The invention relates to a number of different devices that are useful in selectively altering hair color by the application of hair color altering liquids to selected portions of the hair of men and women. These include applicators that are adapted for use with, or are actually used with, squeeze bottles to hold the hair color altering liquids such as bleaches, tints, toners and the like, combs with absorbent jackets to hold such liquids by absorption and to yield them up to the hair as the comb is passed through it, and clamps to control the length of the hair to which liquids are applied by these or other methods of application. The applicators comprise an elongated, slender, preferably frusto-conical parting tools molded integrally to a closure cap that may be screwed or otherwise removably secured to the bottle and spreading means such as rollers, spatulas, brushes, sponges, fibers such as cotton batting, balls, transversely broadened smooth integrally molded spreaders intermediate in height between the cap and the free end of the parting means and spaced therefrom so as not to interfere with its use as a parting tool. The clamps comprise a pair of bars recessed on the facing surfaces with recesses for tresses, hinged at one end and removably locked together at the other and with a sheet of rubber or plastic secured to one of the bars to protect underlying hair and scalp from contact with the liquid that is spread into the hair below the clamp. A second clamp may be used at the outer end of new growth, if desired.
A device for use in selectively altering hair color comprising closure means adapted to be removably secured to a squeeze bottle to close an open end thereof, an elongated slender hair parting means secured at its base to and extending upwardly from said closure means having a frustoconical tip at the upper end with a rounded smooth end adapted to penetrate and part the hair, a liquid passageway through said device having a discharge orifice in the surface of said device adapted to deliver liquid from a squeeze bottle when said device is secured thereto, and liquid spreading means on said device having a transversely extending spreading surface spaced from and at an intermediate position between the base and upper end of said hair parting means for spreading liquid into hair after discharge from said orifice without preventing use of said parting means to part the hair.
A device for use in altering hair color selectively comprising a squeeze bottle adapted to hold a liquid capable of altering hair color, an elongated slender hair parting means having a base and a frustoconical tip at the upper end with a rounded smooth end adapted to penetrate and part the hair, means for securing said base to said bottle in liquid tight relation, a liquid passage in said device extending into said parting means adapted to convay liquid from the bottle to a discharge orifice on said device and means secured to said device having a transversely extending spreading surface spaced from and at an intermediate position between the base and upper end of said hair parting means for spreading liquid on the hair upon discharge through said orifice without interfering with the use of said parting means to part the hair.
A device for selectively altering hair color comprising a squeeze bottle having a filling opening;
A device for selectively altering hair color comprising means adapted to be removably secured in liquid tight relation to a squeeze bottle comprising a collar and a closure member secured thereto at the upper edge thereof;
