Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A. Technical Field

The present invention relates generally to a hair care apparatus. More particularly, the invention relates to an apparatus for cooling and dehumidifying the hair of a user.

B. Description of Related Art

Hair care, in general, refers to practices and treatments that maintain overall health and hygiene of the hair from the scalp of an individual. Well-maintained hair is integral to the general hygiene and confidence of the individual in a social setting. Salons and hair wellness centers work to provide healthy and aesthetically pleasing hairstyles. Typically, stylists use chemical hair straightening products such as a relaxer to straighten curly hair. The usage of chemical products is harmful to users if it contacts the skin. An apparatus, which allows a user to preserve the user hairstyle without the application of chemical products, is required. Additionally, their use results in the formation of brittle and easily damaged hair. Over the years, there has been a trend in the hair care industry, especially among the African American community, of moving away from chemical hair straightening products and embracing natural hair. Consequently, the trend has led to a decline in the sale of chemical products. Both women and men sporting long hair prefer natural hair because it allows them the versatility of having curly hair one day and having their hair straightened the next using a curling iron, flat iron, hot comb, or blow dryer. However, women who wish to keep their hair straightened for extended periods find it challenging to do so because of hot and humid conditions, steam from baths or showers, activities that require them to sweat, etc. Unlike Caucasian women, African American and biracial women do not wash their hair every day because their hair does not become oily in the same fashion as Caucasian women. As a result, it is highly desirable for an African-American woman who has straightened hair, to prevent their hair from getting wet until the time comes for them to wash it.

Currently, existing solutions do not allow women to keep their stylized hair free from moisture while showering, exercising, or participating in any other activity. This translates to a lack of exercise, cool showers with a shower cap, comfortless nights, and/or no vigorous activities. Women with straightened hair have to visit a salon to professionally straighten their hair or take time to do it themselves periodically, which costs both money and effort. After having hair straightened without using chemicals, women must take many precautions to preserve straightened hair. Keeping natural hair straight involves staying out of humid environments and avoiding any activity that causes head sweat. This often keeps women from exercising, enjoying long hot showers/baths or even engaging in vigorous passionate sexual experiences. The only other options available to women include, for example, wearing a wig, wearing short hair dues, wearing sports caps, or wearing bands that draw moisture from the scalp but by that time hair roots are already compromised. Women would be glad to embrace an alternative that gives them the freedom to keep their hair the way they want it and still do what they want to do. An apparatus, which absorbs moisture or perspiration from the hair to preserve the opted hairstyle of an individual without affecting his/her lifestyle, is required. Such an apparatus provides the individual with the freedom to engage in vigorous activities without affecting their hairstyle.

Hence, there is a need for an apparatus, which allows a user to preserve hairstyle without the application of chemical products. Furthermore, there is a need for an apparatus, which absorbs moisture or perspiration from the hair to preserve the opted hairstyle of an individual without affecting the user's lifestyle.
