Heated hair setter apparatus and method

A method of operating a hair setter apparatus, the method comprising

• coupling a first retention clip to a first hair setter, the first hair setter including a longitudinally extending slot;
• aligning the longitudinally extending slot with a longitudinal edge of a heat delivery rail positioned within a housing of the hair setter apparatus, the heat delivery rail including a groove extending longitudinally adjacent the longitudinal edge of the heat delivery rail;
• sliding the first hair setter longitudinally onto the heat delivery rail with the longitudinal edge of the heat delivery rail received in the slot of the first hair setter, the first hair setter being configured to seat in part in the groove of the heat delivery rail generally within the slot of the first hair setter;
• coupling a second retention clip to a second hair setter, the second hair setter including a longitudinally extending slot;
• aligning the longitudinally extending slot of the second hair setter with the longitudinal edge of the heat delivery rail;
• and
• sliding the second hair setter onto the heat delivery rail in stacked relationship with the first hair setter.

A hair setter apparatus comprising:

• a housing;
• a heater assembly enclosed within the housing, the heater assembly comprising a longitudinal heat delivery rail mounted in the housing and having a longitudinal axis, the longitudinal heat delivery rail including a groove extending longitudinally along at least part of the heat delivery rail;
• a first hair setter comprising a central body having opposed web plates spaced from each other to define a mounting slot extending longitudinally of the first hair setter, the mounting slot configured to engage the groove of the heat delivery rail upon mounting the first hair setter thereon to slidably couple the first hair setter to the heat delivery rail for sliding movement longitudinally of heat delivery rail while inhibiting decoupling of the first hair setter from the heat delivery rail in a direction transverse to said rail;
• and
• a second hair setter comprising a central body having opposed web plates spaced from each other to define a mounting slot extending longitudinally of the second hair setter, wherein the longitudinal heat delivery rail is sized to receive the second hair setter in stacked relationship with the first hair setter.
