US Patent 7322365 Channel coloring system

The hair coloring system of the present invention comprises a tray that includes three to five color channels, open square bowls for single brushes and an open slot in which brush handles may be placed for storing a number of brushes. Different colors may be squeezed into the channels along with the appropriate mixing solution. A coloring brush is also provided that comprises a handle, hair pick, comb, and brush. The brush portion includes segregated tufts of bristles that correspond to the color channels. The brush may be used to divide the hair into sections, mix the colors, and then to apply the colors to the hair. In this way a single brush and tray combination can do what previously required many different instruments.
