1. A hair-coloring applicator particularly useful for touching-up hair along a hairline of a subject, the applicator comprising: a quantity of hair-coloring composition;a container within which said quantity of a hair-coloring composition is stored, said container including an outlet at one end of said container through which said hair-coloring composition is dispensed as a mist;an attachment attached to said one end of said container; anda shield projecting outwardly from said one end of the container including said outlet;wherein: i. one side of said attachment is formed with a slanted top wall terminating in a top rim formed with a projection for receiving said shield; andii. said shield includes a plurality of closely spaced teeth having inner surfaces to be pressed against the subject's scalp with the root regions of the hairs passing through the spaces between said teeth and outer surfaces to be exposed to the hair-coloring composition dispensed as a mist from the container, such that the mist-dispensed hair-coloring composition coats the root regions of the hairs passing through the spaces between said teeth while said teeth substantially block the hair-coloring composition from reaching the individual's scalp. 2. The applicator of claim 1, wherein said shield is carried by an attachment attached to the end of the container including said outlet. 3. The applicator of claim 2, wherein said outlet in the container is a nozzle for dispensing said hair-coloring composition in the form of a hair-coloring spray, and said attachment includes an opening aligned with said nozzle. 4. The applicator of claim 3, wherein said attachment further includes a push button controlling the dispensing of the hair-coloring composition via said nozzle, and the opening in said attachment aligned with said nozzle is located between said shield and said push button. 5. The applicator of claim 1, wherein said spaced teeth of the shield are parallel to the longitudinal axis of said container. 6. The applicator of claim 1, wherein said plurality of spaced teeth are arrayed in a generally linear array substantially parallel to, but laterally spaced from, the longitudinal axis of said container. 7. The applicator of claim 1, wherein said teeth are less than 2 mm in width, thickness and spacing. 8. A hair-coloring applicator particularly useful for touching-up hair along a hairline of a subject, the applicator comprising: a quantity of hair-coloring composition;a container within which said quantity of a hair-coloring composition is stored, said container including an outlet at one end of the container through which said hair-coloring composition is dispensed as a mist; andan attachment attached to the end of the container carrying said outlet, said attachment including a shield, said attachment being formed with a slanted top wall terminating in a top rim formed with a projection for receiving said shield, said shield having a plurality of spaced parallel teeth which pass between the subject's hair to expose the hair root regions passing through the spaced teeth, while the spaced teeth substantially block the mist-dispensed hair-coloring composition from passing through to the subject's scalp. 9. The applicator of claim 8, wherein said outlet in the container is a nozzle for dispensing said hair-coloring composition in the form of a hair-coloring spray, and said attachment includes an opening aligned with said nozzle, and a push button controlling the dispensing of the hair-coloring spray via said nozzle. 10. The applicator of claim 9, wherein said push button and said opening in the attachment are located on a surface of said attachment which slants towards said shield. 11. The applicator of claim 8, wherein said spaced teeth are generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of said container. 12. The applicator of claim 8, wherein said spaced teeth are arrayed in a generally linear array substantially parallel to, but laterally spaced from, the longitudinal axis of said container. 13. The applicator of claim 8, wherein said teeth are less than 2.0 mm in width, thickness and spacing. 14. The applicator of claim 8, wherein said applicator further comprises an outer housing enclosing said container and serving as a handle for gripping and manipulating the applicator. 15. A method of touching up hair roots of an individual, the method comprising: a) providing a container within which a quantity of a hair-coloring composition is stored, an attachment attached to said one end of said container and a shield formed of a plurality of closely spaced teeth, the attachment being formed with a slanted top wall terminating in a top rim formed with a projection for receiving said shield, the shield including an inner side facing in one direction and an outer side facing in the opposite direction; andb) when the inner side of the shield is oriented towards and pressed against the individual's scalp so that root regions of hairs to be touched-up are received in the spaces between the teeth, spraying said hair coloring composition from said container over the outer side of the shield to produce a mist over the outer side such that: i) the hair coloring composition colors the root regions of the hairs passing through the spaces between the teeth, whileii) the closely-spaced teeth of the shield blocks passage of the hair coloring composition from the outer side to the scalp via the inner side of shield. 16. The method of claim 15 wherein the hair-coloring composition is a quick drying composition. 17. The method of claim 15 wherein the hair coloring spray composition includes a temporary colorant. 18. The system of claim 15 wherein the hair coloring spray composition is a coating composition configured to coat hair. 19. The method of claim 15 wherein the hair coloring spray composition does not flow within teeth of the shield. 20. The method of claim 15 wherein the teeth include bases and tips to define base and tip ends of the shield, and the sprayed hair coloring composition passes within the ambient environment and over the outer side of the shield from the base end of the shield towards the tip end of the shield. 21. The method of claim 15 wherein the teeth include bases and tips to define a longitudinal direction of the shield, and the sprayed hair coloring composition enters the ambient environment in a direction that is primarily oriented along the longitudinal direction of the shield. 22. The method of claim 15, wherein said teeth are less than 2.0 mm in width, thickness and spacing. 23. The method of claim 15, wherein said spaced teeth are generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of said container. 24. The applicator of claim 15, wherein said spaced teeth are arrayed in a generally linear array substantially parallel to, but laterally spaced from, the longitudinal axis of said container.
