Enhanced Hair Color Toning Compositions and Methods
Legal Citation
Summary of the Inventive Concept
The present disclosure relates to improved hair color toning compositions and methods that provide enhanced color deposit, stability, and customization options, addressing the limitations of existing hair color toning technologies.
Background and Problem Solved
The original patent disclosed hair color toning compositions comprising amino acids, carboxylic acids, and surfactants. However, these compositions had limitations in terms of stability, bioavailability, and customization options. The present inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing micro-encapsulated amino acid delivery systems, low-level laser or LED therapy, and customizable formulation and dispensing systems.
Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept
The enhanced hair color toning composition comprises a micro-encapsulated amino acid delivery system, which enhances the stability and bioavailability of the amino acid. The micro-encapsulation can be achieved using a combination of liposomes and nanoparticles. The composition can be applied to the hair, followed by low-level laser or LED therapy to enhance the color deposit. Additionally, the present inventive concept includes a system for customizing hair color and tone, comprising a database of hair color and tone preferences, a formulation module for generating a customized hair color toning composition, and a dispensing module for dispensing the customized composition.
Novelty and Inventive Step
The present inventive concept introduces the novel combination of micro-encapsulated amino acid delivery systems, low-level laser or LED therapy, and customizable formulation and dispensing systems, which provides a significant improvement over the original patent. The use of micro-encapsulation and low-level laser or LED therapy enhances the stability and bioavailability of the amino acid, while the customizable system provides a new level of personalization and flexibility in hair color toning.
Alternative Embodiments and Variations
Alternative embodiments of the present inventive concept include the use of different types of micro-encapsulation, such as nano-emulsions or micro-spheres, and different wavelengths of low-level laser or LED therapy. Additionally, the customizable system can be integrated with artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to provide more accurate and personalized hair color toning recommendations.
Potential Commercial Applications and Market
The present inventive concept has significant commercial potential in the hair care industry, particularly in the areas of professional hair coloring and at-home hair coloring kits. The customizable system can be marketed as a premium offering, providing a unique selling proposition for hair care companies. Additionally, the present inventive concept can be licensed to companies specializing in hair care products and services.
