Biodegradable hair sheets for modifying hair color, systems and methods of use

Abstract

A biodegradable hair sheet comprises a main body having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface having a texture thereon. The main body is appointed to receive a portion of hair on the first surface and texture thereon in an open configuration. At least one fastener for securing the main body in a closed configuration is provided. The biodegradable hair sheet is composed of a material that degrades in water.

The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 
     
         1 . A biodegradable hair sheet, comprising:
 a main body having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface having a texture thereon, the main body being appointed to receive a portion of hair on the first surface and texture thereon in an open configuration; and   at least one fastener for securing the main body in a closed configuration;   wherein the biodegradable hair sheet is composed of a material that degrades in water.   
     
     
         2 . The biodegradable hair sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the material comprises one or more PVOH, cellulose, starch and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         3 . The biodegradable hair sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the texture is located over substantially the entire first surface of the main body through heat or mechanical methods. 
     
     
         4 . The biodegradable hair sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the texture is embossed, needle punched or stamped into the first surface. 
     
     
         5 . The biodegradable hair sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the texture is coated on the first surface. 
     
     
         6 . The biodegradable hair sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the texture is thermal bonded within the fibers of the first surface of the main body. 
     
     
         7 . The biodegradable hair sheet of  claim 1  comprising a color changing indicator for visual indication that a hair color or lightening process is complete. 
     
     
         8 . The biodegradable hair sheet of  claim 1  comprising one or more hair treatment, hair color agent or hair lightening agent embedded on the main body of the biodegradable hair sheet. 
     
     
         9 . The biodegradable hair sheet of  claim 8  comprising a developer for activation of the hair color or lightening agent. 
     
     
         10 . The biodegradable hair sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the fastener comprises one or more foldable tabs appointed to lock the main body in place when the main body is in the closed configuration. 
     
     
         11 . The biodegradable hair sheet of  claim 10 , wherein the at least two foldable tabs comprise first and second foldable panels with one or more adhesive portions and are appointed to fold over and adhere to one another. 
     
     
         12 . The biodegradable hair sheet of  claim 11 , wherein the first and second foldable panels are composed of laminated wax paper. 
     
     
         13 . The biodegradable hair sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fastener comprises one or more metal strip. 
     
     
         14 . The biodegradable hair sheet of  claim 13 , wherein the one or more metal strip is located centrally within the main body extending from a top of the main body to the bottom of the main body. 
     
     
         15 . A method of coloring or lightening hair using biodegradable hair sheets, the method comprising the steps of:
 selecting a hair portion and one or more biodegradable hair sheet, the biodegradable hair sheet comprising: a main body having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface having a texture thereon, the main body being appointed to receive a portion of hair on the first surface and texture thereon in an open configuration; and at least one fastener for securing the main body in a closed configuration; wherein the biodegradable hair sheet is composed of a material that degrades in water;   placing the hair portion on the first surface of the main body of the biodegradable hair sheet;   applying a hair color or lightening agent to the hair;   rolling or folding the main body and hair portion;   fastening the main body in a closed configuration;   after a period of time, rinsing with water to remove the hair color or lightening agent and the biodegradable hair sheet.   
     
     
         16 . The method of coloring or lightening hair of  claim 15 , wherein the hair color or lightening agent is embedded on the main body of the biodegradable hair sheet, and wherein the hair color or lightening agent is activated by spring with developer. 
     
     
         17 . The method of coloring or lightening hair of  claim 15 , wherein the fastener comprises one or more foldable tabs located on and extending from a top portion on opposite side walls of the main body appointed to lock the main body in place when the main body is in the closed configuration. 
     
     
         18 . The method of coloring or lightening hair of  claim 17 , wherein the at least two foldable tabs comprise first and second foldable panels composed of laminated wax paper having one or more adhesive portions, wherein the first and second foldable panels are folded and press adhered over one another and the main body is rolled and secured in the closed configuration. 
     
     
         19 . The method of coloring or lightening hair of  claim 15 , wherein the at least one fastener comprises a metal strip located centrally within the main body extending from a top of the main body to the bottom of the main body that secures the main body in the closed configuration when the main body is rolled or folded. 
     
     
         20 . A method of making a biodegradable hair sheet, comprising the steps of:
 forming a main body having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface having a texture thereon, the main body being appointed to receive a portion of hair on the first surface and texture thereon in an open configuration; and   forming at least one fastener for securing the main body in a closed configuration;   wherein the biodegradable hair sheet is composed of a material that degrades in water.
