Description

Hair treatment agent holding member, hair shape treatment apparatus, and hair shape treatment method

The present invention relates to a hair treatment agent holding member, a hair shape treatment apparatus, and a hair shape treatment method.

Conventionally, hair treatment agents have various uses such as hair repair, shape maintenance, deformation and hair dyeing, decolorization, coating, hair manicure and the like.

These hair treatment agents produce the effects as described above, but on the other hand, they cause chemical, thermal, or physical damage to the hair and cause it to lose moisture retention, flexibility, and smoothness. There are many things that cause harmful effects such as hairiness, stiffness, split ends, broken hair, and deterioration of gloss.

In order to prevent and repair such hair damage, substances having a conditioning effect such as silicones and other substances are widely used as additives. However, it was difficult to maintain the effect for a long time in any case, and it was not possible to sufficiently compensate for the decrease in physical properties and feel of hair caused by permanent wave and bleach treatment.

There are the following patent documents 1 to 4 for such problems.

In Patent Document 1, the hair applicator and the liquid holding body have an integral structure. Therefore, the liquid carrier cannot be attached and detached, and handling of the hair treatment agent becomes complicated. In addition, work efficiency tends to be reduced. Moreover, since it is a hair applicator, it is not suitable for hair shape treatment. In particular, it is insufficient for hair shape treatment while taking advantage of the properties of the hair treatment agent.

Patent Document 2 generally includes a sponge portion, a head portion, a pair of handle portions provided with a storage portion for hair dyeing liquid, and a coupling portion. The handle portion, the coupling portion, and the head portion are connected to each other via the sponge portion. A hair dyeing iron capable of supplying a hair dyeing solution is disclosed. However, the hair dyeing iron of Patent Document 2 is used for hair dyeing and is not suitable for hair shape treatment. In particular, it is insufficient for hair shape treatment while taking advantage of the properties of the hair treatment agent.

Patent Document 3 discloses a hair iron sack. In the hair iron sac of Patent Document 3, hair shape treatment is not performed while taking advantage of the properties of the hair treatment agent. That is, since this sac is used only to prevent heat from being applied directly to the hair, it is insufficient for performing hair shape treatment while using a hair treatment agent.

Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the hair treatment agent holding member, the hair shape treatment apparatus, and the hair treatment method of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention broadly encompasses hair-shaped treatment devices having the invention-specific matters, and is not limited to the following embodiments.

[1] Configuration of hair treatment agent holding member of the present invention:
As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1D, the hair-shaped treatment apparatus of the present invention is a holding member that is impregnated and held inside a hair treatment agent, and the holding member contains the hair treatment agent inside. It is provided with a base material 3 that can be impregnated and held, and is detachably attached to a hair shape processing means for processing the hair shape. Further, the hair treatment agent holding member 1A is formed so that the hair treatment agent can flow out.

[1-1] Hair treatment agent:
Examples of the hair treatment agent used in the present embodiment include treatment agents containing conditioning components, oily components, emulsifiers, solvents, and other additives.

Examples of conditioning components include silicon derivatives, surfactants, and the like, which have the effect of improving hair feel, combing and gloss. Silicon derivatives also have the effect of creating a thin film on the surface of the hair to create a smooth finish. Further, the surfactant has a moisturizing agent that retains moisture and an effect of preventing generation of static electricity.

Examples of oil components include fats, waxes, paraffins, waxes, higher alcohols, etc., and have the effect of replenishing the hair and scalp with flexibility.

Examples of the emulsifier include surfactants. Examples of the solvent include alcohols such as ethanol and glycols.

In addition, a viscosity agent, an ultraviolet absorber, a flame retardant, an antiseptic, an antioxidant, a pH adjuster, a fragrance, a coloring agent, and the like may be added as necessary. This is preferable because sufficient care can be taken according to the characteristics of individual hair qualities.

Preferably, the hair treatment agent is made of a substance having low fluidity at room temperature and high fluidity when heated. By doing so, degradation or oxidation of the hair treatment agent can be suppressed as much as possible until just before use, and the treatment effect of the hair treatment agent can be maximized by heating the hair treatment agent during use. Can do. Moreover, it becomes easy to apply | coat a hair treatment agent to the whole hair uniformly. Furthermore, the treatment agent that has just been liquefied by heating has high fluidity and can be effectively applied to hair. On the other hand, when it returns to normal temperature, it becomes difficult to remove from hair stably, and the effect can be maintained.

