor 7 that is attached inside the steam hood 4 and measured by a measurement unit 8 (V x1 . . . V x5 ).
  • FIG. 3 shows a side view of a device 3 of the prior art. It is clear from this that the ammonia emissions C from the treated scalp hair 1 reach the eye/nose region B of the person 2 and can lead to irritation and an odor nuisance.
  • FIG. 4 shows schematically a side view of a first device 3 . 1 with a steam hood 4 for the steam treatment of scalp hair 1 of a person 2 , wherein the scalp hair 1 was previously treated with an agent that contains ammonia.
  • the device 3 . 1 has a controllable extraction unit 5 with a suction port 13 that extracts the ambient air in the neighborhood of an (upper) forehead region A or an eye/nose region B of the person 2 .
  • the extraction unit 5 is activated by a control unit 6 and is deactivated after a prescribed time t a has elapsed.
  • a time switch 9 is attached as control unit 6 .
  • the extraction unit 5 is preferably an electric fan 10 , which is preferably attached in the front region 12 of the steam hood 4 . In this way the flow of ammonia gasses into the eye/nose region B (eyes 14 , nose 15 ) is practically prevented. It is possible to plan to control an amount of air D of the extracted air 16 through the fan 10 .
  • FIG. 5 shows a side view of a second device 3 . 2 with an automatic switch-off mechanism and a steam hood 4 for the steam treatment of scalp hair 1 of a person 2 .
  • a sensor 7 to record the ammonia emission values V x1 . . . V xn is arranged inside the steam hood 4 .
  • the ammonia sensor 7 is connected with a measurement unit 8 for measurement of the ammonia emission values V x1 . . . V xn , wherein the measurement unit 8 is connected with a control unit 6 .
  • the device 3 .
  • the steam hood 4 has an extraction unit 5 that is controllable by the control unit 6 and extracts the ambient air in the neighborhood of an (upper) forehead region A or an eye/nose region B of the person 2 .
  • the extraction unit 5 is activated automatically by the control unit 6 .
  • the extraction unit 5 is deactivated automatically.
  • an electric fan 10 that can be arranged neatly in or on the steam hood 4 , is simple to operate (in on/off function and fan performance), and is very cost-effective is used as extraction unit 5 .
  • the extraction unit 5 is arranged inside or outside the steam hood 4 in such a way that extraction of the ambient air in the neighborhood of the forehead region A or the eye/nose region B of the person 2 takes place, wherein the electric fan 10 is arranged in the extraction unit 5 .
  • An optoelectronic ammonia sensor in chip form for example, can be used as sensor 7 .
  • FIG. 6 shows a detailed aspect of the second device 3 . 2 according to FIG. 5 as a sectional view.
  • FIG. 7 shows a block diagram of the device 3 . 2 . in accordance with, respectively, FIG. 5 or FIG. 2 .
