Abstract:
A hair-penetrating shield  220  comprises a tooth array having top  280  and bottom  290  surfaces. In some embodiments, for a majority of the teeth, a cross section of each tooth (for example, triangular in shape) has an asymmetric width profile such that the tooth cross section, on average, is narrower near the top of the tooth and wider near the bottom of the tooth. In some embodiments, a ratio between: i) a first average tooth width describing the average tooth width below the top-bottom midpoint; and ii) a second average tooth width describing the average tooth width above the top-bottom midpoint is at least 1.2, or at least 1.6. In some embodiments, a non-viscous hair-coloring agent is dispensed as a mist over the top of the surface of the shield so as to color roots of hair passing through the spaces between the teeth of the user's hair. In some embodiments, closely-spaced teeth of the hair penetrating shield protect the user's scalp from the non-viscous hair-coloring agent. Related methods and kits are disclosed herein.

Claim (Index 30):
The hair coloring device of  claim 27  wherein, for the majority of teeth, for most locations along the tooth axis wherein:\n i. each pair of laterally neighboring teeth T 1  and T 2  are positioned to form a respective intertooth lateral void that is in between the laterally neighboring teeth within a height range having upper and lower bounds:\n A. the upper bound being the lower height of the top of tooth T 1  and the top of tooth T 2 , and \n B. the lower bound being the greater height of the bottom of tooth T 1  and the bottom of tooth T 2 , and \n \n ii. a cross section of the respective intertooth void has an asymmetric width profile along the shield thickness axis such that the void cross section, on average, is wider near the top of the intertooth void and the intertooh void, on average, is narrower near the bottom of the intertooth void.
