Claim:
An applicator for transferring hair-coloring chemicals to a selected bundle of hair; comprising: a case having a pair of opposing shallow compartments; each compartment comprising a web extending laterally between a connecting edge and a spaced closure edge as well as axially between a scalp-ward edge and a spaced tail edge; each compartment further comprising complete or incomplete low peripheral rims extending along the edges of said web thereof; a connector for connecting the one rim and the other rim of the opposed compartments that extend along the respective connecting edges thereof; a closure for releasably closing the one rim and the other rim of the of the opposed compartments that extend along the respective closure edges thereof, whereby said case can be releasably shut closed with said opposing shallow compartments in opposition to each other; a pre-charge of color-base hair-coloring chemicals in one compartment and a pre-charge of activator therefor in the other compartment; and readily-removable barriers sealingly-covering each compartment in order to seal in the respective pre-charges therein not only to keep the respective pre-charges separate and apart from each other and avoid pre-mature interaction therebetween but also to keep each pre-charge fresh and preserved until some temporally-remote time later when mixed with the other after the sealingly-covering barriers are removed and the case is closed shut; wherein each compartment of said case includes a series of protrusions that promote pushing the pre-charge therein to mix with the pre-charge in the opposing compartment after the respective sealingly-covering barriers therefor are removed and the case is closed shut.
