     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     The invention can be made with two or more colors that can blend together within a color range and also can be in various sizes applicators. The compound characteristics are that it glides onto the hair and scalp easily with or without the need to wet it with water. 
       FIG. 1  is one embodiment of the invention—single spectrum hair color applicator series. 
     As shown in  FIG. 1A , the applicator can be in the dimension of 3⅛ by 9/16 inches. In  FIG. 1  the example of the inventions applicator is 3 and ⅜ inches in length and 9/16 inches wide. The color compound is % inches long and % inch wide. 
     In this embodiment, the color pens are in four different color families that being (1) black-dark brown, (2) dark brown-medium brown, (3) auburn-medium brown and (4) ash blond-medium brown. The user can apply each color individually as well as create a variety of colors by blending the colors together when applying to the gray and or white hair. 
     The applications of different color shades are shown in the  FIG. 1C : Color blending spectra of single spectrum hair color pens. The various colors in the invention and the color schemes used can be varied based on the colors that are in fashion. The Invention allows a person to blend the right color within their hair color range since it has colors that blend together to create a variety of shades within a specific color scheme. 
     The invention may come in other various size and shapes as shown in  FIG. 2  and  FIG. 3 . It is convenient to be carried in a clothing pocket or pocketbook based on the size selected by the user. The examples illustrated in  FIG. 3  show several examples that include but are not limited to the invention&#39;s applicator shape. Also examples shown in  FIG. 2  include but are not limited to the invention&#39;s amount of colors within each applicator. 
     The color and design of the applicator can be varied allowing for a version for men and for women making it unisex. 
     The formula for the compound used for the color that is applied to the gray and or white hair is:
         Octyldodecanol   Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate   Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) wax   Copemcia Cerifera (Camauba) wax   Caprylyl Glycol   Iron Oxides   Titanium Dioxide       

     However, the color compound may vary but the basic characteristics remain the same and that being the coloring compound is firm, can be applied onto the gray to white hair easily by rubbing it on and can blend with the companion color or colors on the applicator to create a variety of color shades within a color scheme. The compound may vary in several ways that include but are not limited to the following: one can use it with or without the need to wet it and the compound can be odorless or have an odor. 
     Also, the formula can have ingredients added to it to allow for a hair treatment to include but not limited to adding a vitamin boost to fortify the hair or an herb extract that will enhance the strength of the hair root. 
     The invention provides an applicator that holds two or more hair color compounds. The applicator turns either manually or electronically exposing the color. The color can be applied without the need to wet it with water or used by wetting it with water. Once the person turns the applicator and the color compound comes out they can slide the color on to the gray or white hair simply and easily. The colors that are in one applicator are within a specific hair color family and can be blended together to make a variety of hair color shades by the user. 
     Since a person&#39;s hair changes colors (within a specific color range) from such unexpected circumstances which include but are not limited to exposure to the sun that has a tendency to lighten hair, from frequent use of chemicals that are applied to the hair such as hair treatments and last but not least by regular fading especially when the hair is dyed. The invention enables a person to use the color applicator with its varied colors that work together to create a desired color by the users since they can be blended. 
     The invention reduces the need for a person to constantly dye their hair to hide the gray and white hair. The invention gives a person more control over their looks and the tool to improve their appearance. The invention also is a great savings as it reduces the need for a person to spend money and time on constantly getting their hair dyed when they have those unwanted gray or white hairs showing periodically whether their hair color is natural or dyed. 
     In addition to the compound being able as a root touch up for gray and white hair which can be blended and act as a dye that washed out the compound also enables a person to create highlights to their hair. The formulation has the unique ability when applied to hair covers over any color hair whether it be darker or lighter than the shade being covered. Whereby the compound allows the hair of any color to be hidden and a new color drawn on top of it. The compound has the innovative properties that allow for example medium blonde color to go on top of a dark brown. Whereby hiding the dark brown color and showing only the medium brown in addition the compound has the ability to allow colors to be blended so in essence if a person took a light blonde color and a medium blonde they would create a third color that would be the combination of both colors that could be applied to any color darker or lighter and it would cover the color. 
     The compound allows for Instant Highlights™ to be placed in a persons hair themselves. When a person to applies the color which can be drawn on to any hair color without water that can create new hair colors for themselves instantly with no mess and no fuss. Not only can the invention enhance the look of a persons hair by adding highlights themselves, a person can also use the invention in various other ways. For example a person can use the invention to extend their own already dyed highlights by drawing over any hair growth. In addition a person could draw in a new look for the day or evening since the compound is temporary and can be washed out. Another way the invention can be used is test how highlights will look in ones hair since the compound washes out when shampooing. 
     The following includes but are not limited to the various features and benefits of the invention when used for highlighting the hair:
         Create Highlights Without Using a Liquid Chemical. Create highlights with No Fuss No Mess Instantly By Drawing Them Into the Hair   Temporary and Washes Out   Saves a Person Time and Money By Not Having To Spend Hundreds of Dollars to Have Their Hair Highlighted   Creates A Variety of Colors Instantly By Allowing A Person to Blend Them Together Themselves   Portable Can Be Used Anywhere At Home, Work or On The Go No Need For Water or Mixing With Chemicals   Instantly Creates High and Low Highlights in Minutes
