Hair setting strip

A hair setting strip for retaining a plurality of strands of hair and thereby setting a retained plurality of strands of hair in a desired style, said hair setting strip comprising:

• a thin resiliently pliant base member in the form of a strip, having greater length than width, opposed first and second faces, and a longitudinal axis;
• a thin resiliently pliant stiffening member securely mounted on the second face of said thin resiliently pliant base member;
• and
• a layer of hair-retentive material securely mounted on the first face of said thin resiliently pliant base member, along the length of which said plurality of strands of hair are retained;
• wherein each of said thin resiliently pliant base member and said thin resiliently pliant stiffening member is air permeable, so as to permit the flow of air therethrough;
• and wherein said thin resiliently pliant base member is bendable transverse to said longitudinal axis to a plurality of curved configurations, and is thereby selectively formable to any of said plurality of curved configurations;
• and
• wherein said hair setting strip may be secured in any selected curved configuration, whereby said retained plurality of strands of hair will become set in said desired style.
