Hydrophilic foam pad for hair styling, conditioning and coloring
First Claim
1. A hair coloring, conditioning and styling pad consisting essentially of a resilient, open-celled, hydrophilic polyurethane foam matrix, wherein bound to said matrix is an aqueous phase incorporating about 60-80% water, about 5-25% of a temporary hair coloring agent, about 5-25% of a polymeric organic film-forming hair conditioning agent, and about 0.1-10% of a nonionic surfactant.

Abstract
A hair conditioning and styling pad is provided which comprises a shaped body of a resilient, open-celled, hydrophilic polyurethane foam matrix integrally incorporating an aqueous phase incorporating about 70-90% water, about 5-25% of a hair conditioning agent, and a nonionic surfactant. The pad is preferably affixed to the tines of a styling brush or comb to yield a composite brush or comb which is effective to condition and style hair. In a further modification of the invention, color-modified aqueous phases will further comprise about 5-25% of a temporary hair coloring agent, and the percentage of water in the color-modified aqueous phase will be about 60-80%.
