A hair curler includes a flexible central lattice element 2 flanked by hinged wing elements 3, 4 and having a flattened coil spring 5 mounted thereon under tension, thus tending to roll up the curler. The curler is held open in a first embodiment by a segmented strip 6 mounted on a wing element and only rollable in one direction, whereby it blocks rolling when the wing element is folded out and enables it when the wing element is folded over the central element. Rolling is prevented in a second ...

A hair clip having a general "U" shape is provided with an arc segment on each of its two arms. The concave portions of the arc segments face one another. The arms are connected by a hinge portion. One of the arms is reinforced to control in which arm flexing occurs. The hair clip holds a generally cylindrical roller with its wound tress of hair in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical roller. The hair clip is adaptable to positively locate generally cyl...

A hair drier having a casing provided at its end with a discharge port through which hot air is discharged, a heating bar provided at the center of the discharge port and extending forwardly from the casing, and a hair setting member provided with a deep insertion hole for receiving the heating bar.

A hair roller is provided that comprises a tubular body defining an outer surface for receiving hair to be wound thereon. The outer surface is free of projections or depressions exceeding 0.010 inches in height or depth. The outer surface of the tubular body is formed of a resilient, elastomeric, compressible, and non-porous material having a Shore durometer A hardness of between about 20 and about 65. The outer surface also has a static coefficient of friction greater than about 50, measured at...

An improved portable hair braider is provided which makes use of a plurality of hair grabbing members that extend transversely to the path of movement of the device over the top of the head. The invention hereof relates to the device described and claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,038,996, issued Aug. 2, 1977, to Eronini et al. The improvement hereof is specifically directed to a mechanical means for driving the ends of a plurality of grabbing members along a path in a plane perpendicular to their axes...

Hair treatments comprising defined amounts of two ingredients, one of which being at least one decomposition derivative of keratin material such as hydrolysates of keratin material alkali salts of decomposition products obtained by oxidation of keratin material and alkali salts of derivatives at the thiol group of decomposition products obtained by reduction of keratin material. The other is at least one silicone derivative of the specific type.

A hair dryer is provided with a hot air vent for preventing excessive rises in the air temperature of its hair-winding attachment. This vent is in addition to the air blowing holes of the hair-winding attachment for drying the hair. The dryer includes a temperature-sensitive valve for opening the hot air vent at a predetermined abnormal air temperature in the hair-winding attachment to prevent an excessive rise in temperature of the air in the hair-winding attachment which may damage the hair or...

Flat and compact hair dryer of a type having a housing and an electric cord which can be wound in an outer peripheral groove of the housing. The cord is connected to a switch by means of a bushing rotatably pivoted within the housing so that the inner end of the bushing prevents the switch from moving to its ON-position from an OFF-position when the cord is wound around the housing. When the switch is in the ON-position, the bushing is prevented from rotating to a retracted position, thereby pro...

A hair-curler includes an inner tubular support member and an outer coating formed of a fabric carrying a plurality of thread-like elements extending therefrom for hooking and retaining the hair of a user. In order to have optimal use conditions in all positions on the head of the user and, if desired, a hair-curler which may be heated, the outer coating is in the form of a sheath which is elastically deformable in all directions. The inner support member is formed of a body such that the body-c...

A hair roller adapted to be heated by being positioned on a hot post of a hair setting unit, consists of a plastic, cylindrical and hollow outer body, provided with outstanding teeth on its outside surface. It is closed at its upper end and open at its lower end, its hollow portion being cylindrical in its upper part, extending to about two thirds of its length, and the remaining lower third is tapered towards the lower opening. A tubular insert, made of a resilient aluminum alloy, extends the l...
