Frosting or tipping cap for varying intensity of treatment

Abstract

A hair frosting or tipping cap for accurately selecting a uniform distribution of particular locks of hair to be color treated (dye, bleach or tint) or any other treatment where a particular density of hair is desirable while shielding the remaining hair in order to achieve a desired intensity of hair to be treated. The device allows a person skilled or unskilled in the use of a frosting or tipping cap to achieve selective variable intensity of hair to be treated. The cap includes a plurality of hair receiving, puncturable areas forming apertures uniformly spaced about the cap surface and two or more indicia means such as color coding which are affixed in proximal relationship to particular apertures in preconceived patterns whereby the indicia means provide readily visible information to direct the user to select particular apertures through which locks of hairs are pulled out to achieve a particular desired level of intensity of color. Utilizing the color code indicia, for example, one particular color indicium could indicate light color for bleaching and only particular (predetermined) apertures having that color code would be utilized. The resilient cap body protects the unexposed hairs underneath the cap body from the bleach as does those apertures not in use. Greater frosting intensities can be achieved by selecting a different color code which is disposed next to a greater number of apertures or for lesser intensity by selecting a color code which is in proximal relationship to a lesser number of apertures, the color code scheme being uniformly applied to obtain a uniform aperture distribution.
