Apparatus and method for imprinting shaped images onto hair

A method for applying multiple images onto hair comprising the step of:

• applying a force to a wall of a container that holds a colored gel composition that forms the images to cause the composition to be discharged from an interior of the container into a first section of a custom shaped stencil, the first section having a custom shaped interior space that mirrors the shape of each image and defines a custom pattern, the stencil including a screen that is disposed across the custom shaped interior space, wherein the stencil includes a distal space that is located distal to an exposed outer surface of the screen,
• applying a first image of the custom pattern to the hair at a first location by continued application of the force to the container in proximity to the hair causing the gel composition to pass through the screen and completely fill the distal space before flowing onto the hair which results in the first image being formed on the hair;
• and
• applying a second image of the custom pattern to the hair at a second location different from the first location by application of force to the container in proximity to the hair causing the gel composition to pass through the screen and completely fill the distal space before flowing onto the hair which results in the second image being formed on the hair.
