  • Patent number: 5810024
    Abstract: A kit comprised of a series of strips of impervious, thin plastic material interleaved with strips of the same size and shape made of tissue paper, a container of protein gel conditioner, and an optional perm board. The interleaved strips are assembled into a pack. The traditional tissue end papers used when perming hair has been replaced in the present invention with "end papers" made of a thin plastic film. The plastic end papers are used to cover hair that has been previously permed. In doing so, only the "new growth", i.e., the hair growth which is virgin hair, gets permed without reperming and damaging previously permed hair. The previously permed hair which is placed under the plastic wrap is coated with a liquid protein to further ensure protection against the perming solution.
