Description

Field of technology to which the invention relates

The claimed invention relates to the field of hairdressing, more specifically to methods for coloring human hair.

State of the art

Currently, the following methods of coloring human hair are widely known and widely used, giving a combination of hair with the natural color of a person and dyed hair - highlighting and coloring.

Highlighting is a method of coloring human hair, which involves, for example, determining the highest point of a person's head in its natural position, isolating from a person's hair a base strand of hair growing from the highest point of the head, dividing the base strand of hair into smaller elementary strands and applying hair dye using a dyeing brush, for example, on every second elementary strand. Next, the master selects from a person’s hair strands of hair growing below the hair of the base strand, and for each isolated strand he repeats the steps of breaking this strand of hair into smaller elementary strands and dyeing every second elementary strand. After maintaining a temporary pause sufficient for dyeing the hair with dye, the dye is washed off from the person’s head. It should be noted that different masters select certain curls from human hair in any sequence, but highlighting is characterized by the mandatory presence of a stage of breaking curls into smaller elementary curls and a stage of selective coloring of elementary fibers and, as a rule, is used for coloring elementary fibers the same hair dye.

As a result of dyeing, a combination of hair with the natural color of a person and dyed hair is formed. In addition, naturally colored hair “masks” the grown root areas of the hair, as a result of which a person with colored hair using the highlighting method may not touch up their hair as often as a person who has dyed their hair in the usual way;

Coloring is a method of coloring human hair, which involves, for example, determining the highest point of a person's head in its natural position, isolating from a person's hair a base strand of hair growing from the highest point of the head, and applying hair dye to this strand. Next, the artist selects a strand of hair from the person's hair that grows below the hair of the base strand, and applies a dye to this strand using a hair dye brush, the color of which is different from the color of the dye that was used to color the hair of the base strand of hair. Next, the master repeats the steps of highlighting and dyeing the hair strands, usually constantly changing the color of the applied dye. After maintaining a temporary pause sufficient for dyeing the hair with dye, the dye is washed off from the person’s head. It should be noted that various masters isolate certain curls from human hair in any sequence, but coloring is characterized by the use of dyes of different colors for the hair of adjacent fibers.

The above methods of hair dyeing are characterized by the fact that immediately after dyeing, the dyed hair has the same color in length. After some time, the hair grows back and the root section of the hair is a different color than the dyed section of the hair, which makes the hairstyle, sooner or later, less attractive. Despite the fact that highlighting and coloring the hair allows you to “mask” this defect, after a while, touch-up of the hair is inevitable. In this case, both regrown areas of hair and areas that were previously dyed and do not require additional coloring are dyed, which unnecessarily traumatizes the hair.

Currently, the peak of popularity in the field of hair coloring belongs to naturalness, giving the hair the most natural shade, while the hair should look healthy and vibrant.

Classic highlighting has undergone major changes; the following methods of coloring human hair are widely known and widely used: shatush, ombre and balayage. Each of them gives the hair a natural sun-bleached effect, and all have a contrast between roots and ends.

Shatush is a coloring technology that represents a smooth transition from dark to lighter shades and is distinguished by its principle of paint application. The paint or brightener is applied with a regular paint brush. Before this, the hair is divided into thin strands and combed from the roots, combing is done in a chaotic manner from the outside of the strand. This will create an “air cushion” that will prevent excessive coloring of the curl. This way, the dye will only affect individual upper hairs, which will ensure an imperceptible color transition.

The ends of the hair are painted more abundantly, and closer to the roots the paint stretches into thin stripes. Sometimes a separate strand is dyed in a V-shape.

By gently stretching the dye along the strands, the effect of sun-bleached hair with light highlights is achieved. However, the comb used in this method does not allow you to get as close as possible to the roots and does not allow parallel manipulations with hair that was left outside of lightening, that is, which is directly in the comb. “Ombre” is translated as “shadow” and in contrast from shatush has a clearer color transition boundary. This is a multi-stage hair coloring technology. It allows you to get natural tints of several shades of color - for example, from light brown to dark chestnut. To make the color transition noticeable, ombre is performed on dark strands. The transition is made from the dark root zone to the light tips. At the same time, in the middle between the two shades the border is blurred. The transition to a light tone can begin from the middle of the hair length.

