BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
More than in many other professions, educational instructions within the hairdresser profession involve significant problems associated with learning and practical exercises, inter alia, because hitherto there have to a large extent been employed test persons having suitable hair for demonstration of the various techniques and methods. Moreover, there have been used model scalps or coated heads which, however, are comparatively expensive and bulky. Therefore, these do not lend themselves to storage in order to show earlier works or demonstrations therewith. This in particular applies to cutting demonstrations. For the above reasons it is not possible at a highschool to possess a sufficient number of the known model scalps to be able to show the various cutting styles or shapes. Another drawback therewith is that the model scalps are heavy to transport and cumbersome to store.
There have been set forth proposals for methods or aids which in part seek to satisfy the same need as the present invention, for example an inflateable pattern head as described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,975,534 or a system of marked adhesive tabs or paper sheets as described in Published British Patent Application No. 2,077,097. However, none of these earlier proposals have been able to make possible the form of instruction and demonstration which is associated with the present invention, and, besides, have the drawback of being comparatively complicated in practical use.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention should, inter alia, be considered in the light of the cutting terminology or so-called hair sculpturing which has been applied within the hairdresser profession during recent years. By means of this invention it is possible in a simple manner to explain and demonstrate these new methods and concepts to hairdresser pupils.
This is made possible with an aid to be used in education within the hairdresser profession.
With the aid according to the invention an instructor in a class room or a conference hall or the like may cut many different hair styles, and afterwards the pupils themselves may do exercises with the same aids and thereby obtain the necessary confidence. Further, the invention permits the display of various objects in the form of cutting shapes, etc. by means of an overhead projector, as movable hair which is incorporated in the aid, may be manipulated in various directions and angles. Therefore, it will not be difficult for the pupils to evaluate the cutting being demonstrated.
The advanced cutting system being introduced during recent years in connection with the above new terminology makes it possible to carry out cutting very systematically. By means of the present invention this form of cutting may be learned and practiced in a much better way than with the previously known educational aids. The present aid makes it possible to cut many different styles in an educational situation and thereby obtain good technique and confidence without incurring high expenses with respect to equipment and aids. The works or exercises made and being finished, may be stored in a simple manner because they take little space. After cutting it is also possible to perform colour changes and texture conversion and obtain a complete hair style if this is desired, by means of the aid according to the invention.
Additional advantages obtained with the invention include good understanding on part of the pupils and easy checking of learning.
