Claim:
An ear protection kit for protecting the external ears of a human during hair treatment processes, comprising: a pair of first flexible generally ovate pouch-like covers, each formed of a single sheet of chemically resistant and moisture impervious material shaped similar to a human ear and having a stretchable resilient opening for placement over the external ear, and an outwardly flared skirt portion surrounding said opening and extending radially outward therefrom, and each of said first pouch-like protective covers having a larger top end portion that accommodates the helix of the ear and tapering downwardly to a smaller bottom end portion that accommodates the lobule of the ear, and said outwardly flared skirt portion surrounding said opening covering the skin area immediately surrounding the ear; said first covers being worn on the ears to prevent harsh chemicals, moisture and hair dye from contacting the delicate skin area around the ear; and a pair of second flexible generally ovate pouch-like protective covers, each formed of a single sheet of thermally insulating material shaped similar to a human ear and having a stretchable resilient opening for placement over the external ear, each of said second pouch-like protective covers having a larger top end portion that accommodates the helix of the ear and tapering downwardly to a smaller bottom end portion that accommodates the lobule of the ear; and said second covers being worn on the ears to insulate and protect the external ears from the heat that is generated by hair dryers and electric straightening/curling irons used during the hair treatment process.
