FIG. 6 , the function of thehair treatment apparatus 1 pertaining to the present embodiment will be described. - In order to carry out treatment of a tress of hair H (for example, head hair) by using the
hair treatment apparatus 1 pertaining to the present embodiment, theAC plug 12 is first connected to an outlet of the 100 VAC line to light up the power-onlight 17. Then, theultrasonic wave switch 15 is operated to light up the ultrasonicwave generation light 15 a for activating the ultrasonic wave generator unit 21; and theion switch 16 is operated to light up theion light 16 b for activating theion generator unit 22 and also light up the negativeion generation light 16 a for selecting the negative ion polarity. - In this state, the pair of
treatment grip pieces hair pressing portion 3 a and thehair receiving portion 4 a of thetreatment grip pieces treatment grip pieces - Thereby, as shown in
FIG. 6 , the desired amount of tress of hair H (for example, head hair) is sandwiched between thehair pressing portion 3 a and thehair receiving portion 4 a, while, as the pair oftreatment grip pieces operation switch 7 is turned on to start the respective operations of the ultrasonic wave generator unit 21 andion generator unit 22, the ultrasonic wave generator unit 21 causing thehair pressing portion 3 a incorporating the ultrasonic vibrator to apply ultrasonic vibrations to the sandwiched tress of hair H, and at the same time, theion generator unit 22 applying negative ions to the tress of hair H through thehair pressing portion 3 a. - At this time, the treatment operator moves the pair of
treatment grip pieces treatment grip pieces - By doing such operation, abundant softening of the tress of hair H resulting from the application of ultrasonic vibrations thereto, and improvement of the cuticle and cortex of the tress of hair H due to the negative ions being penetrated thereinto are progressed with no use of any head hair nutrient, whereby simple and proper treatment of the tress of hair H can be realized, and in a case where a permanent wave agent or straight permanent wave agent and/or an appropriate head hair nutrient are used for making hair treatment, the tress of hair can be simply and properly treated by subjecting it to an ultrasonic wave and/or negative ions for assuring good penetration of the permanent wave agent or straight permanent wave agent and/or the appropriate head hair nutrient into the tress of hair.
- Thus, with the
hair treatment apparatus 1 pertaining to the present embodiment, by appropriately operating theultrasonic wave switch 15 and theion switch 16, the tress of hair H can be subjected to both ultrasonic vibrations and negative ions at the same time, and either to only ultrasonic vibrations or negative ions, whereby hair treatment in various modes can be realized. - Examples of mode of treatment of a tress of hair H with the
hair treatment apparatus 1 pertaining to the present embodiment include straight, clinic, and curling modes, and in any mode, simple and proper treatment can be realized. - In addition, if a temperature adjustable heater unit (not shown) is loaded in the
hair treatment apparatus 1 pertaining to the present embodiment for heating a tress of hair H to a desired temperature while carrying out the treatment operation as described in the present embodiment, the proper treatment can be more effectively realized. - The hair treatment apparatus pertaining to the present invention is mainly applicable to the hair of a human body, however, is also applicable as a treatment apparatus for the hair of animals, such as dogs and cats.
