Abstract
A hair color towel. A towel for hair colorists that includes a towel body and a male/female snap system. The female snap is secured to the edge of the towel so as to provide means for securing to a male snap that is located on the opposite side edge of the towel. This makes a triangular shape on and around the neck and shoulders. A straight line is created across the front of the chest and back. Securing this towel around the neck and shoulders makes for a NO DRIP-NO DROP color towel. Specifically designed for use in the cosmetology, beauty, or hair care industries.
