The present invention is an article used in the application of liquid to the hair of an individual during a beauty treatment. The article includes at least one single ply of absorbent material shirred, or puckered, and coupled to an elastic strip so as to expand. A fastener is provided for securing the absorbent material snugly around the head of the individual. Further, a flexible material is coupled to the absorbent material and extends therefrom to enclose the hair of the individual. During application of the liquid to the hair, the absorbent material prevents excess liquid from dripping on facial regions and clothing. Upon completion of the application, the flexible material can be extended and fastened so as to completely enclose the hair. Thus, annoying fumes and additional liquid are prevented from escaping the enclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A head shield for protection of the face and clothing during application of hair treatment liquid comprising; a multiple-ply strip of moisture absorbent fabric having an extended length substantially greater than the distance around the head of the user; a flexible non-permeable sheet having one edge thereof longer than the distance around the users head but substantially shorter than the extended length of the absorbent fabric; an elastic band expansible to substantially the length of the aforesaid one edge of said non-permeable sheet; means securing the absorbent fabric and the elastic band to said non-permeable sheet along said one edge thereof to form along said one edge a highly puckered expansible band of said absorbent fabric, said one edge of said non-permeable sheet being normally in puckered configuration and being expansible by stretching the elastic strip secured thereto to extend around the head of the user; and means for securing the respective ends of said one edge together thereby fixing the puckered absorbent fabric around and against the user's head and permitting the non-permeable sheet to drape down over the face and clothing of the user or to be wrapped upwardly about the hair of the user, the puckered absorbent fabric around and against the user's head effectively absorbing excess hair treating liquid during use.

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates generally to beauty products and more specifically, to a protective head shield for absorbing excess liquids and preventing the liquids from dripping from hair during application of various beauty treatments.
Beauty treatment of hair normally entails the application of varying amounts and kinds of liquids to the hair of an individual having the treatment.
Often, as with a "permanent treatment", the liquid which is applied to the hair subjects the individual to discomfort caused by odor and excessive amounts of liquid dripping from the hair onto the facial area and clothing
