Abstract: The present invention is an article used in the application of liquid to the hair of an individual during a beauty treatment. The article includes at least one single ply of absorbent material shirred, or puckered, and coupled to an elastic strip so as to expand. A fastener is provided for securing the absorbent material snugly around the head of the individual. Further, a flexible material is coupled to the absorbent material and extends therefrom to enclose the hair of the individual. During application of the liquid to the hair, the absorbent material prevents excess liquid from dripping on facial regions and clothing. Upon completion of the application, the flexible material can be extended and fastened so as to completely enclose the hair. Thus, annoying fumes and additional liquid are prevented from escaping the enclosure.