During the dyeing process, the dye is applied to the selected area and covered with foil. After the required time for painting has passed, the paint is washed off. The dye is reapplied to the previously treated area, shifting the top line a couple of centimeters. Cover with foil again, wait and wash off the paint. Ombre is suitable for short haircuts. Looks more impressive on dark hair.

“Balayage” is translated from French as “revenge”, because... The work of a master with a brush when applying a coloring composition to the hair resembles broad strokes of a broom.

When dyeing “balayage”, the ends of the hair and strands are highlighted, starting from the middle.

The dye is applied in a V-shaped or W-shaped manner. First, paint the sides of the selected strand, and then its ends. Two or three shades are used, “flowing” into each other. Color transitions can be sharp or smooth, without clear boundaries.

We can say that balayage is a cross between shatush and ombre.

There is a method of dyeing hair using a hair dryer called Airtouch (certificate for the trademark “AIRTOUCH” No. 682032, patent RU 2717734, published 03/25/2020, patent RU 2697497, published 08/14/2019, patent RU 2717734, published March 25, 2020) These methods involve isolating thin strands of hair in a certain sequence throughout the head. Each strand is held in a pull towards the surface of the head, directing a flow of cold air from the hair dryer through the strand. In this case, part of the hair is “blown out”, and part remains in the hands. During exposure to air, weaker and shorter hairs are blown out, which are thus not exposed to negative effects. A lightening agent is applied to the hair that remains pinched between the fingers and wrapped in foil. Each strand treated with dye is lined with foil, thermal paper or a cotton roller. In this way, the entire mass of hair is processed. Lighten the strands, retreating a few centimeters or close to the root. Hair coloring with a hairdryer can be done by darkening the roots or leaving them uncolored. The result of this coloring: volumetric color; absence of a visible border of root regrowth. However, this dyeing method takes a very long time, on average from 5 to 8 hours.

All of the above existing methods of dyeing human scalp hair do not allow obtaining the predicted desired result on the hair, obtaining a smooth transition from a natural or previously dyed hair shade to a lighter tone. In known methods, the dye is applied to the hair using a dye brush; with the above methods, the transition is not smooth, it is sharp, this leads to additional coloring of the root zone of hair growth on a person’s head immediately after bleaching. In known dyeing methods, it is impossible to achieve a smooth transition as close as possible to the beginning of hair growth; many technical manipulations are performed, which significantly increases the time of hair dyeing.

In the above methods, the master selects a strand of hair from the growing hair on a person’s head and works with it at his own discretion - by blowing it with a hairdryer, or dividing it into strands, then the master needs to take foil, thermal paper or a tablet for coloring and place it under the strand, take a brush for coloring, apply a lightening compound, place the brush, select the next strand and perform the same manipulations again, strand by strand. Applying the dye in this way significantly increases the time of hair coloring, while when applying the dye to the hair of a person’s head with a brush, the master cannot control whether a sufficient amount of the lightening composition is applied to the hair or whether it is necessary to apply more; therefore, the dye or lightening composition is applied with a dyeing brush more than necessary to avoid leaving uncolored sections of hair.

The author of the invention is a master colorist with more than 11 years of experience in the field of hair coloring (https://vk.com/balashovastepanova).

The present invention is based on the objective of simplifying the coloring of human scalp hair by obtaining a smooth transition from a natural or previously colored hair shade to a lighter tone.

