Abstract: Disclosed is a method for overcoating a protective layer by heating onto a printed recording medium to protect the recording medium. This method comprises providing a transferable sheet comprising a heat resistant substrate and a transferable layer, which serves as the protective layer, and a recording medium, putting the transferable sheet on the recording medium and, in this state, heating and pressing the transferable sheet and/or the recording medium to contact-bond the transferable layer onto the recording medium, and then heating and pressing the transferred layer contact-bonded to the recording medium. According to this method, a good protective layer can be overcoated onto the recording medium independently of the shape of concaves and convexes formed on the surface of the recording medium.

Abstract: In order to dress a subject's hair using the two first and second kinds of medicine solutions, a hood must be once taken off. Therefore, in order to apply the second medicine solution, the position of the hood must be adjusted so that the head is centrally located at the hood. This adjustment is troublesome for both the operator and subject. In order to obviate such inconvenience, a hair dressing device equipped with a hood D includes a fixed hood 71 and an opening/closing hood 72 into which said hood is divided, said opening/closing hood being openably attached to said fixed hood. In this case, said opening/closing hood 72 is opened/closed so that said fixed hood 71 is opened from above.
