Abstract

A coloring package made from a moldable/flexable material such as aluminum foil to be used by hairstylists for a process known to the hairdressing industry as highlighting.
Highlighting is a service offered by hairstylists to their clientelle wherein selected strands of hair are chemically treated with a color formulation or bleach mixture and kept separate from the remaining hair that the hairstylist chooses not to be chemically treated.
This coloring package is comprised of a rectangular shaped sheet that attached to the hair by a securing means or adhesive strip that is situated at the uppermost edge of the sheet located around the perimeter of the coloring sheet are appendages that fold over the origional sheet to eliminate color leakage. Also by varying the size of these appendages they can act as color dividers allowing for more than one chemical formulation to be used within the same coloring package which as up to now has not yet been possible with existing industry aids known of or proposed here to fore.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention is intended for the use of hairstylists for a process known as highlighting commonly performed in the hairdressing industry.
3 D~- ~ ~

THE HIGHLIGHT PAPER
To date the highlight papers have consistently been rectangular in shape and are comprised of a flexible material. Materials that are commonly used are aluminum foil, plastic, Styrofoam and paper. In all of these cases they are placed underneath the selected strand of hair parallel to the head. After which the hair is painted with a color formulation and the highlight paper is then folded in half upwards from the bottom to meet the top edge in order to isolate the color treated hair. Now the paper hangs from the head and will be left alone until the processing time has been completed. A multitude of papers can be used on one head of hair depending on how many different colors the client wishes to have, how much of their hair the they want colored or how creative the stylist choses to be. All of the above mentioned papers are limited to contain only one color formulation per sheet. The addition of another color requires the use of extra papers. For example, if a head of hair was to be highlighted both blonde and red, there would be a need for twice the amount of papers. Moreover if a head was to be highlighted three different colors (i.e. blonde, red, and brown) three times the amount of papers would be required.
Obstacles can arise when an abundance of papers are used on the head of hair to create a multicolored effect. An example of this is when a head of hair is highlighted with two or more colors, it can end up being so densely covered with papers that the hairstylist can easily lose track of which color formulation is on each paper. Keeping track of the color being used is critical to the end result. Without an awareness of where each color formulation resides on the head it is very likely that the color could be lumped together and look unbalanced or uneven wherein an undesired appearance would be the result. Correcting such an unsatisfactory result is inconvenient and time consuming, not to mention that the correction would be damaging to the client's hair. Also it is difficult to stay in clean even sections when there are stacks of paper surrounding every attempted section of hair. It is very easy to lose one's place and miss section or to flatten a paper causing leakageor pull one loose trying to manoeuvre the next highlight paper in place as close to the hair's root as possible while painting the color formula on the paper holding the section of hair. If a paper is flattened out and the color is leaked out, or a paper gets pulled loose, usually the escaped color formula will color any hair that it comes in contact with leaving bands or spots of color in its path. Correcting these spots and/or color is simple but time consuming and can be a nuisance.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
I have found that these obstacles can be overcome by adding appendages to the body of a rectangular shaped paper. These appendages vary in size depending on which purpose they are intended to serve. For example when a head of hair is being highlighted with two or more different color formulations (i.e. brown, blonde, and/or red) the appendages would be large enough to cover the entire area of the rectangular shaped sheet so as to act as a color divider protecting the original rectangular shaped sheet and the hair it contains from the second color formulation that will be applied to a new section of hair which will be painted on the backside of the first color divider. In the case that a third color formulation will be used, another appendage large enough to cover and contain the newly formed combination of the original rectangular shaped sheet, the first color divider and the locks of color treated hair inbetween would be folded over the sheet and the third color formulation would then be painted on the backside of the second color divider. In order to protect this third color formula a third appendage is required to fold over the newly painted third section of hair. The third appendage must be large enough to cover the entire area of these previous steps, but it is to be slightly larger so it can then fold over the edge to form a completely enclosed package.
This enclosed package itself eliminated the need for an additional two papers.
In such cases as two different color formulations will be used to highlight a head of hair one of the three appendages would not be used as a color divider but as a leak guard. The step by step process would be the same. First a section of hair would be colored on the original rectangular shaped sheet. Next the first appendage would fold over the sheet and a second color formula would be painted onto the backside of the color divider. Then a second appendage would fold over and around the first color divider to isolate the color treated hair.
Afterwhich the third appendage that equals only a fraction in the size of the other two appendages folds over the previous two, acting as a leak guard, in order to encapsulate the two separate locks of hair being colored by two different color formulations.
This second package is completely enclosed and has eliminated the need for an additional paper in this two color process.

