9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first metering layer extends upon at least two portions of the control zone.
10. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first fin, the second fin, or the first fin and the second fin comprises one or more modifications selected from the group consisting of embossments, imprints and combinations thereof.
11. A kit for creating hair bundle effects comprising at least one device according to claim 1 and a hair treatment composition, wherein the hair treatment composition is selected from the group consisting of highlighting compositions, dyeing compositions, styling compositions, perming compositions and combinations thereof.
12. The kit according to claim 11 wherein the kit further comprises one or more marking tools for marking and separating a hair bundle from the remaining hair.
13. The kit according to claim 11 , wherein the kit further comprises an implement; wherein the implement comprises a plurality of marking tools for marking and separating a hair bundle from the remaining hair; wherein each tool of the plurality of tools is independently associated to but removable from the implement and wherein each of the tools is substantially flat.
14. A device for creating hair bundle effects to a hair bundle, the device comprising
a. a first portion and
b. a second portion;
wherein the first portion comprises a cavity for comprising a hair treatment composition;
