Abstract
A method of hair dying is provides that includes applying a polymer based hair dye to hair and emitting light on the applied polymer based hair dye for a duration to cure the polymer based hair dye on the hair. In certain aspects a device is provided that emits polymer curative energy for curing an applied polymer based hair dye that includes a housing, at least polymer curative light source disposed in the housing, and a controller operatively connected to the heat source and the at least one polymer curative light source. In certain embodiments a heat source is disposed in the housing that includes a polymer curative light source.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- applying a polymer based hair dye to hair;
- and
- emitting, from a hair device, a polymer curative ultraviolet light onto the applied polymer based hair dye for a duration sufficient to cure the polymer based hair dye and thereby fix the polymer based hair dye to the hair
- wherein emitting the polymer curative light comprises performing multiple passes of the hair device to direct the polymer ultraviolet curative light on the polymer based hair dye over sections of the hair at a time.
A method of dyeing hair comprising applying a polymer based hair dye onto hair and curing the polymer based hair dye onto the hair,
- wherein the polymer based hair dye comprises colorants, an initiator, and at least one of a polymerizable oligomer, a polymerizable monomer, and combinations of polymerizable oligomers and monomers and
- wherein curing comprises projecting ultraviolet light from a hair device that comprises at least one ultraviolet light source and at least one heat source.
A hair device for curing a polymer based hair dye onto hair, comprising:
- a housing;
- at least one ultraviolet light source disposed in the housing, the ultraviolet light source adapted to emit ultraviolet at a wavelength that is able to induce polymerization of the polymer based hair dye;
- and
- a controller operatively connected to the at least one ultraviolet light source.