~o~ 18 Thirdly in such case as only one color formulation will be used to highlight a head of hair the appendages will be smaller in size due to their only purpose being to act as a leak guard. Also in this case there is only need for two appendages.
Regarding a single color being used to highlight a head of hair the original rectangular shaped sheet will be larger in size due to after the color formula is applied to the strands of hair on this sheet, the sheet will then fold up from the bottom to meet the top edge just like traditional highlight papers two appendages located at either side of the coloring sheet will fold over the sandwiched sheet in order to create a completely enclosed package that is safe from the possibilities of leakage.

Obtain a section of hair (21 ) for the purpose of chemical treatment. Attach sheet ( 1 ) by means of the adhesive strip ( 12) to the base of the chosen section as close to the root as possible. When the sheet is secure to the hair administer the color formulation to the hair. Using Figure 1 fold up the sheet at center fold line (3) joining the lower most perimeter edge ( 13) with the highest point perimeter edge ( 14). Note that the left and right perimeters (4 & 8) of the secondary body (2) lie exactly on top of the left and right vertical fold lines (5 & 9)of the primary body. At this point fold the left and right appendages (6 & 10) by means of the left and right vertical fold lines (5 & 9) over primary ( 1 ) and secondary body (2) combination. The colored hair is now securely encapsulated in the coloring package (20) without any worries of color leakage.
Obtain a section of hair (21 ) for the purpose of chemical treatment. Attach sheet ( 1 ) by means of the adhesive strip ( 12) to the base of the chosen section as close to the root as possible. When the sheet is secure to the hair administer the color formulation to the hair. Using Figure 2 fold the right appendage ( 10) over the primary body ( 1 ) by means of the right vertical fold line (9) to join together the right appendage ( 11 ) perimeter edge and the left vertical fold line (5). Next retain another section of hair (21) and let it lie against the backside of the right appendage (10) that was previously folded over the first section of chemically treated hair and apply the second color formula. At this time fold the left appendage (6) over the backside of the right appendage ( 10) which now holds the second section of colored hair by means of the left vertical fold line (5) so that the left vertical appendage fold line ( 15) is in line with the right vertical fold line (9) which itself folds over the edge of the right vertical fold line (9) to secure the left appendage (6).
Next the lower appendage (2) will fold up over the right appendage (10) by means of the lower fold line (3) extended securely containing the two separate sections of hair colored with two different color formulations inside of the coloring package (21 ).

G~ ( ~ CA 02229606 1998-04-27 Obtain a section of hair (21 ) for the purpose of chemical treatment. Attach sheet (1 ) by means of the adhesive strip ( 12) to the base of the chosen section as close to the root as possible. When the sheet is secure to the hair administer the color formulation to the hair. Using Figure 3 fold up the lower appendage (2) by means of the lower appendage fold line (3) joining the lower most perimeter edge (13) with the highest point perimeter edge ( 14). The left and right perimeter edges (8) of the lower appendage are in line with the left (5)and right (9) vertical fold lines of the primary body (1). The next step is to obtain a second section of hair and lie it on the backside of the lower appendage (2) that was previously folded over the original section of colored hair. Apply the second color formulation to the newly obtained second section of hair.
In order to securely contain this second section of hair fold the right appendage ( 10) over the side of the lower appendage (2) by means of the right vertical fold line (9) so that the right appendage perimeter edge ( 11 ) is in line with the left perimeter edge (4) of the lower appendage. Next obtain a third section of hair and lie it on the backside of the right appendage ( 10) that had previously been folded over the second section of colored hair. Apply the third color formulation to the third section of hair. In order to contain this newly colored third section of hair fold the left appendage (6) over top of the right appendage (10) where the third section of colored hair resides by means of the left vertical fold line (5).
At this time the left vertical appendage fold line (15) will meet and fold over the edge of the right vertical fold line (9) so that the left appendage perimeter edge (7) lies on the backside of the primary body ( 1 ). In order to secure this last section of hair the lower perimeter edge ( 17) will fold down underneath the coloring package (20) by means of the lower fold line of left appendage ( 16) extended so that the lower perimeter of the left appendage ( 17) lies on the backside of the primary body ( 1 ). This coloring package (20) will securely contain all three sections of hair colored by three different color formulations and will eliminate the possibility of leakage.

SLJ~~IMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention allows for a new creativity in efficient hair coloring.With the described varying size and placement of said appendages the operator of this new highlight paper can work up to three different color formulations on three separate sections of hair.
This would give the hairstylist using the device a clear, concise placement of color rather than trying to keep track of dozens of papers remembering where each color resides. One could adapt a simple system of color system number one on the top layer, Color two in the middle layer and color three on the bottom layer. Also these appendages would provide the hairstylist with a leakage guard when folded around the edges of the coloring package. The safe and leakage free coloring that this package would provide along with the reduced number of papers needed on a multicolored head of hair is a much needed asset to the hairstyling industry. The invention would allow hairstylists to become more time efficient and organized in their work. All of these factors can affect the price and outcome of a hairstylist's end result. Any device that provide such benefit would surely become an asset in this competitive industry.
