Definitions

  • Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods for a heat conductive styling brush.
  • Hair styling is often accomplished using a brush and hair dryer.
  • the technique may vary according to hair type and style desired.
  • the hair dryer will generally have variable heat and speed settings to aid in styling hair with a brush and hair dryer.
  • the brush will have a metal barrel which is heated by the hair dryer and allows one to style your hair more easily.
  • the subject's wet hair is wrapped in a towel and excess water is squeezed out.
  • Any hair products such as styling gel, conditioner etc. may be added at this point.
  • Some will use a leave-in conditioner that will protect hair from the high heat of the dryer. Starting at the back of the head and dry hair in sections, one pulls the brush through the hair gently from root to ends for a straight, sleek look.
  • Heat styling tools are often used with a frequency of once or twice a week. Generally users will comb/brush the hair before using heat products, since when hair is smooth it's quicker and easier to style and takes less heat. Hair protection products are often used to protect hair from the effects of heat treatment.
  • hair can be damaged by chemical exposure, prolonged or repeated heat exposure (as through the use of heat styling tools), and by excessive perming and straightening.
  • Hair straightening is a hair styling technique which involves the flattening and straightening of hair in order to give it a smooth, streamlined and less curly or kinky appearance. It may be accomplished by using hair irons and hot combs, chemical relaxers, or regional methods known for instance as Japanese or Brazilian hair straightening. Some shampoos, conditioners and gels can help to make hair temporarily straight. Hair irons and hot combs temporarily modify hair texture, whereas relaxers and the other methods permanently alter the structure of the hair, although new hair growth is not affected. The drug interferon alpha has been reported as being shown to modify hair follicles causing permanent change in a person's hair texture.
  • the hair iron or hair tong is a tool used to temporarily change the structure of the hair using heat, the various types including curling iron (used to make the hair curly), straightening irons (commonly called straighteners or flat irons, used to straighten the hair), and crimping irons (used to create crimps of the desired size in the hair).
  • curling iron used to make the hair curly
  • straightening irons commonly called straighteners or flat irons, used to straighten the hair
  • crimping irons used to create crimps of the desired size in the hair.
  • Most models have electric heating while cordless irons typically use a flammable gas such as butane for heat. Alternatively these may also use infrared technology.
  • Curling irons also known as curling tongs, create waves or curls in the hair.
  • the barrel's diameter can be anywhere from .5 inches (1.3 cm) to 2 inches (5.1 cm).
  • Smaller barrels typically create spiral curls or ringlets, and larger barrels are used to give shape and volume to a hairstyle.
  • These irons are typically made of Teflon, ceramic, tourmaline, metal, or titanium, each of which has its pros and cons.
  • the barrel's shape can either be a cylinder, cone, or reverse cone, and the iron can have brush attachments or double and triple barrels.
  • the curling iron can also have either a spring-loaded, Marcel, or clipless handle.
  • Spring-loaded handles are the most popular and use a spring to work the barrel's clamp.
  • Clipless wands have no clamp; the user simply wraps hair around a rod.
  • Most clipless curling irons come with a heat resistant glove to avoid burns.
  • Straightening irons operate by breaking down hair's hydrogen bonds. These are bonds in the hair's cortex, which cause hair to bend and become curly. Once the bonds are broken, hair is prevented from holding its original, natural form, though the hydrogen bonds can re-form if exposed to moisture.
  • Crimping irons or 'crimpers' work by crimping hair in a traingular or sawtooth manner. The look is similar to the crimps left after taking out small braids. Crimping irons come in different sizes with different sized ridges on the paddles. Larger ridges produce larger crimps in the hair and smaller ridges produce smaller crimps.
  • Hair texture might be either hyper-sensitive or more resistant to the effects of extreme heat. However it seems that with the too frequent application of this hair styling technique the immunity of the strands against damage from external factors decreases; ideally one protects hair from deterioration by reduction of the damaging factors such as heat, chemical treatment, mechanical abuse, etc. [0016] The temperature of the iron used will ideally be varied to match the hair texture. The first step in this process is to identify hair type, generally by visual inspection.
  • shape also has a crucial role when straightening or curling hair with an iron. Besides the temperature and iron texture (often ceramic or tourmaline), a variety of shapes and widenesses are available. Generally one chooses a wider flat iron than the common 3-5cm iron for long hair (beyond the shoulders). Shorter hair may employ standard-sized irons. These are important factors since the application of the inappropriate hair straightener might cause breakage.
  • An aspect of the present invention provides a heating hair brush comprising: a handle;
  • a heat conductive material disposed upon said head; whereby heat is imparted from said heat conductive material to hair while said hair is being brushed, allowing for heat-treatment of hair during brushing.
  • said base station comprises energy transfer means selected from the group consisting of: electrical energy transfer; thermal energy transfer; chemical energy transfer.
  • said heat treatment comprises straightening of hair.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a reaction rate as a function of temperature
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a brush
  • FIG. 3 illustrates one embodiment of the current invention
  • FIG. 4 illustrates another embodiment of the current invention
  • FIGS. 5ab illustrate the retractable bristles of the current invention in one embodiment.
  • the invention comprises a brush having heat-conductive elements dispersed thereupon allowing for continuous application of heat at lower temperatures. This will tend to cause less damage than the alternative application of heat for shorter durations at higher temperatures due to the temperature dependence of protein denaturing which generally will have an activation energy proportional to an exponential function of the thermal energy involved, generally an Arrhenius relation:
  • Fig. 2 shows a brush suitable for use with the invention. It has bristles 301 which may be of natural hair or synthetic material located on the head 304, and a handle 302.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates the modified brush of the invention in one possible embodiment.
  • Some of the bristles are eliminated in favor of heat conducting strips 303 located on the head 304.
  • This strip is in some embodiments heated from within for instance by means of an electrical circuit, stored heat, chemical reaction or other means, while in other embodiments the strip are heated externally for instance by means of a heated holder, heat gun or the like.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates another embodiment of the invention wherein only one section of the brush has the heat conductive element 303 of the invention, with the other side having full bristle population.
  • the heat source powering the brush may be for instance a set of batteries in the brush handle or elsewhere, which may themselves be rechargeable. In this case a stand for the brush with recharging means will of course be found felicitous.
  • the brush may comprise material of high heat capacity such as metal, salt, ammonia, water, magnesium, and the like.
  • This material may also comprise a phase-change material for heat storage in the form of latent heat.
  • the brush material would be heated prior to use for instance in a water bath, and the high heat capacity material in the brush would transfer its heat to the hair for a period of time limited only by the heat capacity, external temperature and thermal resistance between the brush and environment.
  • the brush internal heat storage may be heated using an outside heat source (such as electrical heating apparatus) prior to the use.
  • the brush may comprise materials suitable for generation of heat by means of exothermic chemical reaction.
  • materials suitable for generation of heat by means of exothermic chemical reaction.
  • combinations of two components such as water and calcium chloride, or oxygen and thermite, or other pairs forming exothermic reactions may be stored separately, and then introduced into the brush, mixed, and used to generate heat for period of time while the brush is being used to brush and heat hair simultaneously.
  • Figs. 5a, b illustrate another provision of the invention.
  • the bristles 301 are made retractable, such that in Fig. 5a the bristles are extended while in 6b the bristles have been retracted.
  • the retraction of the bristles maybe accomplished for instance by means of rotating the handle or a knob, using mechanisms that will be clear to one skilled in the art.
