DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] Preferred embodiments of the present invention and their advantages may be understood by referring to FIGS. 1-3, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements.

[0017] In an embodiment, the present invention is provided as one or more transparent hair treatment sheets 100. In a specific embodiment, the hair treatment sheets are provided with dimensions of 14 inches in length and 4 inches in width. However, in other embodiments dimensions may be varied to accommodate different lengths of hair and desired width of sections to be dyed.

[0018] In a further embodiment, the hair treatment sheets 100 are provided with a pre-folded section 150 (as shown in FIG. 2). The pre-folded section is provided to allow the stylist to apply dye close to the scalp with a comb.

[0019] In an embodiment, the transparent sheets are comprised of plastic, cellulose acetate, polypropylene, or other polymer material suitably rendered for the application. The plastic is able to withstand the heat produced by the chemical processes which occur while the hair is being dyed. Furthermore, the sheets are able to retain moisture to prevent the hair coloring agents from drying out while processing.

[0020] By using the transparent sheets, the stylist is able to visually check the position of the dying agent without having to move the sheets. Furthermore, the stylist can monitor the processing of the dying agent without having to disturb the position of the hair and dye.

[0021] An example of the hair dying process using the transparent hair treatment sheets is illustrated by FIG. 3. The process begins by the stylist or user placing section of hair 250 (of a person 200) to be treated on top of a first transparent treatment sheet 101. The treatment agent is then applied to the section of hair, and a second treatment sheet 102 is placed on top of the treated hair. This process is then repeated for all sections of hair which the stylist or user wishes to treat. In an example, the treatment process is hair dying.

[0022] In an embodiment, the transparent hair treatment sheets are reusable, and the user or stylist is able to rinse excess dying agent from the sheets using warm water. After letting the treatment sheet dry, the sheet is able to be used during another dying process.

[0023] The invention has been described herein using specific embodiments for the purposes of illustration only. It will be readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art, however, that the principles of the invention can be embodied in other ways. Therefore, the invention should not be regarded as being limited in scope to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but instead as being fully commensurate in scope with the following claims.