Disclosure of the invention

The specified technical result of the proposed dyeing method is achieved by the fact that the application of the lightening composition to the hair of a person’s head is carried out using hands, without the use of additional tools for coloring (such as a brush), which significantly reduces the consumption of the lightening composition (dye) used in lightening hair, and the absence of additional manipulations significantly reduces the time of the hair coloring procedure. In the claimed dyeing method, hair strands are backcombed from the inside, leaving the strand smooth on the outside, which allows you to apply the composition as close as possible to the root, where hair growth begins. Coloring is carried out using any color scheme, based on the individual anatomical structure of the human head, individual hair growth and the amount of hair. Based on the chosen dyeing scheme, all strands, or partially selected strands, growing from a person’s head are combed from the inside with a comb, while the strand remains smooth on the outside. Combing the strands all over the head takes from 10 to 20 minutes; the lightening composition is applied to the hair by hand after all the hair strands have been combed from the inside. The composition is applied tightly along the length of the hair, smoothly distributing it with your hands to the beginning of hair growth. Applying the composition in this way takes from 30 to 60 minutes. After applying the lightening composition, a period of time sufficient to lighten the hair is maintained, on average from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, after which the hair is washed, the hair is tinted along the length to neutralize unwanted shades, treated, and dried. The entire process of the claimed method of dyeing human scalp hair, from the beginning of the procedure to the final stage of drying human scalp hair, takes no more than 3.5 hours. Based on more than 11 years of experience, the author of the invention found that the consumption of the lightening composition (dye) when using a brush and manipulations indicated in other methods, for average length and thickness of hair, averages 200-250 g. When using the proposed method of hair coloring, the consumption of the lightening composition (dye) is, on average, 90-100 grams. Applying the lightening composition with your hands allows you to feel whether a sufficient amount of the composition is applied to the hair, thus allowing you not to apply an excess amount of the composition, thereby reducing the consumption of the mixture for coloring by 2-2.5 times. At the same time, applying the lightening composition to the hair by hand takes from 30 to 60 minutes, while other methods of applying the composition take from 2 to 4 hours. In addition, all of the above methods of hair coloring do not allow for a smooth transition from a natural or previously colored hair shade to a lighter tone in a minimum period of time. In the claimed method of hair coloring, the strands are combed from the inside, while the strand remains smooth on the outside, which allows for a smooth transition of color from the natural or previously dyed hair shade to a lighter tone as close as possible to the beginning of hair growth.

In one of the embodiments of the invention, the master studies the condition of the hair to be dyed, choosing a dyeing scheme for work, based on the individual anatomical structure of the person’s head, individual growth and amount of hair, for example, on the upper occipital and parietal zone, he selects a diamond from the growing hair, pins the diamond hair clip. Along the upper edge of the rhombus of the upper occipital and parietal zones, towards the right and left temporolateral zones, the master selects strands with diagonal partings, each of which is 0.5 cm thick. Holding the strand in one hand, with the other hand the master takes a comb and combs the strand with the inside. Thus, the master combs all the strands from the upper occipital and parietal zones to the end of the hair growth of the right and left temporal zones, throwing each combed strand of hair to the highest point of the head. Then the master proceeds to combing the strands inside the previously selected diamond on the upper occipital and parietal zone, the strands of the diamond are separated by horizontal partings, the thickness of each strand is 0.5 cm. The master combs each strand from the inside in the same way as in the previous zones, throwing to the highest point of the head. Then the master proceeds to backcombing the strands of the lower edge of the diamond from the upper occipital zone to the end of the lower occipital zone, dividing them in half with a vertical parting into two halves. On each half, the master selects 0.5 cm thick strands with diagonal partings, combs the strands from the inside, throwing each strand to the highest point of the head. After all the strands of hair are combed from the inside, the master mixes the lightening composition (dye) according to its recipe. One skilled in the art will understand that the term “brightening composition, formulation, dye, dye numbers” may also include shades, mixtones and percentages thereof. Further in the text, the terms “brightening composition, formulation, dye, dye numbers” will be used in this sense.

