Abstract: A hair styling device or curler used to shape hair by capturing a tress of hair inside a continuous channel of the curler created by a wrapping element spirally wrapped around a central core element. The continuous channel captures the hair so it is self-holding and does not require additional clips or fixation elements to hold the curler in place. The curler may contain two elements or one element. The curler may be wrapped in either direction to accommodate styling both sides of the head and may be modularly connected to another curler to customize the length of the curler. The curler may be heated by a variety of means or may be left at room temperature for air drying. The curler may contain a blow dryer element, sensors or other smart technology to start or stop any function of the styling system.

Abstract: A permanent wave apparatus for curling hair includes a perm roller having a cylindrical outer surface with four equally-spaced longitudinal rows of outwardly projecting teeth positioned thereon. As the hair strands are wrapped around the roller, the rows of teeth act to provide additional compression of the hair by pressing it more firmly together between adjacent teeth with each rotation of the roller. Thus, increased compression of the hair strands is a function of both the number of rotations or wraps of a roller and the compacting action of the hair between the roller teeth. End papers having a longitudinal I-shaped slot opening therein enhance wrapping of the hair by holding the ends of all of the hair strands in place during wrapping, thereby eliminating fish hooks or bent ends, and enabling perfect wraps, even on extemely texturized cuts. Plastic slide clips serve to secure the first roller used to wrap a given section of hair to the scalp to provide increased volume of the resulting curl at the scalp.

Abstract: The curler has a generally cylindrical body provided with a rib that winds helically from one end to the opposite end of the body to define a recessed guide channel within which a gathered strand of hair is received when the curler is placed in use. An elastic retaining band stretches from one end of the curler across and against the outermost ridges of the adjacent convolutions of the rib so as to trap the hair strand within the recessed guide channel so as to prevent damaging pressure contact between the retaining band and the strand. In order to apply the curler to the hair strand, the strand is initially pulled generally taut and is wrapped for at least one full convolution onto a rib-free, smooth portion adjacent one end of the curler so as to overlap the free outer end of the strand and keep it from coming loose after the strand has been fully applied to the curler.

Abstract: A permanent wave rod having an elastic band to which tension is applied to hold the permanent wave rod in place against hair. Tension is applied to the elastic band by an end cap which is pivotally attached to the body of the permanent wave rod, and which is pivoted toward the body to apply tension to the elastic band, and is pivoted away from the body to release tension from the elastic band.
