Abstract

A hair product application system includes a main body defining a reservoir which contains a hair product or hair coloring substance, an integral applicator having a first portion disposed inside the reservoir and a second portion disposed through an opening to the outside of the main body, and a cap adapted to cover the second portion of the applicator and sealingly attach to the main body. The applicator transports the hair product from the reservoir to the outer surface of the second portion of the applicator by capillary action, from where the hair product may be transferred by direct contact to the hair to be treated.
