Abstract
A method of introducing therapeutic, cosmetic, and dyeing agents in buffer medium created by the electrophoretic flow of these solutions into the hair. The result is to increase the therapeutic effect of treatments for the hair including hair growth and regeneration. Other results include the even and stable dyeing of hair due to the increased adhering properties created through the electrophoretic device and the solutions used with it. These solutions include, but are not limited to, those dyeing and therapeutic agents which do not readily stick to the hair or those which may form unstable compounds.
Claims6
A system for applying a dyeing agent to hair comprising:
- a solution containing a dyeing agent capable of being applied to the hair;
- a plurality of positive electrodes;
- a plurality of negative electrodes juxtaposed the positive electrodes so as to establish an electric field therebetween;
- and
- a voltage supply coupled to the positive and negative electrodes, and having a voltage level sufficient to impart electrophoretic motion of the dyeing agent into the hair.
A system for applying a dyeing agent to hair comprising:
- a solution containing a dyeing agent capable of being applied to the hair;
- a comb having a plurality of teeth;
- and
- a voltage supply electrically connected to the teeth in a manner capable of forming an electric field between the teeth, the solution being disposed in the electric field so as to impart electrophoretic motion of the dyeing agent into the hair.
