Abstract
The applicator for applying a hair product comprises a base (12) and first group of fixed spikes (14) protruding relative to the base. The applicator further comprises a second group of spikes (16) separate from the spikes (14) of the first group and translatably movable relative to the base between at least one extended position protruding relative to said base on the side of the spikes (14) of the first group, and a retracted position.

Applicator for applying a hair product comprising a base (12), a first group of fixed spikes (14) protruding relative to the base, and a second group of spikes (16) separate from the spikes (14) of the first group and translatably movable relative to the base between at least one extended position protruding relative to said base on the side of the spikes (14) of the first group, and a retracted position, characterized in that the spikes (16) of the second group each internally delimit a product supply channel opening out by means of at least one outlet orifice, the applicator further comprising a reservoir (30) connected to said spikes (16) of the second group and internally delimiting at least one compartment (32) for storing said product in fluid communication with the supply channels of said spikes.
Method of applying to the hair a hairstyling composition comprising at least one fixing agent for shaping the hair with the aid of an applicator comprising a base (12), a first group of fixed spikes (14) protruding relative to the base, and a second group of spikes (16) separate from the spikes (14) of the first group and translatably movable relative to the base between at least one extended position protruding relative to said base on the side of the spikes (14) of the first group, and a retracted position, the method comprising:
- a step of loading the spikes (16) of the second group of the applicator with the hairstyling composition,
- a step of styling the hair by introducing the spikes (14) of the first group of the applicator into the head of hair and moving them, with the spikes (16) of the second group in the retracted position, and
- a step of transferring the hairstyling composition to the hair by extending the spikes (16) of the second group into the head of hair.
