Abstract

The method involves holding a hair pass (10) using the guide fingers (23) of one hand which is the guide hand (20), and then cutting the hair held between the guide fingers using the scissors (62) held on the other hand (60). The hair is cut along the guide fingers while continuously or gradually moving the guide hand in steps. The movement of the guide hand and the cutting of the hair pass are coordinated such that the hair points of the cut hair are formed in a certain curved cut line.

Description

The invention relates to a method for cutting hair, in particular for cutting human hair. In the generic method, the hairs to be cut are taken in the form of Haarpassés and held or guided by a hand, which is referred to below as a guide hand. For this purpose, the Haarpassé between two fingers of the guide hand, which are referred to below as a guide finger, clamped. The Haarpassé held in this way is cut in the generic method with a cutting device along the guide fingers. In this case, the cutting device with another hand, which is called cut hand below, operated or operated.

Such hair cutting methods are known, in particular for cutting human hair, and are part of the standard repertoire of the experienced hairdresser. In such hair cutting procedures, the hairdresser takes linear or long hair tufts, so-called hair passes, with a comb and clamps them between two fingers of the guide hand. Most Haarpassé is clamped between the index and middle finger of the guide hand.

The guide hand and the guide fingers are kept substantially straight in the previously known method and aligned such that the pinched between the guide fingers Haarpassé essentially appears as a flat, flat hair tufts. The hairs are erected substantially perpendicular to the course of the scalp in the region of the hair roots, so that the Haarpassé forms a plane substantially perpendicular to the scalp.

The Haarpassé held in this way is cut off along the guide fingers in the previously known methods. An essential feature of the previously known methods is that guide hand and guide fingers are not moved during cutting, but are held as rigid as possible in position. If you align the Haarpassé after performing such a cut again in the same way as the previous cutting, the hair tips of the Haarpassés form a line - hereinafter referred to as the cutting line - which is substantially straight. With this cutting technique can be achieved that the hair of a Haarpassés are cut to substantially the same length. If, in addition to the hairline to be cut, a part of a previously cut hair pass is taken, then the hair of the hair pass to be cut can be cut to the same length as the previously cut hair pass.

The previously known method for cutting hair is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. As shown in Figure 1, the guide fingers between which the hair-pint is clamped are held rigid and in position during the cutting of the hair-pass, and it is cut along the substantially straight-aligned guide fingers. As a result, the cutting line formed by the hair tips of the cut hair pass is essentially straight, as can be seen in FIG.

The previously known method has the disadvantage that no curved cut lines can be cut. However, the straight cutting lines have disadvantages. In particular, it has been found that the haircut grows in straight cutting lines within four to six weeks. Besides, the straight allow Cutting lines merely the production of the geometric hairstyle. The often desired structure of hairstyle volume must be regularly produced in a second operation by trimming, for example in the techniques thinning, twist-cut, point-cut or slice-cut.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to propose an improved hair cutting method. Among other things, the improved hair-cutting method should be characterized in that it does not have the disadvantages known from the prior art. In particular, a hair cutting method is proposed, which allows to produce curved cutting lines when cutting Haarpassés.

The object is achieved in that the guide hand is moved continuously or step by step after recording or pinching the Haarpassés to be cut. The Haarpassé is at least partially cut during this movement of the guide hand. If the guide hand is moved stepwise, this cutting of the hair pass can occur during and / or between the movement steps.

In the movement of the guide hand according to the invention, the hairs of the trapped hair pass are at least temporarily held under tension or tension. At the same time, at least temporarily, the hair is allowed to slip between the guide fingers to give room to the movement of the guide hand. Such slip causes an extension of the hair portion between the hair roots and the guide fingers. The movement of the guide hand may consist in an angling, turning, screwing, curling and / or bending of the guide hand and / or the guide fingers and / or in a translational movement of the guide hand, for example by lifting the arm. Depending on the type of movement selected, pieces of hair of different lengths will slip through the guide fingers at different points. Is cut during or after the movement of the guide hand along the guide fingers, so creates a line of intersection, by the previous movement the leading hand and the resulting slippage of hair is characterized. Preferably, the movement of the guide hand on the time course of cutting the Haarpassés be tuned such that the hair tips of the cut Haarpassés form a predetermined desired cut line, this being preferably a curved cutting line.

In this way, the advantages of the invention are achieved. With the hair cutting method according to the invention Haarpassés can be cut so that the hair of the cut Haarpassés have different lengths. In particular, curved cutting lines can be generated.

