Abstract: A permanent hair setting apparatus is disclosed wherein infrared radiation is used to heat the hair in conjunction with a permanent setting composition to a temperature of 100.degree. C. Heating of the hair occurs by winding the hair on infrared generating formers. The apparatus allows for the attainment of permanent setting with a heating time of only 5-60 seconds. Relatively dilute solutions of permanent setting composition are required, which dispenses with the need to neutralize the hair after setting. The use of the apparatus thereby permits permanent setting of the hair to be completed within about 30 minutes.

Abstract: A hair drying curler apparatus comprises a curler body and a curler clip, whereby the curler clip is adapted to snap in place over the curler body with a damp lock of the user's hair captured therebetween. The curler body is formed such that a material having a high-surface area extends about and is bonded to an outer surface of the curler body so as to allow an ample amount of hair drying expediting material to be evenly dispersed therethrough. The curler clip is configured in a similar manner as the curler body, whereby the inner surface of the clip is lined with a material having a high-surface area for hair drying expediting material to be embedded therethrough. Additionally, the curler clip is configured so as to clip a lock of hair on the curler body, and so as to expedite the drying of the damp hair between adjacent curlers. Therefore, when the present apparatus is applied to damp hair, the hair is dried and curled simultaneously.

Abstract: Application of bleach, dye or the like to selected strands of hair is facilitated by drawing each strand into one of a series of tubes, applying clamps to selected locations along each tube to close the ends or to isolate adjoining portions of the interior of the tube from each other and injecting hair treating solution into tubes which solution need not necessarily be of the same type or color at successive portions of the same tube. The tubes are formed of flexible resilient material and have sidewalls with overlapping abutted edges that define a slit that extends along the tube. The slits are normally sealed by the resiliency of the material but can be pried open by a hair manipulating tool to draw a strand of hair into the tube and can also be opened by the spout of squeeze bottle to administer the hair treating solution. Channel shaped caps formed of resilient material can be snapped onto the tubes over the slits to assure retention of fluid.