The liquid having low fluidity is a liquid having a viscosity of 50,000 to 500,000 cP at room temperature (20 ° C.) and is about 10,000 cP when heated to about 40 ° C. Is preferred.

There are many hair treatment agents that are solid at room temperature and become liquid when heated. Among them, for example, a copolymer composed of acrylic polymer and dimethylpolysiloxane, known as silicon wax, forms a film with excellent water resistance, oil resistance, oxygen permeability, and makeup sustainability. in use. By selecting the acrylic polymer to be used, the melting point can be increased from about 30 ° C. to about 50 ° C. As described above, when a hair treatment agent that is solid at room temperature and flows in a liquid state when heated is used, the hair treatment agent itself is difficult to be oxidized or deteriorated. Therefore, there is an advantage that the hair treatment agent can be stored for a long time without impairing the properties of the hair treatment agent. This is because the hair treatment agent contains volatile substances and easily oxidized substances as its components. Furthermore, even if the hair treatment agent is in a solid state at the time of use, it becomes a liquid state at the time of heating and can be applied evenly to the hair, and so-called unevenness hardly occurs. Therefore, working efficiency can be improved. Further, when the hair treatment agent is sufficiently applied, there is also an advantage that the hair is hardly damaged in the treatment process of heat treatment.

In addition to the above silicon wax, it consists of a silicone oil made of a polyoxyethylene / methylpolysiloxane copolymer having a melting point of around 45 ° C., and a paste-like crosslinked polymethylsiloxane and decamethylpentasiloxane at room temperature. Similar effects can be obtained by using a treatment agent containing silicon gel.

[1-2] Hair treatment agent holding member:
The hair treatment agent holding member of the present embodiment is a holding member obtained by impregnating and holding a hair treatment agent inside, and the holding member includes a base material that can be impregnated and held inside the hair treatment agent, and hair It is desirable that the hair treatment agent holding member be formed so as to be detachable from the hair shape treatment means for treating the shape of the hair treatment agent, and further formed so that the hair treatment agent can flow out. Conventionally, hair treatment agents are applied to the hair of the person who performs the hair treatment directly on their hands or with a brush or spatula. For this reason, it is necessary for the hair processing operator to interrupt the operation and wash his hands, or to replace a brush, a spatula, or the like with means for processing the shape of the hair, which is inconvenient and troublesome. However, according to the hair holding tool of this embodiment, the hair treatment operation can be continued while the hair treatment agent is impregnated and held in the hair holding tool. Therefore, work efficiency can be improved.

Further, the hair treatment agent holding member of the present embodiment can form the hair while applying the hair treatment agent to the hair because the hair treatment agent is formed so that the hair treatment agent can flow out. When formed in this way, for example, the heat generated by the heating means is indirectly transmitted to the hair through the holding member while the holding member impregnated or accommodated with the hair treatment agent is applied to the hair. Therefore, it does not need to be damaged compared to directly heating the hair. In addition, since the application work, the work to extract the characteristics of the hair treatment agent (work to show the treatment effect by heating) and the hair shape treatment work can be performed at the same time, the characteristics of the hair treatment agent (treatment effect by heating etc.) Easy to give with hair. Furthermore, it is also possible to heat-treat the hair treatment agent applied to the hair by a heating means or the like after applying the hair treatment agent to the hair in advance through the holding member. Therefore, the variation of the treatment work is widened, and the work can be efficiently performed according to the characteristics of the hair.

It is preferable that the hair treatment agent holding member is formed so that the hair treatment agent can flow out from the inside during heating. This is because it is possible to bring out the properties of the hair treatment agent (treatment effect by heating, etc.) at the same time while performing the treatment work without damaging the hair as much as possible. In addition, a hair treatment agent that has just been liquefied by heating is higher in fluidity than that in which a hair treatment solution is directly applied to hair at room temperature, and can be effectively applied to hair. In addition, when the hair treatment agent applied to the hair cools and returns to room temperature, it becomes difficult to be stably removed. Therefore, the effect can be maintained.

