  • Patent number: 10905229
    Abstract: An antistatic health care comb comprises a comb body (3) which is coated with a conductive metal film (2), and the conductive metal film (2) is coated with a resin protective film (1). The two film are combined so that the conductivity of the conductive metal film (2) is partially reduced, and the original pure conductor is transformed into a composite semi-conductive structure product and has a higher charge migration rate that is typical for semi-conductive material. The friction generated charge can be guided and dissipates faster through direct contacted with the human body. Formation of static electricity is prevented, which protects the hair, makes the hair smoother when combing, and prevents curling phenomenon; the front side of the comb tooth portion has an upwardly arched airbag leather, and the airbag leather has airbag through holes (8) and a plurality of comb tooth.

    Abstract: Hair growth therapy is provided by a device capable of delivering multiple hair growth therapies to a user, either individually or in combination. The device includes multiple optical sources providing an array of different optical stimulation signals, while also having vibration capabilities to provide physical stimulation. The multiple optical stimulation therapies include high powered lasers, and light emitting diodes (LEDs) of different wavelengths. Through the use of these multiple light sources, stimulation of hair follicles is provided at the root, along the upper portion, and throughout the base, each promoting healthy hair growth. In addition, the vibration therapies provide a messaging affect, thus further stimulating blood flow in the scalp and helping to support healthy hair growth.

  • Patent number: 7571731
    Abstract: A hair brush for preventing hair loss is provided. The hair brush of the current invention is comprised of a main body, a bristle body and a spike body. The main body of the brush is made of ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) polymer. The bristle body and the spike shape body are made of mixtures of anion emitting material, magnets and plastics such as silicon and polyurethane. Strength of the magnetic field generated from the bristle body and spike body is controlled to be 5 to 50 Gauss by controlling composition of carbon steel and strength of the magnetizer. Emitting anion concentration is controlled to be 400 to 700 each/cm3 by adjusting composition of anion emitting materials. Combing 10 cm2 area of scalp one minute a day for 30 days, number of hair loss a day decreased from over 100 each to less than 20 each.
