Abstract
An improved hair roller or permanent wave rod comprising a cylindrical member on which the hair is wound, and a flexible strap or band, the cylindrical member and the ends of the strap having self-adhering material which has a high resistance to shear forces in the plane of contact of the material but can be readily separated by force perpendicular to the plane of contact of the material. The rod may have flanged ends to provide an increased area of contact of the material. One type of material suitable for use in the invention is a hook and loop fastening material known as "VELCRO", a registered trademark of Velcro America.
