Method for applying a hairstyling composition comprising a fixing agent

Abstract

The method for applying a hairstyling composition comprising at least one fixing agent to the hair with the aid of an applicator comprising a plurality of spikes provided with end parts having a flat shape or a cross section that decreases in the direction of their free ends comprises:—a step of loading the end parts of the spikes of the applicator with the hairstyling composition, and—a step of transferring the hairstyling composition retained on the end parts of the spikes of the applicator to the hair by tapping said spikes on the hair.

1 . Method for applying a hairstyling composition comprising at least one fixing agent to the hair with the aid of an applicator comprising a plurality of spikes provided with end parts having a flat shape or a cross section that decreases in the direction of their free ends, comprising:
 a step of loading the end parts of the spikes of the applicator with the hairstyling composition, and   a step of transferring the hairstyling composition retained on the end parts of the spikes of the applicator to the hair by tapping said spikes on the hair.   
     
     
         2 . Method according to  claim 1 , wherein the step of transferring the hairstyling composition to the hair is realized by directly tapping the end parts of the spikes of said applicator on the hair. 
     
     
         3 . Method according to  claim 1 , wherein the applicator comprises a base delimiting a frontal surface from which the spikes extend, the density of spikes on said frontal surface being between 1 and 20 per cm 2 . 
     
     
         4 . Method according to  claim 3 , wherein said frontal surface of the base of the applicator measures between 10 and 1000 cm 2 . 
     
     
         5 . Method according to  claim 1 , wherein the total number of spikes on the applicator is between 20 and 20 000. 
     
     
         6 . Method according to  claim 1 , wherein the transverse dimension of the spikes is between 0.3 mm and 3 mm. 
     
     
         7 . Method according to  claim 1 , wherein the height of the end parts of decreasing cross section is less than or equal to four times the transverse dimension of the spikes. 
     
     
         8 . Method according to  claim 1 , wherein the length of the spikes is between 2 mm and 40 mm. 
     
     
         9 . Method according to  claim 1 , wherein the applicator is loaded with the hairstyling composition by the latter being picked up directly by the spikes of the applicator from a container containing said composition, or by the spikes being brought into contact with a support impregnated or loaded with composition. 
     
     
         10 . Method according to  claim 1 , wherein the spikes of said applicator are made of a non-absorbent material.