Further, it is desirable that the hair treatment agent holding member is formed to be detachable from the hair shape treatment means. The hair treatment agent holding member impregnated and held with the hair treatment agent can be supplied as a so-called cartridge type. Therefore, not only can handling be simplified, but workability can be improved. In order to realize such advantages, for example, at least a base material of the hair treatment agent holding member is formed from a porous resin, which will be described later, or a raw material such as nonwoven fabric, paper, film, cloth, rubber, or mesh. It is preferable. This is because, by forming the base material of the hair treatment agent holding member from at least the above-described material, it is possible to easily cause the hair treatment agent heated to increase its fluidity to flow out of the hair treatment agent holding member.

Here, “impregnating and holding the hair treatment agent inside” means that when the hair treatment agent is in a liquid or gel form, the holding member is immersed in the liquid or gel hair treatment agent. It means holding. Furthermore, “holding” by immersing and holding a liquid or gel-like hair treatment agent in the holding member means that the holding member contains liquid or gel unless an excessive pressure (pressing force) is applied. Means that That is, after impregnating and holding a liquid or gel on the holding member and then using it attached to the hair shape treatment means, by contact or the like when combing the hair (for example, when the hair shape treatment means is a hairbrush) Or, the hair shape treatment means is impregnated to the extent that the liquid or gel-like hair treatment agent can flow out of the holding member by contact with the hair (for example, when the hair shape treatment means is a hair shape treatment apparatus such as a hair iron). It is desirable to be retained. In other words, when excessive pressure is applied, a liquid or gel-like hair treatment agent may flow out from the holding member, but in this embodiment, the hair treatment agent holding member is attached to the hair shape treatment means. It is preferable that the liquid or gel hair treatment agent is impregnated and held in the holding member to such an extent that it can flow out when it is used (when in contact with hair).

In addition, the “holding member” is “provided with a substrate capable of impregnating and holding the hair treatment agent inside” if the holding member has a substrate capable of impregnating and holding the hair treatment agent inside. Well, it is not necessarily limited to those in which the entire holding member can impregnate and hold the hair treatment agent. In other words, when the entire holding member is configured as a base material that can be impregnated and held with a hair treatment agent, or a part of the holding member is provided with a base material, and that part of the base material is impregnated with the hair treatment agent. The case where the holding member is configured to be held is also included in the holding member in this embodiment.

For example, as an example in which the entire holding member is made of a base material that can be impregnated and held in the hair treatment agent, a holding member 1C having a cylindrical shape shown in FIG. 1C and a holding member 1D having a sheet shape shown in FIG. 1D are used. Can be mentioned. In addition, as an example in which a part of the holding member is made of a base material that can impregnate and hold the hair treatment agent inside, as shown in FIG. 1A, both ends are provided with annular attachment portions, and the base material is in a belt shape. The holding member 1A can be mentioned. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 1B, the holding member 1B includes a mounting portion 2a that is annular at both ends and is connected to both ends by a belt, and includes a holding portion 2b that has a stick shape as a base material. it can. However, it is not limited to these examples. Further, the holding member may be formed in a sucker shape (not shown) and configured to be detachable from the hair shape processing means 4 shown in FIG. 4A.

In addition, “formed to be detachable from the hair shape processing means for treating the hair shape” means that the hair treatment agent holding member is formed to be removable from the hair shape processing means. For example, as shown in FIG. 1A, an annular attachment portion may be provided on the hair treatment agent holding member, and the hair treatment agent holding member may be formed detachably (attachable / detachable) to the hair shape treatment means. Further, as shown in FIG. 1C, the hair treatment agent holding member may be detachably attached to the hair shape treatment means by forming the entire hair treatment agent holding member including the base material into a bag shape. . Moreover, if it is a sheet-like hair treatment agent holding member as shown in FIG. 1D, it holds the brush part of the hair brush (a region having a large number of rod-like members (pin-like members) for combing hair). It can be used by piercing the member. By forming the hair treatment agent holding member in this way, the hair treatment agent holding member can be easily attached to the hair shape treatment means. In addition, since existing hair shape treatment means can be used, versatility can be improved. In the case of a hair treatment agent holding member having a sheet shape, the hair treatment agent holding member is provided with a brush part of a hair brush (for example, a pin, a brush hair, etc., see reference numeral 6a in FIG. 2A, reference numeral 6b in FIG. 3A). In order to facilitate attachment such as piercing, it is preferable that the hair treatment agent holding member is formed of a material such as a mesh. Furthermore, in the case of the above-described configuration, it is more preferable that the hair treatment agent holding member has innumerable slits because it is easy to attach and detach.

