Abstract: A hair treatment device consists of a thin flexible plastic strip provided with radiused ends and a row of apertures. In use, the strip is inserted under the bands of perm rods which are situated on the head of a user. The user's hair is wrapped around the perm rods and secured by the bands. By inserting the strip between the perm rod bands and the user's hair, the bands are lifted slightly from the hair. When permanent solution is applied to the hair, the hair tends to expand against the perm rod bands. The strip serves to release the tension of the bands from the hair, preventing the hair from breaking. The holes in the strip allow the permanent solution to freely penetrate to all areas of the hair.
