Abstract: The Cannoli Hair Roller and Cannoli Roller Clasp is the first hair roller design to achieve “on base”, which is on the scalp stability. This design represents the ideal hair roller that professional cosmetologists have sought to make hair setting easier and more successful. The invention's unique design gives the cosmetology community what it has always been seeking, which is an “on base” hair roller that is true to being “on base” for the first time in the history of hair roller sets of any nature. This invention gives more hair volume and lift with easier styling ability, and the hair set lasts far longer than ordinary hair rollers. This invention delivers the perfect hair set.

Abstract: A reusable self-heating hair roller includes a fluid holding body containing a supercoolable fluid. The fluid holding body may be implemented in many ways, including as non-permeable, incorruptible, air-tight film, bladder or casing. The supercoolable fluid, such as sodium acetate or equivalent, uses thermochemistry to produce on command an exothermic crystallization process that generates the heat needed to style and or curl the hair. A nucleation initiator initiates a nucleation event that propagates the crystallization to harnesses the latent heat of fusion and create the heat. The nucleation initiator may be situated so that it is generally sequestered or otherwise held in a way where it is prevented from free floating within the supercoolable fluid, yet at the same time remains in full communication with the fluid.

Abstract: A hair colorant composition comprises 3-amino-2,6-dimethylphenol in combination with a second dye coupler selected from the group consisting of 2,6-dihydroxyethylaminotoluene, 2,6-diaminopyridine and a developer selected from the group consisting of 4-aminophenol, 4-amino-3-methylphenol, 4-(methylamino)phenol. A kit for coloring hair comprises the hair colorant composition. A method of treating hair comprises applying the hair colorant composition to hair.

Abstract: An ionizing hair-care appliance includes a voltage source, an electrical conductor electrically connected to the voltage source, and an ionization electrode comprising a tip and electrically connected to the voltage source by the electrical conductor. The electrode is disposed within an ionization chamber defined by the hair-care appliance and defining an unobstructed opening through which the electrode tip is exposed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cationic 6-aminoindoline of general formula (I), the addition salts thereof with an acid and the solvates thereof: the present invention is also directed towards a method for synthesizing this cationic 6-aminoindoline, the compositions, the uses, the hair dyeing methods and the devices using this cationic 6-aminoindoline.

Abstract: A heating and blowing apparatus includes a main body housing having an inlet port and a discharge port. An air flow path extends from the inlet pod to the discharge port. A rotatingly driven fan and a heating unit are arranged on the air flow path. A bypass flow path branches off from the air flow path and leads to an ion emission port. An ion generator including a discharge electrode and an opposing electrode is arranged in the bypass flow path Further, the apparatus includes a cover arranged at the ion emission port and having an opening through which ions pass. One or more protrusions are provided on a rear surface of the cover. The protrusions make contact with the opposing electrode such that the cover is grounded through the opposing electrode.

Abstract: A hair warming tool is in the form of sheet and has at least one heating part in the center thereof and a margin around said heating part. It is designed to wrap tied hair in said heating part and to be held in place to keep the wrapping state by fastening the margin with a fastening means such as an elastic band, a string or a wire. A hair treating method comprises wrapping tied hair with a hair warming tool of sheet form having at least one heating part while leaving at least the part of the hair near the roots unwrapped to warm the hair.

Abstract: A hair curling system includes a base heating unit, a hair roller, and a hair cover. The base heating unit generates and transports steam (or another medium) to the hair roller for heating and moisturizing the roller. The steam medium carries a separate hair treatment composition for treating the hair. The steam medium and the hair treatment composition are transferred to hair wound on the hair roller and covered by the hair cover. The transfer takes place within a thermally quarantined zone between the hair roller and the hair cover. An optional temperature control system may be provided for independently heating or cooling the hair cover to a temperature that provides a desired temperature gradient between the hair roller and the hair cover. One or more of an optional ionizer, crystal or mineral unit or material may also be provided to further influence the hair treatment.

Abstract: A hair curler has a support and a sheath thereon containing a gel comprising a humectant, water, and a crosslinked water soluble polymer. The curler may be heated in a microwave oven; it emits moist heat during use and reabsorbs moisture from the atmosphere between uses.

Abstract: A hair roller assembly is shown which includes a hollow roller member (12 and 60) containing a consumable heat source (14 and 62). The heat source is slidable into and out of engagement with the roller member such that, after use, the heat source may be removed and discarded and the roller member reused with a fresh consumable heat source. The heat source may include combustible material (40) or reactants (80). The combustible material is ignited by an electrical heating element (42) connectable to a battery (50). The reactants, when activated by liquid from a syringe (84), create an exothermic reaction for heating the roller member and hair wound thereon. The reactants are contained in a rupturable container (82) which is ruptured by the syringe needle (96) upon actuation of the syringe.
