Abstract: The method includes the sequential steps of gathering a first section (11) of hair from the head and passing the first section (11) of hair through a first hollow open-ended shield (21), gathering a second section (13) of hair from the head, laying the second section (13) against the outer surface (31) of the first shield (21), and treating the second section (13) of hair with a first coloring agent. A second hollow open-ended shield (23) is positioned around the first shield (21) and the second section (13) of hair, a third section of hair is gathered from the head, laid against the outer surface (33) of the second shield (23), and treated with a second coloring agent.
