    Abstract: An apparatus to assist in modifying hair. The apparatus includes a plurality of curlers and a handle configured to removably retain the curlers thereto. The handle includes a portion that has stepped sections. The stepped sections are arranged to retain individual curlers of different dimensions thereto. The handle is releasably joined to a curler, the curler placed where desired and released to stay in place. The handle may then be used to do the same with a different curler of the same or a different size. As a result, a single handle may be used to position a plurality of curlers of the same or differing size where desired. The combination of the handle and the curlers allows a user to place curlers in locations of interest and retain them in place as a replacement for a styling tool.

  • Patent number: 5186187
    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.
