FACIAL HAIR COLORING APPLICATOR AND PACKAGING SYSTEM
A facial hair coloring device including: a container including at least two compartments, where one compartment contains at least one of a coloring agent and a bleaching agent, and where the other compartment contains at least one of a developer, an activator, and a chemical reagent designed to have a chemical reaction with the at least one of a coloring agent and a bleaching agent; a breakable seal separating the at least two compartments; an applicator tool adapted to fit into the at least two compartments, where the applicator tool is further adapted to break the breakable seal between the at least two compartments, where the applicator tool is further adapted to assist the user in mixing the contents of the at least two compartments, where the applicator tool is further designed to apply the mixed contents of the at least two compartments to facial hair. The facial hair coloring device of the first preferred embodiments is preferably designed to provide a compact system with a pre-measured amount of at least one of a two part liquid coloring system and a two part paste coloring system, where the system includes an applicator and contains everything in an easy-to-use package that promotes easy and complete mixing and allows coloring areas of facial hair that are smaller than are generally addressed by hair coloring systems, while preferably being a single use, disposable, low-mess system. The system of the preferred embodiments may, however, be used for any suitable purpose.
The following description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is intended to enable someone skilled in the prior art to make and use this invention, but is not intended to limit the invention to these preferred embodiments.
1. First Preferred EmbodimentAs shown in
As shown in
In a preferred variation, the breakable seal 4 is made of a metal foil at least one of laminated and covered with a polymer. In another preferred variation, the breakable seal 4 is made of a polymer material. The breakable seal 4 may, however, be made of any suitable material.
The contents of the at least two compartments 3 preferably form a multi-component chemical system for at least one of dyeing hair and bleaching hair. When the contents of the at least two compartments 3 are mixed, they preferably undergo a chemical reaction which activates them for use in at least one of dyeing and bleaching human hair. At least one compartment 3 preferably contains at least one of a coloring agent and a bleaching agent. The at least one additional compartment 7 preferably contains at least one of a developer, an activator, and a chemical reagent adapted to have a chemical reaction with the at least one of a coloring agent and a bleaching agent. It is common for two part dyeing mixtures to be used in coloring human hair. It is also common for two part bleaching mixtures to be used in coloring human hair, and in a variation these bleaching mixtures often contain peroxides and ammonia compounds. The contents of the at least two compartments 3 may, however, have any suitable composition for forming a multi-part system for at least one of coloring and bleaching human hair.
