Traditional hair colorant application relies heavily on manual techniques, leading to significant variability in coverage and processing time. Studies show application inconsistencies can result in up to 30% variation in color saturation across different sections of hair, while exposure time differences of just 2-3 minutes can alter final color outcomes by several shade levels.

The fundamental challenge lies in achieving uniform dye distribution and precise timing control while maintaining scalp safety and optimizing colorant penetration into the hair shaft.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including infrared-assisted application systems, automated temperature and pH control mechanisms, microcurrent-enhanced dye delivery, and precision multi-nozzle distribution technologies. These and other approaches focus on improving application consistency while reducing processing time and minimizing skin contact with chemical agents.

A hair dye mixing device that allows partial and complete coloration of hair. The device mixes and dispenses separate first and second dyes to color hair. It has containers for the dyes, a pump, and a mixing chamber. The dyes are loaded into separate containers that connect to a common extrusion conduit. Pushing a key activates the pump to extrude the dyes through the conduit into the mixing chamber. There they mix further and are discharged onto the hairbrush. This ensures thorough mixing and extrusion of both dyes for complete coloring. But the discharge amount can be adjusted to enable partial staining. The containers can be swapped to change the dye colors.

16. Rotating Drum Hair Dyeing Apparatus with Hook-Suspended Buckets and Fixed Position Dyeing Station
