Ceramic and tourmaline hair appliances

Abstract

A coating mixture is applied to a hair appliance such as a styling iron, a dryer, or a roller by being mixed with a paint or by other known deposition means, and includes a ceramic component and a tourmaline component. Preferably, the ceramic component contains one or more of Silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, Ferrous oxide, Natrium oxide, potassium oxide, Titanium oxide, Calcium oxide, and magnesium oxide. The tourmaline component comprises crushed tourmaline particles of a size and concentration generally known in the art. By applying both components, preferably in the form of a mixed paint, a surface on an appliance or accessory that is adapted to receive heat will emit ions and, due to the known characteristics of both ceramic and tourmaline, will retain and distribute heat efficiently and evenly.

1 ) A hair appliance comprising 
 a heating surface; and    a coating applied to said heating surface, said coating comprising 
 a ceramic component; and  
 a tourmaline component.  
   
   
   
       2 ) A hair appliance according to  claim 1 , wherein 
 said ceramic component comprises one or more substances selected from the following: silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, ferrous oxide, natrium oxide, potassium oxide, titanium oxide, calcium oxide, and magnesium oxide.    
   
   
       3 ) A hair appliance according to  claim 2 , wherein 
 said tourmaline component comprises crushed tourmaline particles.    
   
   
       4 ) A coating for a heating surface on a hair appliance, said coating comprising 
 a ceramic component; and    a tourmaline component.    
   
   
       5 ) A hair appliance according to  claim 4 , wherein 
 said ceramic component comprises one or more substances selected from the following: silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, ferrous oxide, natrium oxide, potassium oxide, titanium oxide, calcium oxide, and magnesium oxide.    
   
   
       6 ) A hair appliance according to  claim 5 , wherein 
 said tourmaline component comprises crushed tourmaline particles.
