Abstract
A method and device facilitating the optimal degree of processing of hair during permanent waving (perming) of hair. As a critical part of a combination of otherwise conventional sequential perming steps, the inventive method vacuums moisture from rod-mounted hair following the water rising of waving lotion from the perm processed hair. The vacuuming device includes a cover worn on the head substantially sealed around the mounting periphery thereof, with the cover forming free-space above and around the rod mounted hair and with the cover having channel structure channeling outer ambient room temperature air toward hair roots of rod-mounted hair.
Claims20
A method of perming hair consisting essentially of, in combination:
- applying water to hair to be permed sufficiently to obtain dampened hair;
- thereafter wrapping the dampened hair on perm rods;
- thereafter applying perm solution to the hair sufficiently to obtain perm-treated hair;
- thereafter water-rinsing residual perm solution from the perm-treated hair to obtain rinsed hair;
- thereafter employing a perm-setting device, said perm-setting device consisting essentially of a first vacuuming means for substantially enclosing and maintaining free-space surrounding substantially all of a person's upper head having perm-mounted rinsed hair rinsed substantially free from residual perm solution and for applying vacuuming to an enclosed and maintained free-space substantially surrounding all of said perm rod mounted hair of said person's upper head, said method further comprising the step of vacuuming moisture from the rinsed hair mounted on perm-rods;
- thereafter applying a neutralizing water-solution perm-neutralizer to obtain neutralized hair;
- thereafter applying sufficient rinsing water to the hair to rinse residual water-solution perm-neutralizer from the hair in its neutralized state to obtain rinsed hair;
- thereafter removing residual rinsing water from the rinsed hair to obtain dried hair;
- and taking down the set hair from the perm rods subsequent to applying said neutralizer solution, said employing of the perm-setting device including enclosing space surrounding said rinsed hair followed thereafter by vacuuming of said hair by channeling a flow of ambient, room-temperature air to scalp-located ends of said hair such that channeled air is vacuum-drawn from said scalp-located ends through wet hair mounted on the perm rods thereby enhancing and facilitating rapid removal of moisture by said vacuuming, said vacuuming consisting of channeling said ambient room-temperature air concurrently to a plurality of spaced-apart locations of perm-treated rod-mounted rinsed hair.
A perm-setting device consisting essentially of a first vacuuming means for substantially enclosing and maintaing free-space surrounding substantially all of a person's upper head having perm-mounted rinsed hair rinsed substantially free from residual perm solution and for applying vacuuming to enclosed and maintained free-space substantially surrounding all of said perm rod-mounted hair of said person's upper head.
A device for vacuuming moisture from hair following rinsing perm-solution from a person's hair, consisting essentially of, in combination:
- an enclosure structure of a shape and size to substantially enclose an upper hair-portion of the top of a person's head and for providing enclosed free-space above and surrounding perm rod-mounted hair of a person when mounted on the person's head, an enclosure support structure providing support of said enclosure structure sufficiently to maintain said free-space when said enclosure structure is worn on the person's head, and vaccuming means for establishing and maintaining at-least a partial vacuum within said free-space when said enclosure structure is mounted on a person's head.
