Abstract:

A hair coloring cap, for use in selectively changing the color of multiple strands of hair on a head of a user, includes a support frame for supporting a plurality of strut members in a spaced apart positions around the head of the user. Each of a plurality of wing members are attached to one of the plurality of strut members and extends therefrom to a length approximately that of the multiple strands of hair to be colored. The cap is positioned on the head and multiple strands of hair are pulled between the strut members so that the hair is positioned on an upper surface of each of the plurality of wing members. A coloring agent is applied to the upper surface of each of the plurality of wing members, such that the coloring agent functionally coats each of the multiple strands of hair to be colored. Each of the plurality of wing members is then folded, thereby trapping the hair and the coloring agent.

Abstract:

Apparatus for hairdressers to use in coloring multiple, localized and isolated strands of hair, called highlighting. The task is made easier and the product better by making dozens of parts in the hair, extracting a few locks or strands along the length of each part, storing these selected strands between sheets of plastic film, and only then applying the color-imparting chemicals. The structure of the cap, by design, makes this procedure easy and straightforward for the first time.
