Abstract: A hair shaping and lifting system is disclosed wherein a flexible hair supporting cap is receivable over the head of an individual whose hair is to be styled. The hair supporting cap has an outer deformable surface and a plurality of slots therein. The individual's hair is combed out through the slots so that portions of the hair lie on the deformable outer surface. The hair is moisturized and a molding cap is placed over the hair supporting cap so as to capture the hair between inner surface contours of the molding cap and the deformable outer surface of the hair supporting cap. The hair is then set by drying with the supporting cap and mold cap in place. Thereafter, the caps are removed and a hair style results in which the hair has been lifted and shaped in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
