Hair roller apparatus and method for highlighting hair

A hair roller apparatus comprising:

• an elongated roller stem having first and second opposing ends;
• a first end flange mounted to said first end of said elongated roller stem;
• an elongated cap member removably and rotatably mounted to said elongated roller stem in covering relation to said elongated roller stem;
• wherein said elongated cap member includes an elongated cap body having first and second ends, and a first end wall mounted to said first end of said elongated cap body;
• wherein said first end wall of said elongated cap member includes an engagement portion;
• wherein said first end flange includes an engagement portion which is selectively and disengageably securable to said engagement portion of said first end wall;
• wherein a flexible protective sheet is provided and has first and second ends;
• wherein a first engagement member is provided adjacent said first end of said flexible protective sheet;
• wherein a second engagement member, engageable with said first engagement member, is provided on an outer surface of said elongated cap body;
• and
• wherein a slit is formed through said flexible protective sheet at a position between said first engagement member and said second end of said flexible protective sheet.

• wherein hook members are fixed to and project outwardly from said elongated cap body;
• and
• wherein a rod member is selectively engageable in said hook members and is adapted to have an end of an aluminum foil sheet engaged thereabout.

A method of highlighting hair comprising the steps of:

• separating a section of hair into first and second parts;
• rolling said first part of said section of hair onto an elongated roller stem of a hair roller apparatus and holding said elongated roller stem adjacent the scalp;.
• mounting an elongated cap member onto said elongated roller stem so that said elongated roller stem is rotatable relative to said elongated cap member and so as to cover the first part of said section of hair;
• fixing said elongated cap member against rotation relative to said elongated roller stem so as to prevent the first part of said section of hair from unrolling from said elongated roller stem;
• feeding said second part of said section of hair through a slit formed in a flexible protective sheet;
• securing said flexible protective sheet to said elongated cap member;
• repeating said steps of separating, rolling, mounting, fixing feeding and securing a desired number of times for different sections of hair, respectively;
• after said steps of separating, rolling, mounting, fixing, feeding and securing have been repeated said desired number of times, chemically treating each of said second parts of said sections of hair which have been fed through said slits in said flexible protective sheets, respectively;
• and
• wherein in each of said fixing steps, said elongated cap member is fixed against rotation relative to said elongated roller stem by inserting a pin member through a pair of mutually aligned holes respectively formed in an end wall of said elongated cap member and in an end flange of said elongated roller stem.
