Definitions
- This invention relates to a hair masking sheet for masking first portions of strands of selected hair of a head of hair from second portions of the strands while the second portions are subjected to chemical action.
- hair masking sheets in the process of root perming.
- the process is carried out by winding on a perm roller first portions of strands of selected hair of a head of hair and wrapping a masking sheet around the roller so as to envelop the said first portions and then winding the remaining second portions of the strands onto the roller.
- the assembly is then pinned into position adjacent a scalp of the head.
- the process is repeated with further selected strands of hair and further rollers and masking sheets.
- the head of hair is then subjected to action of perming liquid and, when complete, the rollers and masking sheets are removed.
- a disadvantage of the methods of root perming known hitherto is that they are time consuming in that the application of masking sheets requires accurate positioning; they are unprofessional in that they do not provide for a standardised method of operation; and, because of the amount of masking sheet material used, when a masking sheet is wound on a roller the assembly is extremely bulky and difficult to secure in a satisfactory manner.
- the invention is characterised in that there is provided a hair masking sheet which is elongate and is provided with an opening intermediate end portions thereof so that, when strands of selected hair extend through the opening and the sheet is moved longitudinally of the strands to a selected location relative to the strands and envelops the first portions of the strands rolled down to the location, the second portions of the strands remain exposed to be subjected to chemical action.

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a hair masking sheet for masking first portions of strands of selected hair of a head of hair from second portions of the strands while the second portions are subjected to chemical action.
- It is known to use hair masking sheets in the process of root perming. The process is carried out by winding on a perm roller first portions of strands of selected hair of a head of hair and wrapping a masking sheet around the roller so as to envelop the said first portions and then winding the remaining second portions of the strands onto the roller. The assembly is then pinned into position adjacent a scalp of the head. The process is repeated with further selected strands of hair and further rollers and masking sheets. The head of hair is then subjected to action of perming liquid and, when complete, the rollers and masking sheets are removed.
- A disadvantage of the methods of root perming known hitherto is that they are time consuming in that the application of masking sheets requires accurate positioning; they are unprofessional in that they do not provide for a standardised method of operation; and, because of the amount of masking sheet material used, when a masking sheet is wound on a roller the assembly is extremely bulky and difficult to secure in a satisfactory manner.
- The invention is characterised in that there is provided a hair masking sheet which is elongate and is provided with an opening intermediate end portions thereof so that, when strands of selected hair extend through the opening and the sheet is moved longitudinally of the strands to a selected location relative to the strands and envelops the first portions of the strands rolled down to the location, the second portions of the strands remain exposed to be subjected to chemical action.
- If root perming of a head of hair is carried out using hair masking sheets in accordance with the present invention, the process may be carried out at considerably greater speed than if the process were to be carried out with hair masking sheets known hitherto; the process would be more professional than hitherto in that the hair masking sheets in accordance with the present invention all have the same features; and, since material of a hair masking sheet in accordance with the invention is considerably reduced compared with hair masking sheets known hitherto, the bulk of material on a roller when carrying a hair masking sheet in accordance with the present invention is greatly reduced compared with hair masking sheets known hitherto resulting in greater accuracy when choosing roller size.
- Following is a description by way of example only and with reference to the accompanying drawings, of one method of carrying the invention into effect.
- In the drawings:-
- Figure 1 is a plan view of an embodiment of a hair masking sheet in accordance with the present invention, and
- Figures 2 to 8 are diagrammatic representations indicating steps in carrying out a method of root perming using the sheet shown in Figure 1.
- Referring to the drawings, there is shown an elongate rectangular sheet of transparent
plastics film material 10 arranged such that tear propagation of the material of the sheet is in a direction substantially parallel with alongitudinal axis 11 of the sheet. The expression 'tear propagation' means a direction in which the sheet will tear easily, when subjected to a force, due to orientation of molecules constituting the material. Thesheet 10 is provided with arectilinear slit 12 extending transversely of thelongitudinal axis 11 and substantially midway between opposite end portions of thesheet 10, opposite ends of theslit 12 being spaced inwardly from corresponding adjacent margins of thesheet 10 as shown at 13 and 14. Thesheet 10 also is provided with aseam 15 extending adjacent theslit 12 from one marginal edge of thesheet 10 to the opposite marginal edge of thesheet 10 and transverse to thelongitudinal axis 11. In effect, thesheet 10 is simultaneously provided with theslit 12 and theseam 15 by a heating tool which also incorporates a knife whereby, on application of the tool, thesheet 10 is heated locally to provide theseam 15 and simultaneously is cut by the knife of the tool to provide theslit 12. - Prior to use, the
sheet 10 is pulled in opposite directions, as indicated by the arrows A and B in Figure 1, thereby widening theslit 12 as shown in Figure 1. - Referring now to Figures 2 to 8 of the drawings,
strands 16 of selected hair extending from ascalp 17 of ahead 18 are threaded through theslit 12 of thesheet 10, as shown in Figure 2, and the sheet is then moved downwardly of thestrands 16 and left to rest near thescalp 17, as shown in Figure 3. Portions of thestrands 16 to be protected from a perm solution are then wound down on aperm roller 19 to a position determined by a permist such that only the portions of thestrands 16 which are to be subjected to chemical action of the perm solution are left unwound, as shown in Figure 4. - The
sheet 10 is then moved upwardly from thescalp 17 towards theperm roller 19 and an end portion of thesheet 10, as indicated by the arrow C in Figure 5, is brought up to theperm roller 19 and wound down with the roller as far as theslit 12 in thesheet 10. This operation ensures that the portions of thestrands 16 which have already been wound on to the roller are covered and protected by a portion of thesheet 10. The next stage is to wrap the remaining portion, indicated by the arrow D in Figure 6, of thesheet 10 which extends below theperm roller 19 over theroller 19 and downwardly thereof so as to extend adjacent the unwound portions of thestrands 16, as shown in Figure 7. This operation further encapsulates the already wound portions of thestrands 16 on theroller 19. Theroller 19 is then wound down to thescalp 17, as shown in Figure 8. This procedure ensures that the portion of thesheet 10 indicated by the arrow D in Figures 6 and 7 is incorporated in the windings on theroller 19 to provide further protection for the portions of thestrands 16 which are to be masked from the perm solution while exposing the portions of thestrands 16 which are to be subjected to chemical action of the solution, this being possible because the portions of thestrands 16 to be permed are presented on the outside of the roller while the remaining portions of thestrands 16 are enveloped within thesheet 10 and insulated from the perm solution. - It will be appreciated that, since the
slit 12 extends in a direction transverse to the tear propagation of the material of thesheet 10, thesheet 10 will not readily tear at opposite ends of theslit 12. Therefore, the act of pulling thesheet 10 in opposite directions, as indicated by the arrows A and B in Figure 1, will not have the effect of tearing the material of thesheet 10. - It will also be appreciated that the presence of the
seam 15 provides additional security against tearing of the material of thesheet 10 beyond the opposite ends of the slit; provides a stiffening effect along a margin of theslit 12 which assists in threading strands ofhair 16 through theslit 12; and provides an indication of the location of theslit 12.
