Many women and some men prefer various hairstyling techniques to create hairstyles to meet their desires. The hairstyling usually involves washing, conditioning and then styling of the hair with either a comb, brushes, irons, hairdryers, rollers and various other methods to create hairstyles. One important aspect of hair styling is maintaining moisture of the hair. Dry hair can become brittle and result in split ends causing styling problems for the hair stylist. Therefore it would be advantageous to have a method that allows an individual to infuse moisture into hair to avoid dryness.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a steam cap and method for hair moisturizing, where the steam cap includes: an outer surface; an inner portion; a flap pocket stitched onto the inner portion, where the flap pocket includes a slit opening on one side of the pocket; and a moisturizing insert, where the moisturizing insert is placed into the flap pocket. The moisturizing insert may include an outer layer and a protective barrier.
The steps related to a method of hair moisturizing according to the present invention includes: inserting a moisturizing insert into a flap pocket of a steam cap; placing a steam cap over a user's hair; and heating the moisturizing insert releasing steam with the steam cap. The moisturizing insert may be heated by using a hooded dryer over the steam cap. Alternatively, the moisturizing insert may be heated by use of a microwave oven or using hot water with the insert.
The present invention relates to a steam cap that is used in conjunction with a hairdryer. The steam cap is placed over an individual's head and hair while under a hooded dryer. While under the hooded dryer, the cap adds moisture to the individual's hair by using an insert inside of the steam cap. The insert is placed into a flap pocket that is placed on the inner surface of the steam cap. The hooded dryer heats the insert causing a release of steam and thus infusing moisture into the user's hair. This insert includes a moisture emitting mid-section, an outer layer and a protective barrier. This insert provides moisture that accumulates within the steam cap and is absorbed by the individual's hair.
