Field of Invention
The subject matter of this disclosure is in the field of electric heating straightener devices, and more particularly devices for ultrasonic mist treatment and straightening of hair.
Background
Existing devices for making various hair styling, such as curling irons, curlers, irons, hair irons or straighteners, and hair dryers are known. Many of these devices operate through using a combination of internal or external heat sources to heat a surface of the device in order to make styling or hair treatment possible via contact of the hair with the heated surface. Other devices, such as hair blow dryers, operate by heating air that is blown through the hair.
Heating the hair by any styling process, particularly with a hot surface contacting the hair, can easily damage the hair and result in split-ends. It is therefore necessary to develop a hair straightener that can be used to improve damaged hair.
The disclosed apparatus and related methods aim to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies mentioned above, and provide therapeutic ultrasonic mist capabilities to a hair iron or straightener device. In one embodiment, a hair straightener device may be adopted to achieve these purposes as follows.
The disclosed device is a means for hair styling and restorative or spa treatment of hair. The device operates as tongs with upper and lower shells. Suitably, the device features a heating effect between the upper and lower shells that may be used to clamp hair between the heating effects. In one embodiment, a restorative means for effectively alleviating hair damage caused by heating, is provided on the upper shell to enhance the effect of the hair straightening. In addition, the restorative or spa means may feature an automatic trigger. In one embodiment, the trigger is located proximate to where the upper and lower shells merger so that the spa or restorative means turns-on automatically whenever the upper and lower shells close and shuts down automatically. The automatic start and shut-off may reduce the difficulty of use of such equipment.
In one embodiment, the restorative or spa means or mechanisms provide moisturizer to the hair. In one instance, ultrasonic atomization of water provides high-speed movement of water molecules so that the water becomes a fine mist of water molecules. Suitably, the fine water mist instantly penetrates and replenishes hair moisture with a rapid absorption and oxidation locking effect. At the same time, the water molecules can penetrate the pores of the scalp to provide medication for disinfection and otherwise ensure hair healthy, beautiful, glossy, and full hair health. Suitably, the atomized water molecules in the restorative or spa process quickly penetrate the cortical layer, the cortex layer damaged empty fill quickly repair damaged cuticles.
The restorative or spa means or mechanisms and processes can be effective against other harms caused by hair dye to the epidermis, filling cortical layers, lock pigment particles, and enhance hair fullness, luster not dry hair after straightening, not frizzy, color degree uniform. Therefore, a user, through the use of this device, can enjoy a way of saving time and money on hair care and maintenance.
The manner in which these objectives and other desirable characteristics can be obtained is explained in the following description and attached figures in which:
In the drawings:
Below, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the device is described in further detail.
The specifics of the disclosed embodiments are further disclosed with reference to the figures. The preferred embodiment is an ultrasonic mist treatment and hair straightener, including heating means and spa or restorative mechanisms.
