Abstract: A process for removably applying coloring material to hair comprises contacting a composite fabric material to hair and compressing the hair along with the composite material while heating the hair to a temperature of at least 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The composite fabric material is a laminated structure formed from a fiberglass substrate having polytetrafluoroethylene bonded thereto. The top surface of the polytetrafluoroethylene has a water-soluble coloring material deposed thereon which is brought into contact with the hair. The hair is compressed and heated using a hair crimping device with a first jaw with a female die member is attached thereto and a second jaw with a corresponding male die member is attached thereto.
