ABSTRACT:
An applicator for transferring color-altering material from a substrate to hair or fibers, and methods for making and using the same. The applicator includes a color-altering dye material adhered to one surface of the substrate. The substrate is preferably flexible and thin, and made of a material such as a foil, a paper composition or a synthetic polymer. The substrate is further conformable to the shape of a human hand. The dye material is soluble in water and water-activated, and is carried by a portion of the substrate. Two processes for fabricating the applicators are disclosed. Each applicator carries a dye material which has a specific color. The applicators can be packaged singly, or together as a kit with the color of dye on the applicators being the same, different, or a combination thereof. Use of an applicator requires wetting the hairs or fibers, and then applying a substrate to the hairs or fibers. Next, the user wraps the substrate about the bundle of hair or fibers, and firmly squeezes and/or wipes the encircling substrate relative to the bundle of fibers or hair.
