Abstract

The utility model relates to the field of hairdressing and can be used as an auxiliary tool when dyeing hair, namely as a tool intended for separating strands, separating layers of hair within strands and fixing the selected strand of hair for subsequent processing. The technical result achieved when using the claimed tool consists in reducing the number of auxiliary tools used during dyeing, i.e. reducing the number of operations performed during dyeing by providing the ability to separate strands and separate layers of hair within strands, i.e. creating a comb-over and fixing the separated hair with the same tool. The hairdressing tool includes a first working part with a handle and teeth, as well as a second working part with teeth, movably connected to the first working part with the ability to move relative to the first working part. For this purpose, on the first working part, parallel to the teeth on the side opposite to them, guides are made in which the fastening elements of the second working part are movably placed so that the working parts of the tool are located parallel to each other.

Description

The utility model relates to the field of hairdressing and can be used as an auxiliary tool when dyeing hair, namely as a tool designed to separate strands, separate layers of hair within strands and fix the selected strand of hair for subsequent processing.

Every year, hair coloring techniques are becoming more and more sophisticated so that the hair looks as natural as possible after coloring. In particular, this effect is achieved by smoothly transitioning from dark roots to light ends, creating a natural, smooth, veil coloring with a transition from dark to light hair to create the impression that the strands have been slightly sunburned. To do this, at the initial stage, the hairdresser makes a root combing to protect the root zone from bleaching, and only then applies a lightening composition to the layer of hair that is not covered by the combing. At the same time, a common problem when creating a combing during the coloring process is the need to fix the combing so that it does not slip, which necessitates the creation of new tools used in hair coloring.

Nowadays, hairstylists use a variety of tools during coloring, which they either hold in their free hand, attach to clothing, or keep on a nearby table. These tools include combs and hair clips.

In particular, to fix the resulting backcombing, use the same selection comb that was used to select the strands and separate the layers of hair within the strands, that is, to create a backcombing (see, for example, the video “Correct BACKCOATING in Shatush and Balayage Hair Coloring Techniques,” published on July 14, 2022 on the Internet at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv3z6eiu6bM, minutes 4:04-4:10). However, this method of fixation is unreliable, the comb has to be regularly adjusted or additional participants in the coloring process have to be involved to hold the tool.

Hairdressing clips are also used to fix the combing, for example, a clip for increasing short-term root volume of hair, consisting of two plates (RU 187441 U1, published 06.03.2019). The disadvantage of this solution is the use of a spring to create a clamping force, which creates additional pressure on the combed hair and leads to its damage, as well as the need to use several tools, namely, a separate comb and a separate clip to fix the combing, which complicates the coloring process, since the master constantly has to change tools and intercept strands.

Accordingly, the limited functionality of combs and hair clips forces hairdressers to use more than one tool to achieve the best results. Therefore, there is a need for an auxiliary hair coloring tool that combines the basic functions of a comb and a hair clip.

The problem solved by the proposed utility model is to create a tool that can be used to both select strands and separate layers of hair within strands, i.e. create a bouffant, and fix the separated hair.

The technical result achieved by using the claimed tool consists in reducing the number of auxiliary tools used during coloring, i.e. reducing the number of operations performed during coloring by providing the ability to separate strands and separate layers of hair within strands, i.e. creating a comb-over, as well as fixing the separated hair with the same tool.

The problem is solved, and the technical result is achieved by the fact that the hairdressing tool includes a first working part with a handle and teeth, as well as a second working part with teeth, movably connected to the first working part with the ability to move relative to the first working part. For this purpose, on the first working part, parallel to the teeth on the opposite side, guides are made, in which the fastening elements of the second working part are placed with the ability to move, so that the working parts of the tool are located parallel to each other.

Fig. 6 shows the tool used to fix the pile.

The proposed utility model consists of a first working part 1, including a handle 2 and teeth 3. In a preferred embodiment, the handle 2 is made in the form of a metal rod for separating strands. On the first working part 1, parallel to the teeth 3, on the side opposite to them, guides 4 are made, preferably in the form of horseshoe-shaped or U-shaped elements. The tool also includes a second working part 5, containing teeth 6. On the second working part 5, perpendicular to the teeth 6, fastening elements 7 are arranged, the end opposite to the working part 5, placed with the possibility of movement in the guides 4 of the working part 1. The fastening elements 7 can be made in the form of rivets, screws or other similar elements. Such a configuration ensures the arrangement of the working parts 1 and 5 in parallel planes. When moving the fastening elements 7 in the guides 4 in the direction from the working part 1, the working part 5 moves to the position most distant from the working part 1, thus, the tool is extended. When the fastening elements 7 are moved in the guides 4 in the direction of the working part 1, the working part 5 moves to the position closest to the working part 1, thus the tool shifts. In this case, a gap (space) 8 is formed between the working parts 1 and 5, ensuring the fixation of the pile. The tool operates as follows.

The master (hairdresser, stylist) selects the necessary strand of hair from the total volume using handle 2. After that, using the tool in the extended state, i.e. with the working part 5 as far away as possible from the working part 1, he separates the layers of hair inside the selected strand by repeatedly moving the tool along the selected strand towards the roots, i.e. creating a root combing. Such combing is used to protect the root zone from bleaching. Then he fixes the resulting combing by moving the working part 5 as far as possible by moving the fastening elements 7 along the guides 4 towards the working part 1, i.e., shifting the working part 5 towards the working part 1. Thus, a gap is formed between the working parts 1 and 5, inside which the resulting combing is located, due to which it is securely fixed, since the working parts 1 and 5 of the tool embrace the resulting combing from both sides (Fig. 4), and also due to the fact that the tool is pressed tightly to the roots of the head. It is recommended to position the tool so that the working part 5 is behind the backcombing, closer to the hair roots. After fixing the backcombing, the master applies the lightening composition only to the layer of hair that is not in the backcombing. After that, he or she dyes the entire volume of hair in the required tone. This dyeing technique provides the effect of burnt-out hair after mixing the bleached and unbleached strands.

The use of the proposed tool allows to reduce the number of operations performed during coloring, since all manipulations on selecting strands, dividing hair within strands and fixing the divided hair are performed with the same tool without changing hands and intercepting strands, due to the fact that the resulting pile is fixed immediately after its creation by the tool in the same position in which it was created, by moving the working part 5 in the direction of the working part 1.

In this case, after fixing the backcombing, the master’s hands are free to perform further manipulations with the separated hair, and the tool does not need to be regularly adjusted or an assistant needed to hold the tool, since the location of the backcombing between two working surfaces ensures its secure fixation.

The given example is a special case and does not exhaust all possible implementations of the utility model.
