Abstract: In order to color areas of scalp exposed when a woman's hair is styled so as to reveal areas of the scalp within the hairstyle, the colored areas are first treated with a light coating of hair gel which is allowed to dry, then are colored using a cosmetic pencil having a core of pigments supported in a polymer emulsion surrounded by a sheath that may be partially removed to expose extended sections of the core. The colored sections are then lightly sprayed with a spritz. The implements used to practice the method are preferably provided in a kit formed within an openable pouch, container, or the like, so that the implements are conveniently available and may be carried to touch up the hair after wear.
