Abstract: A hair curler comprising an elongated curler body, having a circular cross-sectional configuration. The curler body has at least two curvilinearly extending portions with a longitudinal extent thereof being shorter than or equal to the cross-sectional diameter of the curler. Longitudinal planes of the curvilinearly extending portion intersect each other at an angle of approximately ninety degrees. The successive curvilinearly extending portions differ regarding their direction of curvature.