This leads to the further advantage that geometric haircut and volume structure can be combined in one operation. An increase in the volume of hairstyle can be achieved by cutting adjacent or closely spaced hairs to different lengths. This is usually realized in previously known hair cutting techniques in that the geometric haircut is reworked accordingly in a second operation, for example with the techniques thinning, twist-cut, slice-cut or point-cut. The inventive method allows the production of curved cutting lines within a Haarpassés cutting adjacent or close to each other lying hairs to different lengths. As a result, the operation of the geometric shape section can be combined with the volume structure. This brings with it the advantage of more efficient haircutting.

Due to the variable forms of cutting lines hair cutting method of the invention has the further advantage that gradations and graduations can be incorporated directly into the hairstyle in the single operation. The design of the cut line of the Haarpassés according to the method of the invention, it also allows to cut larger passports. While hair must be cut in passports of about 2 cm in length in prior art hair cutting method, it allows the inventive method with the same shape result to cut the hair in passports of up to 10 cm in length.

Also by the aforementioned aspects, the inventive method allows a more efficient hair cutting.

Finally, with the hair cutting method according to the invention, a haircut can be produced which grows out less quickly than haircuts produced by known hair cutting methods. While produced by the previously known methods hair cuts out in about four to six weeks, can be achieved with the inventive method that the growth of the haircut occurs only after up to twelve weeks. This effect is achieved in that the haircut is constructed locally from different hair lengths, so that the haircut is displaced less quickly in natural hair growth. The locally different hair lengths, formed by lower or intermediate lengths adjacent or close to each other lying hair, which can be created by the hair cutting method according to the invention in one operation, thus allowing both volume and delay the growth of the haircut.

In preferred embodiments of the method according to the invention, the movement of the guide hand after recording or after pinching the Haarpassés comprises individual or combinations or overlays of the movements listed below. These movements can be carried out, inter alia, by bending the guide hand in the wrist, bending the guide fingers in the ankle joint, bending the guide fingers in the finger joints or by translationally moving the guide hand, for example by moving the guide arm belonging to the hereinafter referred to as a guide arm. In a preferred embodiment of the method, the movement of the guide hand after receiving or after pinching the Haarpassés may include angling of the hair joint. Preferably, the wrist is angled inward, so that the angle between the palm and forearm is reduced. Furthermore, the movement of the guide hand may include turning the guide hand, especially in the wrist. Another possible move is removal the guide hand of the hair roots, in particular by a suitable movement of the guide arm. Further, the movement of the guide hand may include angling the guide fingers in the ankle joint, particularly such that the angle between the guide fingers and the palm of the hand decreases. The movement of the guide hand may also include a bending of the guide fingers, preferably in the finger joints, in particular such that this bending in combination with the bending of the guide fingers in the finger joints and / or the bending of the guide hand in the wrist represents a curling of the guide hand. In addition, the movement of the guide hand may include pivoting the guide fingers with respect to the orientation when capturing the hair pass, preferably such that the line formed by the guide fingers is skewed with respect to the line of hair roots of the recorded hair pass. Preferably, this type of movement is started with the cutting of the hair pass, after the guide fingers are pivoted by about 90 ° with respect to the orientation when receiving the Haarpassés and / or with respect to the lines formed by the hair roots of the Haarpassés.

Advantageously, the movement of the guide hand, after pinching the hair pass, comprises a movement whereby the knuckles of the guide fingers are more remote from the hair roots of the pinched hairs than the tips of the guide fingers. Due to the slipping of the hair during this movement, longer hair pieces slip between the guide fingers near the knuckle than near the tips of the guide fingers. After such a movement, the cutting along the guide fingers then leads to the result that the hair of the Haarpassés are cut to different lengths.

In addition, the movement of the guide hand may include a movement through which the initially the hair roots side facing away from the guide fingers in the course of movement, the hair roots facing. In particular, if the outside of the guide fingers, ie the side on which the fingernails are located, is turned away from the hair roots when recording or when pinching the Haarpassés, the movement are made such that the outside of the guide fingers is the hair roots turned. This embodiment of the method makes it possible to at least partially wrap the Haarpassé in the course of movement around one of the fingers, so that the slippage of the Haarpassés can be better controlled by the guide fingers.

In a further possible embodiment, the movement of the guide hand comprises a movement by which the Haarpassé is spirally twisted.

