Abstract
A non-heated hair waving device for producing perm-like curls and waves in the hair. The device has a U-shaped curler with outwardly flared ends around which the hair is woven in a figure eight pattern. A unique end clip is slid onto the ends of the U-shaped curler and folded over the ends of the hair and locked to hold the hair firmly in place.
Claims9
A hair waving device comprising a U-shaped curler having generally parallel legs joined at their inner ends and open at their free ends, an end clip removably combined with the free ends of the curler to retain in place hair wound on the curler, the end clip having a first thin wall and a second thin wall hingedly secured to the first wall to form a hinged connection so that the walls are moveable toward and away from each other, a pair of openings between the first and second walls along the hinged connection between them, the openings being spaced apart a distance to receive the legs of the curler and to allow the end clip to be slid onto the legs of the curler, and locking means for securing the first and second walls together when moved toward each other to cover the ends of the hair wound on the curler.
