Claim:
A method for coloring hair, the method comprising the steps of: providing a comb having a handle; providing a hair coloring foil, comprising: a flexible foil having a front surface, a bottom edge, and a top edge; a first hair gripping hook strip positioned on the front surface of the foil, wherein the first hair gripping hook strip is arranged adjacent to and in parallel with the top edge; a second hair gripping hook strip positioned on the front surface of the foil adjacent the first hair gripping hook strip, wherein the second hair gripping hook strip is also parallel with the top edge and the first hair gripping hook strip; wherein the first and second hair gripping hook strips are both closer to the top edge than the bottom edge, and are spaced apart to allow the foil to be folded between the first and second hair gripping hook strips around the handle of the comb; folding the foil around the handle of the comb such that the handle is positioned between the first and second hair gripping hook strips and such that the front surface and both the first and second hair gripping hook strips face outwardly, thereby producing a fold that divides the foil into an upper portion and a lower portion, with both the first and second hair gripping hook strips are adjacent to and on either side of the fold; pushing the handle of the comb into the hair of a subject adjacent the roots of the hair, such that the first hair gripping hook strips grip a first set of hair strands by the roots; selecting a second set of hair strands adjacent to the fold; positioning the second set of hair strands upon the lower portion of the foil such that the second hair gripping hook strip attached to the lower portion of the foil grips at least a portion of the second set of hair strands; applying a coloring agent to the second set of hair strands; and folding the foil to enclose the second set of hair strands.