Further, as a preferable state of “impregnating and holding the hair treatment agent inside”, the hair treatment agent holding member is contained and held so that it can flow out of the hair treatment agent holding member when heated. It is to let you. For example, the liquid, gel, or solid hair treatment agent is in a state of low fluidity before being heated, and it is difficult or difficult to flow out of the hair treatment agent holding member. However, during heating (after heating), it is possible to flow out of the hair treatment agent holding member, so that the hair treatment agent can be handled easily. It is also possible to prevent the effectiveness of the hair treatment agent from being reduced due to oxidation or deterioration. Furthermore, when the hair treatment agent is heated at the time of use and the fluidity of the hair treatment agent is increased, if the hair treatment agent can flow out from the inside of the hair treatment agent holding member, the hair shape treatment becomes easy. In addition, the properties of the hair treatment agent (such as treatment effects) can be easily imparted to the hair.

That is, "the hair treatment agent is formed so that the hair treatment agent can flow out from the inside during heating" means that the hair treatment agent impregnated or held in the hair treatment agent holding member is melted or fluidized by heating, It means that it can flow out of the holding member. When the hair treatment agent melts or increases its fluidity by heating, it becomes easier to apply to the hair. As a result, the liquefied (melted or fluidized) hair treatment agent can condition the hair surface, penetrate into the hair, and give a treatment effect. And even if it stops heating and returns to normal temperature after a hair treatment agent liquefies, it will become difficult to take off the hair treatment agent adhering to hair, and even if it repeats hair washing several times, it does not flow down. Therefore, the effect of the hair shape treatment can be maintained. On the other hand, a hair treatment agent such as a conventional treatment agent (hereinafter referred to as “conventional hair treatment agent” where appropriate) that does not melt or flow even when heated is used for hair shape treatment. In such cases, it is necessary to take measures such as leaving the treatment agent on the hair at room temperature and leaving it for about 3 to 5 minutes. That is, when a conventional hair treatment agent is used, it is necessary to leave it for a desired period of time in order for the treatment ingredients that care from the inside of the hair to penetrate well into the hair. In some cases, it was necessary to increase the temperature of the hair by using a steaming towel or the like, and the work of hair shape treatment was complicated. However, in this embodiment, it is not necessary to leave for a desired time, and complicated work is not necessary.

In particular, when the hair treatment agent is a gel or solid at room temperature and becomes liquid upon heating, the hair treatment agent can flow out from the inside of the hair treatment agent holding member during heating. It is preferable that the hair treatment agent holding member is formed.

In addition, it is also a preferred form that the base material of the hair treatment agent holding member is made of a porous resin. When the base material of the hair treatment agent holding member is made of a porous resin, the hair treatment agent can be easily impregnated. Furthermore, when the hair treatment agent impregnated in the porous resin is heated, the hair treatment agent is melted or fluidized, so that the hair treatment agent easily oozes out from countless pores made of the porous resin. As a result, it is preferable because the hair treatment agent can be easily applied to the hair.

Here, examples of the material of the porous resin as the substrate include ethylene tetrafluoride, urethane, and silicon. Moreover, it is preferable that an attachment part (for example, a belt-like attachment part) is provided in the above-mentioned porous resin as required so that it can be attached to and detached from the hair shape processing means. Moreover, it is also preferable to form the whole hair treatment agent holding member including the porous resin base material into a bag shape. By forming in this way, the hair treatment agent holding member is preferable because it can be easily attached to and detached from the hair shape treatment means.

Also, it is one of preferred embodiments that the base material of the hair treatment agent holding member is made of at least a nonwoven fabric, paper, film, cloth, or rubber. When the base material of the hair treatment agent holding member is formed from the desired material as described above, it is easy to impregnate and hold the hair treatment agent. Furthermore, it is preferable because it can be easily attached to and detached from the hair means, and furthermore, it is easy to apply the hair treatment agent to the hair through a substrate made of these materials.

