Abstract
An improved permanent wave, mandrel device for hair, in which a small diameter rod forms a mandrel for rolling a tight curl of hair, the hair curl being pressed against the rods by an elastic cord stretched from one end of the rod to the other, and in which the improvement embodies the addition of a sponge member, preferably in the form of a cylinder surrounding the elastic cord and a portion of which is positioned between the cord and the curled hair to distribute the applied pressure more widely and prevents breakage of hair strands.
Claims10
A permanent wave, mandrel device for hair, comprising a rod having an outside surface on which hair is to be rolled to form a curl, an elongated pressure element extending along said rod and adapted to press the hair curl tightly against the outside surface of the rod to thereby maintain said hair in a curl about said rod, and a pad adapted to be positioned between the pressure element and the outside surface of the curl and extending substantially along the length of said rod to cushion the pressure applied to the outside surface of the curl by the pressure element so as to prevent damage to hair strands.
