Abstract: This self-operable portable hand hair tamer for short hair particularly rebel short hair, has a central hot air blowing dryer having a narrow nozzle outlet to blow at high velocity a narrow converging jet of hot air. A pair of hollow arms have one of their ends rotatably mounted to the blowing dryer, for rotational displacement of the narrow nozzle with respect to the arms and to sandwich the nozzle between the arms. The arms at their other end, are provided with a rotating curling brush to grasp and loop short hair. A link also bridges the arms. The curling brushes are operatively connected to the rotational displacement of the nozzle with respect to the arms, to rotate the curling brush at a given angle selected between 80.degree. to 110.degree. from an original position.

Abstract: Presented is a permanent wave rod formed from an elongated elastically flexible synthetic resinous body devoid of embedded bendable wire and symmetrical about its longitudinal axis and having push-to-engage and pull-to-disengage cooperable fastener elements associated with opposite ends whereby a tress of hair may be spirally wound on the elongated body and the opposite ends engaged to form the elongated body into an ovate configuration to retain the tress of hair on the rod body.
