An applicator (100) for transferring color-altering material from a substrate to hair or fibers, and methods for making and using the same. The applicator (100) includes a first portion (102) and a contiguous second portion (106). A color-altering dye material (104), which is soluble in water and water-activated, is adhered to one or both portions (102,106) of the applicator (100). The applicator (100) is flexible, thin, and is made of a material such as a foil, a paper composition or a synthetic polymer which is conformable to the shape of the human hand. The color of the dye can be the same, different, or a combination thereof. Use of the applicator (100) requires wetting the hairs or fibers, and then applying the substrate to the hairs or fibers. Next, the user wraps the substrate about the bundle of hair or fibers, and firmly squeezes and/or wipes the encircling substrate against the bundle. |
