wherein the stop is configured to limit insertion of the finger relative to the finger fastener.
- 13. The device of claim 1, further comprising a holding member,
wherein the holding member is configured to cooperate with the-container to hold the strand of hair in engagement with the container so as to allow the strand of hair to be coated with the hair product.
- 14. The device of claim 13, wherein the holding member is configured to be folded onto an opening of the container for gripping the strand of hair between the opening and the holding member, and
wherein pinching a base of the container and the holding member on either side of the strand of hair exerts the pressure on the container.
- 15. The device of claim 13, wherein the holding member comprises a plate, and
wherein a size of the plate is larger than a size of an opening of the container.
- 16. The device of claim 13, wherein the holding member comprises teeth.
- 17. The device of claim 13, wherein at least part of the holding member is at least substantially the same as at least part of the applicator portion.
- 18. The device of claim 13, wherein the holding member comprises a second finger fastener, and
wherein the second finger fastener is configured to be fixed to at least one second finger.
- 19. The device of claim 18, wherein the second finger fastener comprises at least one elastically deformable second tab configured to be placed at least in part around the at least one second finger.
- 20. The device of claim 1, wherein the finger fastener comprises two elastically deformable tabs configured to be connected to one another.
- 21. The device of claim 13, further comprising a flexible linking strip,
wherein the flexible linking strip connects the holding member to the container.
- 22. The device of claim 21, wherein the at least one elastically deformable tab extends orthogonally to the flexible linking strip.
- 23. The device of claim 1, wherein the device is formed from a single unitary piece of material.
- 24. The device of claim 1, wherein the applicator portion and the finger fastener comprise the same material.
- 25. The device of claim 24, wherein the device is formed by moulding.
- 26. A system comprising:
the device of claim 1; and a hair product.
- 27. A method for applying hair product, the method comprising:
providing the device of claim 1;fixing the device to the at least one finger of the hand via the finger fastener; sandwiching the at least one strand of hair between at least one other finger of the hand and at least a part of the device; and exerting manual pressure on the applicator portion so as to apply the hair product to the at least one strand of hair.
- 28. The method of claim 27, further comprising moving the device longitudinally relative to the at least one strand of hair.
- 29. The method of claim 27, wherein the hair product is applied in a highlight manner.
- 30. The method of claim 27, wherein the manual pressure exerted on the container causes compression of the container.
- 31. The method of claim 27, wherein the device comprises a holding member, and wherein the method further comprises using the holding member to hold the at least one strand in engagement with the container.
- 32. The method of claim 27, wherein the holding member comprises a second finger fastener, and wherein the method further comprises fixing the second finger fastener to the at least one other finger.
- 33. A device for application of a hair product, comprising:
an applicator portion configured to be loaded with hair product,
wherein the applicator portion comprises a container, wherein the applicator portion is configured to apply the hair product to at least one strand of hair when the device is moved longitudinally relative to the strand of hair; and at least one finger fastener associated with the applicator portion,
wherein the finger fastener is configured to allow the device to be fixed to at least one finger of a hand, wherein the finger fastener comprises at least one tab configured to be placed at least in part around the at least one finger, and wherein the applicator portion and the finger fastener comprise the same material.
- 34. A device for application of a hair product, comprising:
an applicator portion configured to be loaded with hair product,
wherein the applicator portion comprises a container, wherein the applicator portion is configured to apply the hair product to at least one strand of hair when the device is moved longitudinally relative to the strand of hair; and at least one finger fastener associated with the applicator portion,
wherein the finger fastener is configured to allow the device to be fixed to at least one finger of a hand, wherein the finger fastener comprises first and second tabs configured to be placed at least in part around the at least one finger, and wherein the first and second tabs are configured to be connected to one another.
- 35. A method for applying a hair product, the method comprising:
providing a device comprising an applicator portion configured to be loaded with hair product, and at least one finger fastener configured to allow the device to be fixed to at least one finger of a hand; fixing the device to at least one finger of a hand via the finger fastener; sandwiching at least one strand of hair between at least one other finger of the hand and at least a part of the device; and exerting manual pressure on the applicator portion so as to apply a hair product to the at least one strand of hair.
- 36. The method of claim 35, further comprising moving the device longitudinally relative to the at least one strand of hair.
- 37. The method of claim 35, wherein the hair product is applied in a highlight manner.
- 38. The method of claim 35, wherein the manual pressure exerted on the container causes compression of the container.
