A hair color retouch kit, components of the kit, and methods of use and doing business. The kit can include one or more mixing containers. In one embodiment, a mixing container provides a colorant compartment for sealingly or separately containing a custom hair coloring formulation and peroxide compartment for sealingly or separately containing peroxide. The mixing container(s) can be used by a professional hair colorist to provide a hair coloring client with custom hair coloring formulation and peroxide that can be mixed and applied by or for the client to hair regrowth that occurs after a hair coloring session with the professional. The kit can provide other components as desired, such as a mixing spatula, an applicator brush, and instructions for example. The kit can be packaged in attractive and efficient packaging, include indicia identifying the source of the kit, and be customized to promote the colorist, salon, or other entity.

A formula delivery system can be used in conjunction with hair and scalp treatment appliances to supply a hair treatment formulation to the appliance. In one aspect, the formula delivery system delivers hair coloring formulation to the appliance. Formula delivery systems of the present disclosure generally include at least one fluid container configured to retain a volume of formulation for delivery of the formulation to a hair coloring appliance. In this regard, the formula delivery system may be configured to removably couple to an inlet member of the appliance that allows the appliance to draw the formulation from the fluid container for use within the appliance.

A hair treatment kit comprises a hair treatment composition selected from the group of semi-permanent oxidative and/or direct dye hair colorant compositions, hair bleaching compositions, highlighting compositions, and combinations thereof, a reservoir for holding the temporary hair treatment composition, and an applicator fluidly connected to the reservoir for selectively applying the hair treatment composition to a targeted area of hair. Methods of applying the hair treatment composition comprise selectively engaging the applicator with a targeted area of hair, leaving the hair treatment composition in the targeted area for a time period, washing the hair treatment composition out of the targeted area, closing the reservoir to preserve remaining hair treatment composition for later use, and reapplying the hair treatment composition to the targeted area.

Methods of priming formulation delivery devices include providing a formulation cartridge, inserting the formulation cartridge into a handle of the formulation delivery device, and initiating a priming sequence which simultaneously pumps a first formulation and a second formulation from the formulation cartridge for a first time period such that the first formulation and the second formulation pass from the formulation cartridge, through a pump, and exit a nozzle assembly of the formulation delivery device.

Disclosed is ZAP-RTA, a Root Touch up Applicator is a push button operated apparatus that directs and deposits color chemical on to the roots of hair. The process is safe fast and effortless. Its' tapered Parting Pen, parts hair precisely while color is being deposited on to the scalp when the pump button is pressed down and the Blending ball blends the chemical onto the scalp. ZAP-RTA is comprised of a piston pump system, one-way valves, spring, inlet and outlet nozzles. The body contains the reservoir, piston-pump cylinder, 2 one-way valves and inlet and outlet nozzles. The barrel is tapered to help part hair and contains an opening that directs the outflow of hair color downward. Just behind outflow opening is the Blender Ball attached to help blend the color chemical closer to the scalp.

An improved hair coloring device is a lightweight cylindrical unit measuring approximately four to five inches (4″-5″) in length, with a slightly curved handle to provide a comfortable, ergonomic grip. The hollowed interior of the improved hair coloring device would house the interchangeable cartridge of chosen hair dye, which would extend downward and distribute out of an egress point or nozzle. A comb attachment, and an optional brush attachment are able to be inserted into this nozzle as well. Premixed and comprised of colorant ingredients, the dye cartridges for the improved hair coloring device would be produced in a manageable mousse form, as well as a liquid form, with a virtually endless array of shades to match the popular hair colorants available on the market, as well as any user's own natural hair color. A battery operated, automatic dispenser is also available for times when house current is not available.

A hair painting board fosters application of coloring and other hair treatments in an efficient manner. The hair painting board has a curved body to conform to the shape a client's scalp. A wider end of the hair painting board provides the option to a hair stylist to select a variety of hair strands from various areas of the scalp and apply treatment thereto quickly and efficiently. A narrower end is useful for application of treatment at smaller areas of the scalp. One or more notches in the curved body aid in grasping and manipulating the hair painting board.

Hair dye composition and method of dyeing hair that targets only at least one grey part using a permanent hair dye component comprising a specific volume percentage of a particulate pigment to permanent hair dye component. The purpose of some embodiments of the invention is to delay the need for women to dye their hair in full. At least one pigment particle (about 0.0770 ml or about 1/64th of a teaspoon) may be added to a bottle of 71 ml of permanent hair dye, which allows the permanent hair dye composition to become visible and allows for more accuracy during application. Using small quantities of 5 cc per application (hair dye: 2.5 ml; developer: 2.5 ml) reduces the amount of dye applied to needless areas of the hair. The use of a make-up sponge stick allows for better accuracy. The composition is multi-use, and provides for 28 applications (71 ml bottle of dye and 71 ml of developer), and will save users time and money. All these characteristics provide for a hair dye composition that significantly reduces the amount of harmful chemicals applied to users' hair.

The invention relates to a device in the form of a composition felt pen for quickly and instantaneously self-coloring the sparse white hairs of the beard and white hair. It consists of a body that encloses a porous reservoir impregnated with a cartridge of coloring composition and connects to a tip of synthetic fiber. This is a real novelty for men.

A hair coloring appliance includes a handle and a hair color delivery system supported within the handle. A nozzle assembly is adapted to receive hair color. The nozzle assembly includes a stationary frame and a nozzle array through which the hair color is delivered to the hair and a plurality of filaments adjacent the nozzles which are longer than the nozzles, acting as a stand-off between the nozzles and the scalp. A motor reciprocates the nozzle array back and forth as hair color moves through the nozzles.
