Mobile heated hair conditioning device

Abstract

A hair heating device is presented, which provides a solution to the problem of allowing a person to move around while heat conditioning one's hair. The heating cap has a heating element embedded in the cap with a layer of heat distributing insulation between the heating element and the head of the user, and a pocket in the cap to hold a battery pack to power the heating element. Generally speaking, the components are configured as follows: the hair cap has the heating element internally attached between a first layer of fabric and a second layer of fabric. The battery pack is detachably connected through an inside pocket of the heating cap to the heating element. The heating cap provides an improved way to heat conditioning hair (which helps produce healthier and shinier hair) while utilizing the heat generated by the battery and allowing the user to move about freely.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for a heated hair conditioning cap comprising:
 a battery, wherein the battery is rechargeable and portable;   a cap body including a top layer coupled to a remainder of the cap body comprising an exterior layer that is secured to an interior layer, and an elastic band extending around a lower perimeter of the cap body, wherein the cap body comprises an internal cavity configured to receive a user's head,   wherein the cap body includes an internal pocket that is accessible from the interior layer, wherein the internal pocket is sized and arranged to secure the battery,   wherein the internal pocket is located between the exterior layer and the interior layer of the cap body,   wherein the cap body is sized and arranged to be worn over a user's hair on the user's head; and   a heating element configured to electrically connect to the battery to distribute heat through the heated hair conditioning cap.   
     
     
         2 . The heated hair conditioning cap of  claim 1 , wherein the heating element is contained between the exterior layer and the interior layer. 
     
     
         3 . The heated hair conditioning cap of  claim 1 , wherein the heating element has a protective outer layer. 
     
     
         4 . The heated hair conditioning cap of  claim 1 , wherein the heating element comprises a spiral shaped assembly of metal elements. 
     
     
         5 . The heated hair conditioning cap of  claim 1 , wherein the heated hair conditioning cap further comprises a protective waterproof layer over the exterior layer. 
     
     
         6 . The heated hair conditioning cap of  claim 1 , wherein the interior layer comprises satin or silk. 
     
     
         7 . The heated hair conditioning cap of  claim 1 , further comprising a power button to select heating options for the heated hair conditioning cap. 
     
     
         8 . The heated hair conditioning cap of  claim 1 , wherein the heating element is configured to provide at least three different heating levels. 
     
     
         9 . The heated hair conditioning cap of  claim 1 , wherein the heating element is a single unit having a cord that removably connects to an outlet on the battery, and wherein the cord of the heating element is located and accessible from the internal pocket 
     
     
         10 . A method of heating a head of a user using a heated hair conditioning cap, comprising:
 providing the heated hair conditioning cap, the heated hair conditioning cap comprising:
 a battery, wherein the battery is rechargeable and portable; 
 a cap body including an exterior layer that is secured to an interior layer, and an elastic band around a lower perimeter of the cap body, wherein the cap body comprises an internal cavity configured to receive a user's head, 
 wherein the cap body includes an internal pocket that is accessible from the interior layer, wherein the internal pocket is sized and arranged to secure the battery, 
 wherein the internal pocket is located between the exterior layer and the interior layer of the cap body, 
 wherein the cap body is sized and arranged to be worn over a user's hair on the user's head; and 
 a heating element configured to electrically connect to the battery; 
   charging the battery for a sufficient period of time;   after charging the battery for a sufficient period of time, connecting the battery through the internal pocket of the heated hair conditioning cap;   applying a deep conditioner for use with a deep conditioning treatment to the user's hair;   powering on the heated hair conditioning cap;   placing the heated hair conditioning cap on the user's head;   leaving the heated hair conditioning cap on for a desired amount of time up to a maximum heating time as provided by a necessary charge time of the battery;   powering off the heated hair conditioning cap and removing from the user's head;   disconnecting the battery and removing the battery from the internal pocket; and   recharging the battery for any future use of the heated air conditioning cap.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising, selecting a heating level on the heated hair conditioning cap, wherein the heating element is configured to provide at least three heating levels. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the at least three heating levels comprise low, medium, and high heat. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising, covering the user's hair with a shower cap prior to applying the deep conditioner. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein additional heat is provided from heat emitted from the battery through the heated hair conditioning cap to the user's hair and any deep conditioning treatment. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the heated hair conditioning cap provides between one to three hours of heating time with the battery. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the heated hair conditioning cap heats up to at least 155 degrees Fahrenheit. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein charging the battery and recharging the battery comprises connecting the battery to an electrical outlet with an electrical charging cord. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein a low level heat range comprises 105 degrees Fahrenheit to 121 degrees Fahrenheit.
