Low-thermal acoustic detangling and active delivery device for type 3-4 hair
An innovative hair care device designed for Type 3-4 hair that combines micro-vibration, low-friction tines, and optional low-warm airflow. It aims to reduce damage and improve styling while minimizing heat exposure and scalp discomfort.
Overview
This low-thermal device offers a novel solution for managing Type 3-4 hair, known for its vulnerability to breakage and damage. By integrating controlled micro-vibration and flexible tine geometry, the device reduces tensile stress and cuticle damage. It provides an effective method for detangling, curl definition, and smoothing without the need for high-heat tools. Additionally, the optional low-warm airflow and precision active delivery system enhance product distribution and scalp access, supporting protective styling and curl maintenance.
Technical specifications
Key features:
- Controlled micro-vibration or acoustic assistance to minimize pulling force
- Low-friction flexible tine geometry for reduced fiber-to-fiber friction
- Pressure-limiting mechanics to prevent scalp discomfort
- Optional low-warm airflow for conditioning and improved product distribution
- Precision mist or active delivery system for enhanced scalp access and care
Technology readiness level
Currently at TRL 2, the concept has been defined with specific use cases for Type 3-4 hair. Future plans include developing a proof-of-concept prototype and validating its effectiveness on hair swatches and mannequins. Further refinement will focus on safety, manufacturability, and regulatory considerations, with the aim of launching in salons.
