A method of imparting hair strand effects may include identifying each of a plurality of hair strands to which to apply a hair strand effect product independently and individually, the plurality of hair strands associated with an illustration of at least one type of hair strand effects and one of a plurality of hair styles, and applying the product to each of the plurality of hair strands independently and individually subsequent to identifying the plurality of hair strands. In the alternative or in combination, a hair instruction guide may be consulted, the guide having at least one strand size associated with one of the plurality of types of hair strand effects, and a strand of hair may be identified according to the at least one strand size. A system for creating a hair strand effect may include a hair strand effect product and such a hair instruction guide.

Method and system for imparting strand effect to hair

A manually-actuable, non-aerosol dispenser to be used with a personal care composition having a relatively higher viscosity that gives a desired foamed composition generated from a manually-actuable, non-aerosol dispenser.

Personal care composition foaming product and foaming dispenser

An oxidative hair colorant composition to be dispensed from a manually-actuable, non-aerosol dispenser as a foam. The oxidative hair colorant composition contains a foam stabilizing agent and is essentially free of surfactant.

Foam oxidative hair colorant composition

The present invention relates to an applicator () which allows for precise, non-messy and even application of a hair treatment composition to a hair strand. The applicator () comprises a plate () movably joined by a connection () to a well () and at least one metering layer selected from non-wovens, foams or combinations thereof. The metering layer has a caliper of from 0.15 mm to 39.5 mm and a compressibility as defined herein of from 59% to 93%. The metering layer may be a first metering layer () and be laid upon the rim () of the well () or may be a second metering layer () and be laid upon the internal surface () of the plate (), preferably along the perimeter ().

Applicator for a hair treatment composition

A fluid applicator having a body with a fluid inlet in communication with a reservoir of fluid to be dispensed. The applicator further includes a plurality of applicator tines extending outwardly from an application area of the body, and the tines are at least partially flexible. Moreover, at least some of the tines include a fluid pathway. Additionally, the applicator further includes a handle portion generally above the application area. An actuator is located on the body adjacent the front end and generally above and off-center from the application area. The actuator is operably configured to selectively dispense a predetermined amount of fluid to the fluid pathways of the tines for accurate and consistent dispensing and application of the fluid to a target surface.

A concentrated reduced dosage spray pump delivery system for dispensing fluids containing actives and volatile organic compounds with reduced emissions of the volatile organic compounds is disclosed. The system includes a housing storing a concentrated fluid containing volatile organic compounds and an effective component, wherein the effective component is concentrated within the fluid. The system also includes a spray pump in fluid communication with the concentrated fluid containing the volatile organic compounds such that the spray pump dispenses the concentrated fluid at a reduced dosage per pump stroke. The combination of the concentrated fluid containing volatile organic compounds and the reduced dosage per pump stroke reduces the emission of volatile organic compounds, while the quantity of actives applied per square area of application surface substantially remains the same.

Concentrated reduced dosage spray pump delivery system

A high pressure manually-actuated spray pump for dispensing a fluid. The spray pump comprises a nozzle through which the fluid is dispensed and a pumping engine. The pumping engine comprises a reservoir, a closure, and a plunger. The reservoir has an open top and a closed bottom and an interior surface. The plunger has an outer surface and a longitudinal passageway extending therethrough. The plunger further having an outlet valve mounted therein and an upper end and a lower end. The lower end being slidably disposed within the open top of the reservoir forming an interior chamber within the reservoir. The interior chamber has an annular chamber and a main chamber. The annular chamber being in fluid communication with the main chamber. The annular chamber is formed by the outer surface of the plunger being spaced away from the interior surface of the reservoir such that there is no frictional contact between the outer surface and the interior surface. The closure being attached to the open top of the reservoir allowing the plunger to slidably extend through the closure such that the interior chamber is sealingly closed. The nozzle is mounted on the upper end of the plunger such that the longitudinal passageway is in fluid communication with the nozzle. The interior chamber is separated from the longitudinal passageway by the outlet valve.
