| FIGURE 1 Figure 1, shown therein is an illustrative view of the present invention 10 in use. The present invention 10 has a pliable planar shield portion 12 with a built-in handle portion 14 having a body with a straight edge 16 for engaging the base of a lock of hair against the scalp whereby a curling iron 18, 20, 22 engaging the distal end of the lock of hair 24 and rotatively manipulated will engage the shield 12 positioned between the scalp and curling iron or other heat treatment hair care product. Shown are a curling iron with brush for dry hair 18, a metal curling iron 20 for dry hair and a curling iron with a heat blower 22 for wet or dry hair.

| FIGURE 2 Figure 2, shown therein is an illustrative view of the present invention 10 in use. Shown is a hair care product 18 having means for engaging and winding the hair 24 around the engagement member while heat is used to treat said hair. The use of these products, i.e., curling irons, can cause the user 26 discomfort and possible injury when these products engage the scalp. The present invention 10 forms a heat tolerant pliable shield 12 that can be placed between the scalp and the heat generating hair care product 18 to prevent the product from contacting the scalp.

 |
| FIGURE 3 Figure 3, shown therein is an illustrative view of the present invention 10 in use. The present invention 10 comprises a heat tolerant planar material having a built-in handle 14 for being grasped by the hand 28 of a user and allows the user to easily position the shield 12 using the handle to any desired angle and can be used to cover the ears while using heat generating hair care products 20.
|
 |
| FIGURE 4 Figure 4, shown therein is an illustrative view of the present invention 10 in use. Shown is another illustration wherein the shield 12 can be easily positioned against the scalp whereby heat generating hair care products 18 will engage the shield instead of the user's scalp. |
 |
| FIGURE 5 Figure 5, shown therein is an illustrative view of the present invention 10. Shown is the present invention 10 being comprised of a planar heat tolerant pliable material having a body with shield 12 and a built-in handle 14. The body 12 has a straight edge 16 opposed to the handle 14 and formed of a pliable material that can be fashioned during use into a somewhat concave shape to receive heat generating hair care products, such as a curling iron.
|
 |
| FIGURE 6 Figure 6, shown therein is a frontal view of the present invention 10. Shown is a front view of the heat tolerant pliable shield 12 having a built-in handle 14 and opposing straight edge 16 that is used to prevent contact between a heat generating hair care product and a user's scalp.
|
 |
| FIGURE 7 Figure 7, shown therein is a perspective view of the present invention 10. Shown is a perspective view of the heat tolerant pliable shield 12 having a built-in handle 14 and opposing straight edge 16 that is used to prevent contact between a heat generating hair care product and a user's scalp. The device 10 is easily manipulated to any desired angle and can be flipped over having the same properties regardless of which side is used.
|
 |
| FIGURE 8 Figure 8, shown therein is a perspective view of the present invention 10. Shown is a cross sectional view taken from Figure 7 as indicated wherein the heat tolerant pliable material can be temporarily deformed at 30, 32 by the user to a desired shape, such as for receiving a heat generating hair care products like curling irons.
|
 |
| FIGURE 9 Figure 9, shown therein is a perspective view of the present invention 10. Shown is a cross sectional view taken from Figure 7 as indicated wherein the heat tolerant pliable material can be temporarily deformed at 30,32 by the user to a desired shape, such as for receiving a heat generating hair care products like curling irons 18,20,22.