Having mixed the composition according to the recipe, the master proceeds to applying the composition to the combed strands of hair. The method of applying the composition to each strand of hair is as follows: the master grabs a strand of hair in accordance with the selected grip level and holds the strand in a pull in the direction of the hair cut. With the other hand (with a previously put on glove), the master takes the lightening composition, applies the composition to the strand with his hand, while the composition is applied tightly along the length of the hair. On the inside of the strand, the composition is applied before backcombing; on the outside, the composition is applied before hair begins to grow. After applying the composition, each strand is laid with thermal paper, foil or cotton wool. The master maintains a period of time sufficient to lighten the hair, which depends on the type and condition of the hair, as well as on the recipe used, and ranges from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. At the end of the temporary period, the master washes off the lightening composition from the hair. Then the master tints the hair to neutralize unwanted shades according to the recipe, while the master chooses the dye, mixtons and their percentage independently, based on the resulting lightening background. After waiting a period of time, depending on the type and condition of the hair, as well as on the formulation used, ranging from 20 to 35 minutes, the master washes the hair, moving on to caring and drying the hair.

In the second embodiment of the invention, the master studies the condition of the hair to be dyed, selects a dyeing scheme to work on, based on the individual anatomical structure of the human head, individual hair growth, the number of hairs, for example; From the growing hair, the master randomly selects strands 1 cm thick, taking into account the amount of hair on the head, grabs the hair strand with one hand in the direction of the hair cut line, and holds a comb in the other hand to comb the hair strands. The master starts the comb from the inside of the strand, combing it from the inside, while the strand remains smooth on the outside. In this way, he combs all the strands of hair or the required number of them, based on the condition and quality of the hair, applies the composition with his hands onto each strand tightly along the length of the strand, on the inside of the strand, the composition is applied before combing or slightly going into the comb. From the outside, the master applies the composition to the root, where hair growth begins, or retreats a few centimeters, smoothly blending upwards towards the beginning of hair growth. Each strand is covered with thermal paper or foil, overlapping each other, thus working through all the combed strands of hair. A period of time sufficient to lighten the hair is maintained, the lightening composition is washed off from the hair, after which the master tints the hair to neutralize unwanted shades with a dye, while the master chooses the dye, mixtons and their percentage independently, based on the resulting lightening background. At the end of the dyeing process, the master provides care, dries, and, if necessary, styles the hair.

In the third embodiment of the invention, the master studies the condition of the hair to be dyed, choosing a dyeing scheme for work, based on the individual anatomical structure of the person’s head, individual growth and amount of hair, for example, on the upper occipital and parietal zone, he selects a diamond from the growing hair, pins the diamond with a clip hair. Along the upper edge of the diamond of the upper occipital and parietal zones, towards the right and left temporolateral zones, the master selects strands with diagonal partings, each of which is 1 cm thick. Holding the strand in one hand, the master takes a comb with the other hand and combs the strand from the inside . In this way, the master combs all the strands from the upper occipital and parietal zones to the end of the hair growth of the right and left temporal zones, throwing each combed strand of hair to the highest point of the head. Then the master proceeds to combing the strands inside the previously selected diamond on the upper occipital and parietal zones, the strands of the diamond are separated by horizontal partings, the thickness of each strand is 1 cm. The master combs each strand from the inside in the same way as in the previous zones, throwing it to the highest point of the head. Then the master proceeds to backcombing the strands of the lower edge of the diamond from the upper occipital zone to the end of the lower occipital zone, dividing them in half with a vertical parting into two halves. On each half, the master selects strands 1 cm thick with diagonal partings, combs the strands from the inside, throwing each strand to the highest point of the head. After all the strands of hair are combed from the inside, the master mixes the lightening composition (dye) according to its recipe. One skilled in the art will understand that the term “brightening composition, formulation, dye, dye numbers” may also include shades, mixtones and percentages thereof. Further in the text, the terms “brightening composition, formulation, dye, dye numbers” will be used in this sense.

