Abstract
A hair roller is disclosed having a roller portion and a retaining clip. The roller has a support structure and a tubular moisture permeable hydrophobic cover. The retaining clip is omega-shaped having two halves and a hinge with a first spring and a ratchet mechanism that maintains the clip in closed. The roller support structure includes a core and two end caps or ends. The roller cover forms a cavity with support structure to enclose a first hygroscopic material. The retaining clip also includes a mass of hygroscopic material contained within a chamber formed between a frame and a second moisture permeable hydrophobic cover.
Claims22
A hair roller comprising:
- a roller portion having a tubular support including a porous hydrophobic cover, and a first mass of hygroscopic fluid material supported by said tubular support and at least partially enclosed by said porous hydrophobic cover.
A hair roller comprising a roller portion and a retaining clip removably coupleable to said roller portion;
- said roller portion having a support structure, a first porous hydrophobic cover coupled to said support structure to define a roller chamber, and a first mass of hygroscopic fluid material positioned within said roller chamber,
- said retaining clip having a frame, a second porous hydrophobic cover coupled to said frame to define a clip chamber, and a second mass of hygroscopic fluid material positioned within said clip chamber.
A hair roller comprising:
- a hygroscopic material containing liquid water, the liquid water being free to migrate throughout the material to achieve and maintain a concentration equilibrium.
