  • Hair styling accessory and method of use
    Patent number: 6003520
    Abstract: A resiliently flexible and deformable hair styling accessory which imparts waves and style to hair, includes an elongated body and a head integrally formed at a first end of the body. The head includes an aperture which is configured to allow the forcible insertion of a second end of the elongated body therethrough and to thereafter retain a portion of the elongated body therein. The elongated body and head may form a unitary body constructed of a plurality of material components laminated along a longitudinal axis of the body. In use, a portion of wetted hair is rolled onto the elongated body and the second end is forcibly pushed through the aperture, retaining the elongated body and rolled hair in place. Once the hair has dried sufficiently to achieve the desired style, the inserted portion of the elongated body is withdrawn from the head aperture and the hair styling accessory is released from the hair.
