Abstract
A method and apparatus for applying a permanent wave, wherein the hair is wound on curlers, a first permanent wave applying solution is applied to the hair, a permanent wave applying hood is put on the head of the person, at least one of the steam blowing and heating devices installed in the permanent wave applying hood is actuated to cause the first solution to sufficiently wet and permeate the hair, and a second permanent wave applying solution is spread over the hair by a second solution spraying device installed in the permanent wave applying hood while at least one of the steam blowing and heating devices is actuated to cause the second solution to sufficiently permeate the hair of the person.
Claims16
A method of applying a permanent wave comprising:
- a first solution applying step including winding the user's hair on curlers, applying the first solution to the user's hair and putting a permanent wave applying hood on the user's head;
- a first solution permeating step including actuating at least one of steam blowing and heating means installed in said permanent wave applying hood to cause the first solution to sufficiently permeate the user's hair;
- testing the elasticity of the curls of the user's hair prior to the spraying of any further solutions and without removing the user's head from the entire hood;
- subsequently spraying a second permanent wave applying solution over the hair within the permanent wave applying hood;
- and a second solution permeating step including actuating at least one of said steam blowing and heating means concurrently with said second solution spraying step to cause the second solution to sufficiently permeate the user's hair.
A permanent wave applying apparatus comprising:
- a main body having steam blowing means and second solution feed means;
- and a permanent wave applying hood having a hood main body and a drain collecting ring removably attachable to said hood main body, means pivotally connecting the hood main body and the drain collecting ring about a common joint to the main body, locking means disposed between the hood main body and the drain collecting ring for releasably locking them together, and wherein said hood main body is provided with a plurality of second solution spraying nozzles and said drain collecting ring is provided with a steam blowing pipe.
