Heretofore, persons doing their own hair styling with the help of hair spray products have found that not only can these sprays cause eye irritation and risk of harm but they may cause damage to contact lenses. Being able to observe the progress of the styling continuously is very important in seeing exactly how the hair is going to be finished, yet without special protection this can only be done at considerable risk of getting hair spray in the eyes.
There is presently no satisfactory solution to this frustrating dilemma: closing the eyes interferes with proper control over the styling, using one hand as a shield is disadvantageous since both hands need to be free to style and spray, enlisting the aid of another person is seldom feasible, and known eye protective devices either fail to provide adequate protection or else interfere excessively with the hair styling.
