Abstract
The purpose of the invention is to be used as a highlighting paper in the hairdressing industry. Highlighting papers are used by hairdressers for a process known as highlighting wherein strands of hair are coloured with a colour formulation and kept divided from the uncoloured hair by these highlighting papers.
The most popular material used for highlighting is aluminum foil. Aluminum foil is a great insulator of heat however the foil is very heavy and tends to drag and pull away from the hair causing demarcation lines in the hair moreover aluminum foil is not reusable so that every time a head of hair is finished being highlighted all of the dozens of papers are thrown away and over the duration of many processes this can add up to hundreds and hundreds of papers each week.
The invention will eliminate these two problems while allowing for all of the positive properties of aluminum foil.
The invention is a material comprised of a thin sheet of aluminum foil being laminated with a poly substance being either polyurethane, polyester or polypropylene.
These three substances are all substantially lighter than aluminum foil since only a small amount of aluminum foil is needed to maintain the heat retaining qualities of the foil so when laminated with one of the poly substances the papers become noticeably lighter than aluminum foil thus, the invention will not weigh down on or drag down on the hair causing lines of demarcation like the foil.
The invention is reusable unlike foil because the three poly substances when laminated with aluminum foil can be rinsed and wiped clean of any colour formula and used again, this factor would eliminate an uncountable amount of waste produced by each stylist in a salon and save a lot of money for the salon and it's hairstylists.

Description
Field of the Invention The invention is a material that will be used by hairstylists for a process known as highlighting which is a commonly performed process by hairstylists in the hairdressing industry.
The Hi~hli -hg t Paper Highlighting papers consist of a flexible material such as aluminum foil, Styrofoam, plastic, waxpaper and paper. These materials are all then cut into rectangles and used as highlighting papers. Aluminum foil has always been the most widely used highlighting paper by far. Because of the heavy weight of the aluminum foil the above mentioned papers were introduced to the market however none of these papers were able to conquer foil in the highlighting market due to the foils heat retaining qualities and for the fact that most hairstylists learned with aluminum foil and loyally still use it to this day.
Despite the fact that there is already a various selection of highlighting papers on the market none are reusable. Reusability is important when one takes into account that in any given head of hair being highlighted anywhere between 20- 50 would be used and then discarded. Hairstylists perform this process several times a week and the amount of money being lost begins adding up and a solution to this problem would be profitable to any hairstylists and every salon.
Obj ects of the Invention The invention is a material comprised of a thin sheet of foil being laminated to a thin sheet of either polyurethane, polypropylene, or polyester to create a sheet that is one side aluminum foil and one side poly substance. Then foil side of this material would allow for all the positive properties of using straight aluminum foil sheets except the three poly substances named above weigh a fraction of what aluminum foil weighs thus the invention weighs substantially less than foil sheets so the invention will not weigh down and pull out of the hair causing demarcation lines of colour in the hair like foil can.
Furthermore the invention would only need to be rinsed and wiped before using it again and again. The invention would be entirely reusable, saving money for all hairstylists who chose to use it.
Detailed Description of the Invention in Use Weave a section of hair from the head which is intended to be coloured. Next place the invention underneath the section of hair with the hair laying on top of the foil side of the sheet. Apply colour formula to the hair and close the sheet by folding the sheet in half so that the bottom edge is in line with the top edge. At this point the foil side of the invention is not visible and the polysubstance side is visible. Repeat this process until the entire head of hair has been woven into sections and coloured. After the colour formula has been fully processed remove the sheets from the head of hair and wash the colour formula out of the hair. Until now used highlight papers were disposable and thrown out however the invention can be rinsed with water and wiped or be left to air dry until used again.

Hairstylists who choose to use this invention will benefit from all of the most popular highlighting paper on the market ( Aluminum foil ) except that it will not process the heaviness that proves to be a detriment to those hairstylists who use aluminum foil. The invention is also reusable which makes it a competitive product on the highlighting paper market.

Claims (2)
1. The invention is a substance that is used by hairdressers in order to isolate and chemically treat selected strands of hair from a head of hair, this substance consists essentially of aluminum foil laminated with either polyurethane, polypropylene polyester to create a material that has the heat insulating qualities of aluminum foil that has been re-enforced with a polysubstance to give the material durability enough to be re-used, which conventional highlighting papers made only of aluminum foil do not allow for.
2. The substance as described in claim 1, is comprised of aluminum foil which is a common substance for highlighting hair, where as aluminum foil commonly weighs down and slips out of the hair causing demarcation lines from the coloring mixture that leaks outwards, the invention is laminated with a less dense polysubstance that is considerably lighter than conventional aluminum foil papers which eliminates the extra weight that can drag the highlighting papers out of the hair causing lines of demarcation or spotting.
