Thin sheets of metal foil are dispensed one-sheet-at-a-time by a dispenser. Differentially-sized stacks of foil sheets are held in correspondingly sized open-top reservoirs in a container. Removable paddles fit within the open tops of the container\s reservoirs. The paddles have contact adhesive, typically non-drying electrician\s clay, on their underside surfaces. The uppermost foil sheets within the reservoirs adhere to the paddles. Each paddle and its adhered foil sheet is extracted from the container, turned over, and maneuvered, foil sheet uppermost, into position below a lock of a subject\s hair. In this position the hair lock is treated, typically by brushing with liquid hair coloring, while the foil sheet pools the liquid in contact with the hair. The thin foil sheet is peeled from its paddle carrier and folded around the hair lock. The treatment liquid is maintained in contact with the hair lock by the folded foil sheet. Each paddle is replaced upon its corresponding reservoir in order to adhere and to deliver successive foil sheets into the hair treatment process.

A method of dispensing sheets one at a time from a dispenser comprising: stacking a plurality of sheets substantially flat within a open-topped reservoir of complementary configuration defined by and within a container of sheets; pressing a paddle that bears contact adhesive upon an underside surface that is, in a paddle end region, substantially coextensive with a sheet, downwards against an uppermost one of the stacked plurality of sheets until the uppermost one sheet is releasably adhesively affixed to the paddle; lifting the paddle, and the uppermost one sheet adhesively affixed thereto, from off the stacked plurality of sheets; transporting the paddle and the sheet adhesively affixed thereto to a position remote from the reservoir, and no longer contacting the reservoir or any remaining ones of the stacked plurality of sheets; turning the paddle over so that the one sheet adhesively affixed to the paddle is uppermost and is substantially supported on the paddle; and pulling the one sheet off the paddle and from the contact adhesive upon the surface of the paddle.
