Abstract
This applicator applies a hair treating material to the surface of less than all of an individual's hair. The applicator comprises a material supply container and a dispenser including a comb structure having a plurality of teeth pairs in which some of the pairs have shallow roots therebetween and some have deep roots. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, passages are provided in the dispensing comb structure to deliver the treating material through at least some of the shallow roots in order to apply the material to less than all of the hair of the individual.