Having mixed the composition according to the recipe, the master proceeds to applying the composition to the combed strands of hair. The method of applying the composition to each strand of hair is as follows: the master grabs a strand of hair in accordance with the selected grip level and holds the strand in a pull in the direction of the hair cut. With the other hand (with a previously put on glove), the master takes the lightening composition, applies the composition to the strand with his hand, while the composition is applied tightly along the length of the hair. On the inside of the strand, the composition is applied before backcombing; on the outside, the composition is applied before hair begins to grow. After applying the composition, each strand is laid with thermal paper, foil or cotton wool. The master maintains a period of time sufficient to lighten the hair, which depends on the type and condition of the hair, as well as on the recipe used, and ranges from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. At the end of the temporary period, the master washes off the lightening composition from the hair. Then the master tints the hair to neutralize unwanted shades according to the recipe, while the master chooses the dye, mixtons and their percentage independently, based on the resulting lightening background. After waiting a period of time, depending on the type and condition of the hair, as well as on the formulation used, ranging from 20 to 35 minutes, the master washes the hair, moving on to caring and drying the hair.

In the fourth embodiment of the invention, the master studies the condition of the hair to be dyed, choosing a dyeing scheme for work, based on the individual anatomical structure of the person’s head, individual growth and amount of hair, the master selects a diamond from the growing hair on the upper occipital and parietal zone, pins the diamond with a hair clip . Along the upper edge of the rhombus of the upper occipital and parietal zones, towards the right and left temporolateral zones, the master selects strands with zigzag partings, each of which is 0.5 cm thick. Holding the strand in one hand, with the other hand the master takes a comb and combs the strand with the inside. In this way, the master combs all the strands from the upper occipital and parietal zones to the end of the hair growth of the right and left temporal zones, throwing each combed strand of hair to the highest point of the head. Then the master proceeds to combing the strands inside the previously selected diamond on the upper occipital and parietal zone, the strands of the diamond are separated by horizontal partings, the thickness of each strand is 0.5 cm. The master combs each strand from the inside in the same way as in the previous zones, throwing to the highest point of the head. Then the master proceeds to backcombing the strands of the lower edge of the diamond from the upper occipital zone to the end of the lower occipital zone, dividing them in half with a vertical parting into two halves. On each half, the master selects 0.5 cm thick strands with zigzag partings, combs the strands from the inside, throwing each strand to the highest point of the head. After all the strands of hair are combed from the inside, the master mixes the lightening composition (dye) according to its recipe. One skilled in the art will understand that the term “brightening composition, formulation, dye, dye numbers” may also include shades, mixtones and percentages thereof. Further in the text, the terms “brightening composition, formulation, dye, dye numbers” will be used in this sense.

Having mixed the composition according to the recipe, the master proceeds to applying the composition to the combed strands of hair. The method of applying the composition to each strand of hair is as follows: the master grabs a strand of hair in accordance with the selected grip level and holds the strand in a pull in the direction of the hair cut. With the other hand (with a previously put on glove), the master takes the lightening composition, applies the composition to the strand with his hand, while the composition is applied tightly along the length of the hair. On the inside of the strand, the composition is applied before backcombing; on the outside, the composition is applied before hair begins to grow. After applying the composition, each strand is laid with thermal paper, foil or cotton wool. The master maintains a period of time sufficient to lighten the hair, which depends on the type and condition of the hair, as well as on the recipe used, and ranges from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. At the end of the temporary period, the master washes off the lightening composition from the hair. Then the master tints the hair to neutralize unwanted shades according to the recipe, while the master chooses the dye, mixtons and their percentage independently, based on the resulting lightening background. After waiting a period of time, depending on the type and condition of the hair, as well as on the formulation used, ranging from 20 to 35 minutes, the master washes the hair, moving on to caring and drying the hair.

The inventive method of hair coloring can be applied in beauty salons using brands of well-known dyes and lightening compositions, to obtain a predictable desired result on the hair, with a smooth transition from a natural or previously colored hair shade to a lighter tone, with minimal dyeing time and minimal consumption of the brightening composition (dye).
