AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a glove device that protects the hands and fingers of a user from contact with fluids while also promoting enhanced fluid retention. This allows for easy and enhanced communication of fluids or creams to the hair skin or scalp of a client or recipient. Additionally, the glove provides projections or rods that enhance fluid retention and can be used for combing and separating hair follicles while applying the retained fluid.

Problems solved by technology

Such liquid or gel product or cream application used in hair coloring, is generally difficult to apply, especially to the portions of the hair needing a touch up, adjacent the scalp.

The use of bottles of such fluid with funneled applicators is less than adequate to reach these low-lying areas of hair adjacent the scalp, and generally result in a messy application with the mixed coloring fluid missing the target.

When tools such as small brushes are employed for this purpose, it can be hard to hold the brush or tool with gloved hands, and to concurrently accurately place the liquid dye or coloring fluid or cream, in the correct positions on the scalp.

Various limitations of the related art will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon a reading and understanding of the specification below and the accompanying drawings.
