Effects of Far Infrared Ray on Hair and ScalpJRS SUPERSTARS’ Far Infrared Ray (FIR) hair irons & dryers provide healthy heating to preserve moisture in the hair and revitalize the scalp. FIR penetrates to the center of hair and heats the hair inside out allowing for faster drying. At the same time, FIR invigorates the scalp,
increases blood flow, improves hair texture and stimulates new hair growth.
What is Far Infrared Ray?Light, as we understand today, is composed of an infinite number of colors that can be
separated by passing it through a simple prism. The great scientist James Maxwell
discovered that light, in fact, was in the form of waves (or radiation or “ray”) and that
each color of light has a unique “signature” called a wavelength which determines its
appearance or color. However, the human eye is limited in that it can only see a certain
range of colors and not the entire spectrum of wavelengths. Although the invisible
portions of the light range may seem irrelevant; they exist and play an important role in
the way we exist today as inhabitants on earth.
JRS SUPERSTAR has in fact managed to harness this invisible portion of light to revolutionize the hair care industry with advanced styling tools.
JRS SUPERSTAR has taken an invisible portion of the light spectrum (Far Infrared Ray) and used its inherent properties to the benefit of human health and beauty. Infrared rays are in the invisible part of the electromagnetic spectrum below the color red in the visible light range. The infrared portion is further divided into three segments: Near Infrared segments have wavelengths of 0.76 to 1.5 microns; Middle Infrared is 1.5 to 5.6 microns; and Far Infrared is 5.6 to 1000 microns. The Infrared waves from the sun provide the most energy that warms the earth. For human cells, the most beneficial rays in the infrared band are these in the Far Infrared Ray (FIR) range. Electromagnetic spectrum consists of visible and invisible rays. Infrared ray can be further divided into Near, Middle and Far ranges.
To help illustrate the differences between FIR and regular heat (Near and Middle Infrared
Rays), provided are some examples where FIR proves to be beneficial in JRS SUPERSTAR styling tools:
Why does room temperature feel much warmer in the summer as opposed to room temperature in the winter?
During summer, one may feel warm and wear a t-shirt in a room that is 18 C. In winter, the same room could still be 18 C, but one may feel cold and likely to be wearing a sweater. The reason for this is that during the summer, the earth is tilted on its axis such that a greater amount of FIR from the sun is absorbed into the walls and furniture. FIR is regenerated out from the wall and furniture to penetrate our skin to make us feel warmer. Where as, in the winter, there is less FIR from the sun to be absorbed by a room’s surroundings, thereby, producing colder-like ambient settings.
When I stand in the sun as opposed to standing in the shade, why do I feel much warmer?Standing outside directly in the sun, one would feel warm. Stepping into a shaded area just a few feet away one would immediately feel much cooler. The actual air temperature of the two locations will be similar,
although not enough difference to account for the large temperature shift just experienced. The difference is due to having FIR not being able to warm the body directly while standing in the shade.
Why do I get burned from heating elements or steam but not Far Infrared sources?While boiling a pot of water, one can feel the heat energy. The steam is in the Near and Middle Infrared Ray wavelength which is not enough to heat the internal organs but enough to burn the skin. However, the longer waver lengths of Far Infrared Rays from the sun contain penetrating rays to heat through our skin and to our organs. Far Infrared Rays from the sun does not burn our skin; it is the shorter wavelengths such as Ultra Violet Rays that are damaging.
Benefits of FIR in HairConventional styling tools provide infrared waves in the Near and Middle segments.
These infrared rays have wavelengths that are not sufficient to penetrate hair or the scalp
for healthy styling. Because of non-penetration, these shorter infrared rays heat the air
surrounding the hair and conduct the hot air to the surface of the hair. The hair is heated
by means of conduction from the surface which causes frizzy, dry and damaged hair.
Convention Heating thru Conduction FIR Heating thru JRS SUPERSTARS’ styling tools uses the longer wavelength from FIR technology to generate deep penetrating heat. This penetrates directly into the cortex of hair cuticles, heating from the inside out. It creates an effect that relaxes and softens hair. The hair is heated evenly, giving a gentle drying process in half the time thereby reducing heat exposure. Water molecules on the surface of the hair break apart into smaller droplets and get absorbed into the hair. Moisture is then locked within the cuticles to give a protective barrier to reduce chemical and bacteria build-up. Conventional dryers leave the cuticles dry and frizzy. FIR leaves the hair soft, smooth. and shiny. Maximum light refraction!
Benefits of FIR in the scalpSmall blood vessels in the scalp supply cells with essential nutrients and oxygen and
carry away waste products. When the scalp lacks a supply of nutrients and oxygen,
toxins build up that can lead to unhealthy hair, dry scalp and reduced follicles. Some of
these toxins include carcinogenic heavy metals and poisons from food processing, lactic
acid, free fatty acids, uric acids and subcutaneous fat associated with aging and fatigue.
Toxins are encapsulated by water and blood that are trapped throughout the body,
including the scalp. Where the toxins have accumulated, blood circulation is blocked and
cellular energy is impaired. However, when FIR penetrates the scalp, they stimulate
micro vibrations that cause a thermal reaction that elevates tissue temperatures. The
energy from FIR vibrates the water molecules and reduces the ionic bond between
water/blood and toxins. As water breaks down, the encapsulated toxins are released.
Because of the thermal energy, the scalp reacts by dilating all the blood vessels providing
improved circulation to carry the toxins away. Improved circulation delivers nutrients
and oxygen rich blood cells to revitalize tissues therefore leading to rejuvenated scalp to
reduce dandruff; maintain healthy follicles to prevent hair loss, and healthy hair.
1. Toxins encapsulated in blood and water molecules
2. FIR breaking down toxins from molecules
3. Toxins are release and removed
Some scientific studies have suggested that hair loss may be caused by fewer blood vessels. In most cases, the follicles have not disappeared entirely; they have simply
become just miniature follicles. In research lead by Michael Detmar of Massachusetts
General Hospital Dermatology, he succeeded in growing hair faster and thicker in mice
by promoting blood vessel growth in their skin. FIR dilates blood vessels and removes
toxins that help in promoting blood vessel growth providing oxygen and nutrients to
enhance follicle growth.
Why FIR has these benefitsAll molecules vibrate at a certain frequency. Cells in our body absorb the most energy
when the heat source has the same intrinsic vibration frequency as the cells themselves.
Only FIR has a specific frequency with 8-14 microns wavelength that allows it to
penetrate the skin and energize the cells. This range, sometimes called “Vital Rays”, has
special regenerative effects on the body.
Is FIR Safe?Far Infrared Ray is safe and healthy for the human body. Any excessive exposure passes
through the cell without any adverse effects. One can be exposed to FIR heat for hours
and it will not cause burns to the skin. In fact, hospitals use it to warm newborn infants.
In summary, JRS SUPERSTAR Far Infrared irons & hair dryers not only dry the hair faster, but also activate vital functions to maintain healthy hair and scalp. The use of FIR’s penetrating ray reduce frizz, make the hair soft, shiny and retain moisture.
