Abstract
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-coating assembly will exhibit properties of at least local flexibility and elastic deformability in order to permit the best adaptability to the head of the user.

A hair curler comprising:
- an outer cover having a generally cylindrical configuration and formed of a fabric having extending outwardly therefrom a plurality of thread-like bristles each having a shaped head for hooking and retaining hair;
- an inner support member positioned within said outer cover and defining a generally tubular support therefor, said support member having radial open areas for providing ventilation for hair wrapped around and hooked by said outer cover;
- and
- said outer cover being elastically deformable in all directions, and said inner support member being elastically deformable at least at local areas thereof, such that the assembly of said outer cover and said inner support member is elastically deformable to conform to the shape of the head of the user of said curler.
