A foam outer layer is applied about an exterior surface associated with the core, said outer layer further including a smooth fabric satin covering. A clamp mechanism is engageably secured about an annular surface associated with the spool-shaped core, the clamp mechanism including inwardly directed and extending serrated edges.

  • Publication number: 20030136421
    Abstract: A support made of a flexible, resilient foam material is enclosed by a fabric cover to prevent hair strands from becoming ensnared by the foam material. In a preferred embodiment, the support is configured as a foam roller which is mounted on a relatively rigid core with the core having a bail attached thereto that fits over the roller to secure hair to the roller. The cover is attached by draw strings positioned at the end of the cover. Preferably, the cover is porous and is made of a material such as satin, silk, rayon or polyester but is not limited to such materials.
