Abstract: An electric hair curling apparatus includes a housing having a transparent lid covering a base member mounting a plurality of variously sized heating posts, each arranged to mount and heat a respectively sized curler. A manually settable digital timing mechanism is provided to permit the curlers to be automatically heated at a predetermined time and for a predetermined period selected by the user. A main fiber optic cable associated with and extending from an on-off indicator light associated with the timer enhances visibility of the front panel of the housing during limited light conditions and communicates with other fiber optic cables providing visible framing of the side walls and top panel of the lid. A battery pack in the housing energizes the heating posts.