In a further preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the movement of the guide hand after receiving the Haarpassés comprises the steps listed below. First, the hairline is pinched between the guide fingers with the wrist extended and the guide fingers extended substantially, the line formed by the hand and guide fingers preferably being aligned substantially parallel to the line of the hair roots. In a subsequent step, the hand in the wrist and the guide fingers in the ankle joint are angled until the forearm of the guide arm and guide fingers enclose an angle of about 90 ° or over 90 °. In a further step, the angling of the wrist and the bending of the guide fingers in the ankle joint is continued. In addition, in this step, the guide fingers are bent in the finger joints, so that the movement is similar or equal to a total curling of the guide hand. The movement is continued in this step at least until the last finger member of the guide fingers is substantially parallel to the lower arm of the guide arm and points in the direction of the elbow of the guide arm. During the last described movement step the Haarpassé is cut, wherein the cutting is preferably started at the fingertips and cut to the knuckles.

Preferably, a pair of scissors is used to cut the hair pass. It is advantageous, the Haarpassé in several individual, especially smaller, Cutting paper cuts. Preferably, in a single one of the several paper cuts about 0.5 to 1 cm of the length of the Haarpassés be cut.

An embodiment of the method according to the invention is explained in detail with reference to the figures 1 to 8.

FIG. 1 shows the cutting of a hair pass 10 according to the previously known method. The guide fingers 22, 23, between which the Haarpassé 10 is clamped, are held rigid and substantially straight during the cutting of the Haarpasses 10. The Haarpassé 10 is cut along the guide fingers 22, 23 in a straight line with the scissors 62, so that the sectional image shown in Figure 2 with a substantially straight line of intersection 12 is formed.

Figures 3 to 7 show an example of the sequence of cutting a Haarpassés 10 according to the inventive method in an image sequence.

As shown in Figure 3, the Haarpassé 10 between the index finger 22 and middle finger 23 of the guide hand 20 is clamped. The guide fingers 22, 23 are only slightly angled in the ankle joint 26, 27 and in the finger joints 30, 31, 32, 33 is substantially stretched. The recorded Haarpassé 10 essentially forms a flat surface, which is spanned by the nip line between the guide fingers 22, 23 and the line of the hair roots 14 of the recorded Haarpasses 10.

After receiving the Haarpassés 10 takes a movement in the position shown in Figure 4. For this purpose, the guide fingers 22, 23 angled in the ankle joint 26, 27. At the same time, the guide hand 20 is rotated such that the palm 29 of the guide hand 20 approaches a position substantially parallel to the area of the scalp in which the hair roots 14 of the received hair pass 10 are located. During this movement, the Haarpassé 10 is spirally twisted by about 90 °, so that it no longer forms a flat surface. At the same time, the nipping line formed by the guide fingers 22, 23 gets into a position skewed to the line of the hair roots 14 of the recorded hair pass 10. In this movement, the hair of the recorded Haarpasses 10 are held slightly under train, and it is a controlled slippage of hair between the guide fingers 22, 23 allowed.

When the guide fingers 22, 23 in the ankle joint 26, 27 are angled more than approximately 60 °, as shown in FIG. 4, cutting of the hair pass 10 is started by the tips 45, 46 of the guide fingers. In the position shown in Figure 4, the Haarpassé 10 is partially placed around the middle finger 23 of the guide hand 20. As a result, the slippage of the Haarpasses 10 between the guide fingers 22, 23 are better controlled.

As can be seen in FIGS. 5 to 7, the guide fingers 22, 23 are further angled on further cutting of the hair pass 10 in the ankle joints 26, 27 and in the finger joints 30, 31, 32, 33. During this angling the Haarpassé 10 is still kept under tension. It is allowed that the jammed Hair between the guide fingers 22, 23 slowly slip through. In this case, in greater proximity to the knuckles 26, 27 longer hair pieces of the Haarpassés 10 between the guide fingers 22, 23 slip through. During the above-described movement of the guide hand 20, the Haarpassé 10, as shown in Figures 5 to 7, progressively cut. As can be seen from Figure 7, the cutting of the Haarpassés 10 and the bending of the guide fingers 22, 23 coordinated so that the cutting of the Haarpasses 10 is completed when the last member 40, 41 of the guide fingers 22, 23 substantially parallel to the forearm 21 of the guide arm is aligned and points in the direction of the elbow of the guide arm.

With the sequence of cutting a napkin 10 shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, the cutting line 12 shown in FIG. 8 can be produced. In particular, FIG. 8 illustrates that a curved cutting line 12 can be produced with the hair cutting method according to the invention.
