Method of setting up, caring for and later removing a temporary rasta hairstyle

A method of setting up, caring for and later removing a temporary rasta hairstyle is described. This method includes one or more of the following steps: applying a roughness-increasing substance to the hair to roughen the hair, applying an adherence-increasing substance to the hair to increase adherence of hairs to each other, and subsequently setting up the temporary rasta hairstyle by intertwining hair strandwise. The cleaning of the temporary rasta hairstyle occurs preferably using a concave sponge, without disturbing the temporary rasta hairstyle. To again remove the temporary rasta hairstyle a composition that increases the combability is applied to the hair and the rasta strands are opened and unwound or untwisted. Multi-component kits and compositions for performing the method are also described.
