  • Patent number: 11399612
    Abstract: A hair cooling apparatus includes a wearable headgear. The wearable headgear includes a flexible hose, securely positioned in a zigzag pattern within an interior cavity of the wearable headgear. The flexible hose is configured to circulate air within the interior cavity via a plurality of openings via a connector using a blower unit. The blower unit is securely positioned in a portable carrier and powered using one or more batteries. The blower unit is configured to supply air within the interior cavity of the wearable headgear via the flexible hose. The apparatus produces cooling to the user's hair and protects from the moisture for preserving an opted hairstyle of the user without affecting the lifestyle. The wearable headgear further comprises a moisture absorbing material, configured to effectively absorb the sweat around the user's brow, ear portions, and the neck portion.

  • Patent number: 10306966
    Abstract: A hair cooling and dehumidification apparatus includes a wearable headgear. The wearable headgear includes an outer layer, an insert layer, and an inner layer. The outer layer includes a supply port. The supply port is in fluid communication with a high-pressure storage tank via a vortex tube. The insert layer, detachably attached to the outer layer, includes a network of ducts and detachable insert elements. The ducts are in fluid communication with the supply port to receive a cooling gas from the vortex tube and distribute the cooling gas to the hair. The detachable insert elements are detachably attached to the insert layer via fasteners. The detachable insert elements, spaced apart to accommodate the network of ducts there between, comprise desiccant materials embedded within for absorbing moisture. The inner layer is proximal to the hair of the user to transfer the cooling gas to the hair.
