Soft flexible generally ovate pouch-like ear protectors formed of a single sheet of chemically resistant and moisture impervious or heat insulative material shaped similar a human ear that protect the ear from heat and harsh chemicals and moisture during hair treatment operations, and their method of manufacture are disclosed. The protectors have a stretchable resilient opening for placement over the external ear, a larger top end portion that accommodates the helix of the ear and taper downwardly to a smaller bottom end portion that accommodates the lobule of the ear. In one embodiment, the protectors have a radially outward flared skirt portion surrounding the opening to prevent harsh chemicals, moisture and hair dye from contacting the ears and delicate skin area around the ears. In another embodiment the protectors insulate and protect the ears from heat generated by hair dryers and electric straightening/curling irons. Pairs of each embodiment may be provided as a kit.
