Abstract:
An improved apparatus for isolating sections of hair from hair treatment materials, said apparatus comprising:a) an elongated curling rod on which a hair section is adapted to be wound; b) a sheet of material impermeable to the hair treatment materials adapted to overlie the hair section for winding onto said curling rod with the hair section; c) a split sleeve sealing member adapted for fitting onto said curling rod in overlying relation to the wound up hair section and said sheet and operative to press upon and seal the hair section and said sheet from hair treatment materials, said split sleeve sealing member defined by spaced-apart first and second distal ends; d) a pair of spaced-apart tabs arranged with one said tab extending axially outward from each distal end of said split sleeve sealing member beyond said curling rod ends so as to provide a free area for acceptance of a prying member thereunder to aid in prying off said split sleeve sealing member from said curling rod and the hair wound about it; and, e) a groove formed in the outer surface of said split sleeve sealing member for indicating the location of applying hair treatment solutions.
