Abstract
An implement for treating strands of hair comprising a reservoir containing a composition and guide means capable of sliding in the reservoir. The guide means comprises a body extending through the reservoir, pulling means (e.g. a pull strip) protruding from one end of the reservoir for at least partially pulling the guide means out of the reservoir and attaching means (e.g. a hook) protruding from another end of the reservoir for attaching the strands of hair to said guide means. When the guide means is pulled out of the reservoir, the strands of hair to be treated are pulled in the reservoir through the first opening, and are treated by the composition therein. The implement is preferably ready-to-use.
Claims14
An implement for treating selected strands of hair with a composition, said implement comprising:
- a) a reservoir comprising a first opening and a second opening and containing a composition capable of treating hair, the reservoir comprising an elongated tubular shape having a longitudinal axis and formed of a material sufficient to retain the elongated tubular shape during use:
- b) guide means capable of sliding in said reservoir, wherein said guide means comprises:
- (i) a body extending from said first opening to said second opening through the reservoir;
- (ii) pulling means protruding from said second opening for pulling said guide means at least partially out of the reservoir through said second opening;
- (iii) rigid attaching means protruding from the first opening for attaching the selected strands of hair to said guide means so that when said guide means is pulled out of the reservoir through said second opening the strands of hair are pulled in the reservoir through said first opening.
An implement for treating selected strands of hair with a composition, said implement comprising:
- a) a reservoir comprising a first opening and a second opening and containing a composition capable of treating hair;
- b) guide means capable of sliding in said reservoir, wherein said guide means comprises:
- i) a body extending from said first opening to said second opening through the reservoir;
- ii) pulling means protruding from said second opening for pulling said guide means at least partially out of the reservoir through said second opening;
- iii) attaching means protruding from the first opening for attaching the selected strands of hair to said guide means so that when said guide means is pulled out of the reservoir through said second opening the strands of hair are pulled in the reservoir through said first opening;
- and
- wherein said body of said guide means divides said reservoir into two regions, wherein said first region contains a first composition and said second region contains a second composition to form a hair treating composition and wherein when said body is pulled through said second opening said first and second compositions are brought into contact.
