Abstract: |
The present invention is a protective garment adapted to preventing a wearer's face, clothing, and body and becoming wet while the wearer's hair is being washed, rinsed or otherwise treated with substantial volume of liquid. The protective garment article includes a sheet member made out of a water proof substance that has a upper portion and a bottom portion. There is an opening in the upper portion of the sheet member. This means is connected to the sheet member to suitably hold opening fits around the wearer's head at the hair line enabling the face portion of the head to be on one side of the sheet and the hair portion of the head to be on the other side of the sheet. Around this opening is a sealing means that forms a water proof seal around the wearer's head. The bottom portion of the sheet is formed in a funnel like shape to enable the water or liquid placed on the head during washing, rinsing, shampooing or otherwise treating the hair to run down through the funnel to a collection hose or tank.
