  • Patent number: 5522407
    Abstract: A heatable hair clip that has a pair of normally closed jaws that can be opened by the user gripping finger grips at the end of the clip opposite the jaws. Inside of the jaws are heatable plates that are mounted for universal movement so that they can be positioned over and around U-shaped hair curlers which the user employs to curl the hair in a desired configuration. Small clips are used to hold the hair in place on the curler, and the heated clips are then placed over the curler and small clips to set the hair. An electric heating unit is used to heat the heatable plates of the clips until they are applied to the hair.
