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.

Abstract: A spiral rod device is provided to form permanent wave hairstyling curls along the entire length of the client's hair. The spiral rod device includes an elongated unitary solid rod with a plurality of spaced apart open slots extending along the length and cross-section of the elongated unitary solid rod, and a pair of end caps.

Abstract: The invention relates to hair rollers and provides for the use of a cylindrical tube rolled from a rectangular perforated sheet of flexible material, the sheet having an outer edge which overlaps a portion of the tube. The tube has a pair of opposing transverse edges, each of which is engaged within a spiral groove formed in opposing caps. The caps are rotationally mounted on an elongated shaft, such that rotation of the disks causes advancement of the transverse edges within the sprial groove, changing the diameter of the outer tube, as desired. An indicia on the outer surface of one or two caps allows to select the diameter of the tube when rotating the caps. The shaft has slotted projections on opposing ends with one or both of which an elongated resilient band is engaged.

Abstract: The method for making a deformable hair curler includes forming a cylindrical plastic body section by cross-cutting a peripherally sealed extrusion formed sealing cord, inserting a formative pliable core into the plastic body section, sealing any openings formed in the plastic body section during the insertion of the pliable core, and structuring the outer surface of the plastic body section so that air circulating channels are formed therein. The pliable core may be heated before it is inserted into the plastic body so that the plastic body and pliable core are bonded together. The deformable foam curler is constructed exclusively of a deformable plastic body and a formable pliable core. The pliable core may be made of any material that can easily be bent and retain a bent shape.

Abstract: A disposable permanent wave rod which is comprised of an imperforate generally cylindrically-shaped member formed of a readily wettable rigid polymeric material, wherein, due to the inherent properties of wettable polymers, greater adherence is found to exist between the wettable permanent wave rod and the wetted hair and end paper which is wrapped theraround, thereby preventing slippage of the end paper from around the permanent wave rod. Such rods may be secured to a person's head by connecting each rod to an adjacent rod through the use of rubber bands or an elongated flexible but rigid thin strip of material, which may be tacked or adhesively secured to each adjacent rod.

Abstract: A hair curler system is disclosed which includes a selected length of flexible tubing used in conjuction with one or more flare members and a male coupling member to obtain a configurable assembly for rolling and looping a curl having different incremental diameters along its length. A first flare member is adapted to be partially inserted into one end of the tubing and has an outside diameter which tapers outwardly toward the flare member free end to obtain a graduated diameter along its length. The male coupling member is partially inserted into the opposite end of the tubing and terminates in a bulbous coupling element which is dimensioned and configured to be manually snapped through a reduced diameter neck region within the hollow interior of the first flare member such that, once a curl has been rolled onto the assembly, the assembly may be looped by snapping the coupling element through the reduced diameter neck region for retention during the perming process.
