Method and device for the steam treatment of scalp hair

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the steam treatment of scalp hair, which hair was treated previously with an agent that contains ammonia. The treatment is carried out with a device with a steam hood such that at the start of the steam treatment ambient air in the neighborhood of a forehead region or an eye/nose region of the person is extracted automatically by a controllable extraction unit. This extraction unit is deactivated automatically after a preset time. In a more refined embodiment the ammonia emission within the steam hood is recorded continuously and measured as ammonia emission values and compared with a preset ammonia emission value, such that the extraction unit is deactivated automatically on reaching the preset ammonia emission value.

1 . A method for the steam treatment of scalp hair of a person with a device with a steam hood, wherein the scalp hair was treated previously with an agent that contains ammonia, wherein at the start of the steam treatment ambient air in the neighborhood of a forehead region or an eye/nose region of the person is extracted automatically by a controllable extraction unit, wherein the extraction unit is deactivated automatically after a preset time has elapsed.  
   
   
       2 . A method for the steam treatment of scalp hair of a person with a device with a steam hood, wherein the scalp hair was treated previously with an agent that contains ammonia, wherein the start of the steam treatment ambient air in the neighborhood of a forehead region or an eye/nose region of the person is extracted automatically by a controllable extraction unit and the ammonia emission within the steam hood is recorded continuously and measured as ammonia emission values and compared with a preset ammonia emission value, wherein on reaching the preset ammonia emission value the extraction unit is deactivated automatically.  
   
   
       3 . A device with a steam hood for the treatment of scalp hair of a person, wherein the scalp hair was treated previously with an agent that contains ammonia, wherein the device has a controllable extraction unit that extracts the ambient air in the neighborhood of forehead region or an eye/nose region of the person, wherein at the start of the steam treatment the extraction unit is activated by a control unit and deactivated after end of a preset time.  
   
   
       4 . A device according to  claim 3 , wherein the control unit is a time switch.  
   
   
       5 . A device with a steam hood for the steam treatment of the scalp hair of a person, wherein the scalp hair was treated previously with an agent that contains ammonia, wherein a sensor for the recording of ammonia emission values is arranged within the steam hood, wherein the sensor is connected with a measurement unit for the measurement of the ammonium emission values, wherein the measurement unit is connected with a control unit, wherein the device has an extraction unit which extracts ambient air in the neighborhood of a forehead region or an eye/nose region of the person, wherein the extraction unit is controllable by the control unit, wherein at the start of the steam treatment the extraction unit is activated automatically by the control unit, and wherein the extraction unit is deactivated automatically on convergence of a preset ammonia emission value with a recorded ammonia emission value.  
   
   
       6 . A device according to  claim 3  wherein the extraction unit is arranged to the inside or outside of the steam hood in such a way that an extraction of the ambient air in the neighborhood of a forehead region or an eye/nose region of the person takes place.  
   
   
       7 . A device according to  claim 5  wherein the extraction unit is arranged to the inside or outside of the steam hood in such a way that an extraction of the ambient air in the neighborhood of a forehead region or an eye/nose region of the person takes place.  
   
   
       8 . A device according to  claim 3 , wherein an electric fan is arranged in the extraction unit.  
   
   
       9 . A device according to  claim 5 , wherein an electric fan is arranged in the extraction unit.
