| The process of preparing hair colourant
is an unpleasant experience requiring the user to wear
gloves and be exposed to irritating fumes. |
| GX were asked by AVC, an independent
packaging company, to develop an all in one mixing system.
The dye is contained in the upper chamber whilst the
hydrogen peroxide resides in the lower chamber. By rotating
the base a seal is broken between the two chambers enabling
the chemicals to mix. Continual rotation of the base
ensures all the chemicals are used. The user only then
has to break off the seal on the nozzle to enable the
mixed colourant to flow. |
| GX designed the product using a mixture
of conventional model making and rapid prototyping techniques
before moving to low cost injection moulded production
runs. |