In addition, if the part of the hair treatment agent holding member that contacts the hair is made of an elastic material such as rubber, the contact pressure between the hair treatment agent holding member and the hair can be reduced. As a result, the hair is not damaged and can maintain a soft circular cross section. Furthermore, it is preferable that the contact surface of the hair treatment agent holding member that comes into contact with the hair is formed in a gentle wave shape because not only the contact pressure with the hair is lowered but also the hair shape is easily rounded. Further, it is preferable that the hair treatment agent holding member is subjected to gentle wave-like surface treatment because the hair is not damaged and can maintain a soft circular cross section.

Further, it is also one of preferable modes that the base material of the hair treatment agent holding member is formed in a mesh shape or one or more holes are formed. When the base material of the hair treatment agent holding member is formed in a mesh shape (mesh shape), the hair treatment agent is easily impregnated. In addition, the hair treatment agent impregnated into the base material formed in a mesh shape (mesh shape) is melted or fluidized by heating, so that the hair treatment agent can easily ooze out from the mesh (mesh shape). It becomes easy to apply to. In addition, even when one or more holes are formed in the base material of the hair treatment agent holding member, the hair treatment agent impregnated in the base material is melted or heated by heating, It tends to ooze out from one or more holes. For example, as shown in FIG. 1D, a hair treatment agent holding member formed in a mesh shape and attached to the hair shape treatment means as shown in FIG. 2A can be used.

[2] Hair shape treatment means:
The hair shape processing means of the present invention is a means for processing the shape of the hair, and is formed so as to be detachable from the hair treatment agent holding member described so far. Here, the hair shape treatment means includes those for treating the shape by combing the hair, and those for treating the shape of the hair by heating the hair or applying vibration. As the former, for example, a hair brush or the like can be exemplified, and as the latter, a hair shape processing apparatus including a heating means capable of heating hair such as a hair iron or the like can be exemplified. However, the hair shape processing means is not limited to these.

In the case where the heating means for heating the hair is not provided as in the former hairbrush, after the hair treatment agent holding member is attached to the hair shape treatment means, for example, a heating means such as a dryer is provided. By using it in combination, the effects of the present invention can be achieved.

[2-1] Hair brush:
It is also a preferred embodiment that the hair shape processing means is a hair brush configured as a brush. For example, when the hair shape treatment means is configured as a hair brush, when the hair treatment agent holding member is made of a nonwoven fabric, paper, film, cloth, or the like as described above, or when it is made of a mesh shape, On the other hand, the hair treatment agent is applied as follows, and the hair shape treatment is performed. That is, the hair treatment agent holding member impregnated with the hair treatment agent is attached to a hair brush which is a hair shape treatment means. Then, the hair treatment agent is applied while combing the hair with a hairbrush, and at the same time as the hair treatment agent is applied, the hair shape treatment is performed by blowing hot air using a heating means such as a hair iron. Alternatively, the hair treatment agent holding member impregnated with the hair treatment agent is attached to a hair brush as a hair shape treatment means, and the hair treatment agent is applied to the hair in advance while combing the hair with the hair brush. Thereafter, the hair shape treatment may be performed by blowing hot air using a heating means such as a hair iron. When the hair treatment agent is applied to the hair in advance, as in the latter case, and the hair treatment agent increases in fluidity by heating, the hair treatment agent holding member is warmed in advance. After applying to the hair, the hair shape treatment may be performed by hot air from a heating means. Thus, when the hair shape processing means in this embodiment is comprised as a hair brush, the hair brush used in order to apply | coat a hair processing agent can be used for hair shape processing as it is. For this reason, it is not necessary to interrupt operations such as washing away the hair treatment agent on the hands, and the work efficiency can be improved. In addition, the hair treatment agent can be applied evenly to the hair and can be easily applied to the hair while drawing out the properties of the hair treatment agent.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, an example in which the hair shape processing means is a hair brush and a hair holding member is coated can be mentioned. 2A and 2B show a hair treatment agent holding member 1D having a sheet shape and a hair shape treatment means comprising a hair brush 6A. Thus, if it is hair treatment agent holding member 1D which consists of a sheet form, it can attach easily so that it may protrude to each pin 6a with which hair brush 6A is provided. Moreover, after a hair shape process, it is easy to remove a hair treatment agent holding member from a hairbrush.
