Permanent rod kit and method

A method of setting hair utilizing a permanent rod kit having an elongate perm rod body with a smaller tight wrap and larger loose wrap sections of differing diameters by an order of 20% or more converging at a divider portion of the rod body in which both sections are cylindrical and hollow comprising the steps of,

• grasping a strand of hair by its distal ends,
• wrapping said strand of hair on the loose wrap section of the perm rod body starting with the distal ends of said hair,
• thereafter rolling the perm rod body up the strand of hair such that the hair is wrapped first about the loose wrap section of said body and then about the tight wrap section of said body and stopping the rolling process only when said body is rolled up next to the ends of the hair and next to the scalp to which the hair is attached
• thereafter securing the hair as rolled to the perm rod body,
• and thereafter applying a chemical to the hair which will cause the same to permanently conform to the shape of the perm rod body.

A perm rod kit comprising, in combination,

• a hollow perm rod body of substantially circular cross-section,
• one portion of the body having a diameter larger than the other portion for a loose wrap on the larger portion and a tight wrap on the smaller portion,
• means for removably securing a band between one end and the other end of said rod body,
• and a divider section between the tight wrap and loose wrap sections of the body,
• said divider section tapering between the two diameters to thereby provide a transition for the tightness of the wrap at that portion,
• each of said body portions having drains to the central hollow interior.

A permanent rod kit for the permanent curling of hair, comprising, in combination:

• a hollow permanent rod body of substantially circular cross-section,
• one portion of said rod body being a divider section,
• two portions of said rod body being sections for wrapping hair, where one hair wrapping section is larger in diameter than the other hair wrapping section, with the smaller diameter section being the tight wrap section and the larger diameter being the loose wrap section, and with the two hair wrapping sections extending coaxially in opposite directions from the divider section, and
• a means for securing a strand of hair to said rod body.
