Abstract: A protective sanitary ear cover includes a specially designed protective cover that is suitably sized and shaped to protect the ear from exposure to the harsh chemicals used to color one's hair. Each sanitary cover wraps around the outer ear for protecting both the outer and inner ear from water, shampoo and chemical solutions utilized when styling a person's hair. The cover is produced from clear light weight to medium weight material, like plastic. In the preferred embodiment the cover is annular-shaped and has an elastic band positioned about the perimeter of the opening thereof for comfortably holding the cover about a wearer's ear.
