Abstract
Abstract A hairdressing aid is described comprising a perforated strip (16) which forms part of or is secured or securable to a sheet, sleeve or bag (10) into which hair pulled through the apertures (20) can be wrapped after it has been treated with dye or like colouring material. The perforated strip is adapted to be secured to the hair by using clips (12) over a region of the scalp in which part of the hair is to be dyed and after the hair has been pulled through the perforations and dyed the hair and sheet, sleeve or bag is rolled up and secured, possibly by the same clips (12), to retain the hair in the package whilst the dye is processing. The strip may be formed by folding over thin sheet material and secured to form a two or more ply thickness. Alternatively, double-sided tape may be employed with the exposed surface of the tape which adjoins the tape to the edge of the sheet material. Preferred material for both strip and sheet, sleeve or bag, is polythene.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
A method of colouring human hair involving the steps of: (1) laying over the head of hair a strip of perforated plastics material having a thinner plastics sheet extending therefrom, (2) pulling strands of hair through the perforations in the said strip using a hooked needle in known manner, (3) applying to the protruding strands of hair colouring fluid, and (4) wrapping the hair in the thinner sheet of plastics material and temporarily securing the hair within the package for such time as is required to allow the colouring reaction to occur, the hair contained within the package thereby being kept separate from the remainder of the head of hair whilst the colouring reaction proceeds.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
115 words
A method of colouring human hair involving the steps of: (1) laying over the head of hair a strip of perforated plastics material having a thinner plastics sheet extending therefrom, (2) pulling strands of hair through the perforations in the said strip using a hooked needle in known manner, (3) applying to the protruding strands of hair colouring fluid, and (4) wrapping the hair in the thinner sheet of plastics material and temporarily securing the hair within the package for such time as is required to allow the colouring reaction to occur, the hair contained within the package thereby being kept separate from the remainder of the head of hair whilst the colouring reaction proceeds.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
97 words
An aid for use in the method of claim 1 comprising a strip of perforated material adaptable to the contours of a human head through which hair can be drawn using a hooked needle (in a manner known per se) and a sheet of thinner non perforated flexible material which extends therefrom into which hair protruding through the perforations of the strip can be wrapped after colouring material has been applied thereto, so that the protruding hair can be kept separate from the remainder of the hair of the person to which the device has been fitted.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
An aid as set forth in claim 2 in which the sheet of flexible material is thinner than the material forming the perforated strip.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
An aid as set forth in claim 2 in which the sheet of flexible material is formed into a bag into which the hair can be inserted before it is rolled up to form a package.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
An aid as set forth in claim 4 in which the strip is formed integrally with the lightweight sheet sleeve or bag.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
A hairdressing aid as set forth in claim 2 in combination with at least one other such aid when sealed in an airtight container, to form a hairdressing kit.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
A kit as set forth in claim 6 further comprising clips by which a strip can be secured to the hair.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
95 words
A method of making a hair dyeing aid as claimed in claim 2 comprising the steps of: (1) Forming a plurality of perforations in a length of strip of relatively thick plastics material, (2) feeding the perforated strip into a heat sealing station together with a sheet of relatively thin plastics material with an overlap between the two, and joining the two materials together, along the overlap, and (3) cutting transversely to the join to form a plurality of sections each containing a length of perforated strip bonded to a sheet of relatively thin material.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
65 words
A method as set forth in claim 8 further comprising the intermediate step of folding the thin flexible plastics material sheet longitudinally so that the folded over edge extends parallel to and close to the perforated strip of relatively thick plastics material, before cutting transversely to the join to allow bags to be formed by welding the edges which extend perpendicularly to the perforated strip.
