UV hair protector

Abstract

A device intended for use in indoor tanning facilities that would block UV light from penetrating the hair shaft, thus preventing damage that would otherwise occur within the living fiber known as the hair as a result of UV radiation. This damage is characterized by: disruption of the moisture balance, altered cohesion system, distorted color, damage to the DNA structure, rough texture, and overall dull, unhealthy appearance of the hair.

1 . It is claimed that by wearing this protective cap, made of a tightly woven material placed over the hair (along the hairline), while using indoor tanning facilities, one will prevent irreversible damage to the hair that would normally occur as a result of UV light penetration.  
     
     
         2 . It is claimed that the use of a cap made of tightly woven material, along with proper placement and fitting of the cap (with the hair completely covered) will block and prevent UV light from penetrating the hair shaft rather than simply reducing the amount of exposure/damage to the living fiber, as proposed by other methods (spray on cosmetics).
