Patent Application
20170311667
The disclosed subject matter relates to a method and system for concealment of a balding region by using hair fibers.
Hair loss, also known as alopecia or baldness, refers to a loss of hair from the head. Baldness can refer to general hair loss or male pattern hair loss. Male-pattern hair loss is hair loss that occurs due to an underlying 10 susceptibility of hair follicles to androgenic miniaturization. It is the most common cause of hair loss and will affect up to 70% of men and 40% of women at some point in their lifetimes. As can be seen, there is a need for a balding concealment method and apparatus.
According to aspects illustrated herein, there is provided a hair concealment system and method that helps in providing better fixation to hair fibers on a balding region.
According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided a hair concealment system that comprises an elongated bottle. The elongated body further has a top and a bottom part. The top and the bottom part define an open cavity to store a plurality of hair fibers. Further, the system includes a cover portion, wherein the cover portion is present at the top part of the elongated bottle. The system further includes a cap that is configured to be placed on the cover portion of the elongated bottle. The cover portion includes a plurality of openings, that have dimensions to allow at least one hair fiber. Further the plurality of hair fibers is released when the elongated bottle is stimulated.
According to another aspect of the invention, the present application includes a hair concealment system that includes an elongated bottle that further includes a top and a bottom part both of which define a cavity within which plurality of hair fibers can be stored. The system further includes a cover portion wherein the cover portion is present at the top part of the elongated bottle. The system further includes a cap that is configured to be placed on the cover portion of the elongated bottle. The cover portion includes a plurality of openings, that have dimensions to allow at least one hair fiber. Further the plurality of hair fibers is released when the elongated bottle is stimulated. The top part of the elongated bottle is configured to be extended telescopically when rotated or pulled out due to which the surface area of touching hair fibers with the metal surface increase that removes static electricity from the hair.
According to yet another embodiment of the invention, there is provided a hair concealment method comprising pre-treating bald region of head that removes static electricity built up on the bald region and hence increases adhesive nature towards hair fiber. Further the method includes using a hair concealment device that comprises an elongated bottle that further includes a top and a bottom part both of which define a cavity within which plurality of hair fibers can be stored. The device further includes a cover portion wherein the cover portion is present at the top part of the elongated bottle. The device further includes a cap that is configured to be placed on the cover portion of the elongated bottle. The cover portion includes a plurality of openings, that have dimensions to allow at least one hair fiber. Further the plurality of hair fibers is released when the elongated bottle is stimulated. The top part of the elongated bottle is configured to be extended telescopically when rotated or pulled out due to which the surface area of touching hair fibers with the metal surface increase that removes static electricity from the hair. The method further includes providing a finishing treatment by spraying a soft fixing gel to affix the hair fibers to the bald region
Other and further aspects and features of the disclosure will be evident from reading the following detailed description of the embodiments, which are intended to illustrate, not limit, the present disclosure

The system 100 further includes a metallic strip 120 that is placed at lowest end of the bottom part 104b. the metallic strip 120 has a small protruded extension, also of metal, that protrudes to inside of the cavity 108 from lowest position (not shown in figure). The protrusion helps in being in touch with the hair fibers 114. The system 100 further includes a metallic stand 116. The metallic stand includes a metallic base plate 122. Further, the metallic stand 116 includes a couple of receiving legs 118A and 118B. the receiving legs 118A-118B are configured to hold the elongated bottle 102 in a way such that the metallic strip 120 connects with the metallic base plate 122.
When the elongated bottle 102 is placed on the metallic stand 116, the metallic strip 120 touches the metallic base plate 122. Due to this since the protrusion is in contact with the hair fibers 114, it removes static electricity of the hair fibers when user removes the elongated bottle and touches any of metallic parts like receiving legs 118A-118B or metallic base plate 122 etc. This makes hair fibers affix more firmly on to a bald region of human head.

Top part 204a is extendable outwards, that is it can be extended from its position, as displayed by
Since the top part 204A is made up of metal hence, its extension helps in increasing surface are of metal part due to which hair fibers touching the extended top portion 204A lose static electricity. The loss of static electricity is higher and more efficient.

The benefit of utilizing the hair concealment device 100 is that hair fibers 114 falling out, when the hair concealment device 100 is shaken, are without any static electricity. Hence, affixing property of hair fibers is improved because static electricity is removed from bald region 301 and even from the hair fibers 114. This step is then followed by a finishing treatment that is done by spraying of a soft gel. The spraying of the soft gel affixes the hair fibers 114 more firmly to the bald region 301.
