Abstract
The invention concerns a non-heating hair-curler comprising at least over 50% of its usable length one single tapered body (1) with an end of small diameter and an end of large diameter, said tapered body (1) being extended to one of its end by a cylindrical or almost cylindrical body (2, 3) of substantially the same diameter. The invention also concerns a method for hair setting.
Claims13
A non-heated hair-curler having an exterior surface, a first end and a second end, said hair-curler comprising:
- a single, hollow frustoconical body (i) extending over at least 50% of a usable length of said hair-curler and defining an interior volume, and (ii) said first end having a first diameter and said second end having a second diameter, said first diameter being smaller than said second diameter;
- said frustoconical body having at least two openings through which said interior volume communicates with said exterior surface to enable liquid to wet hair that contacts said hair-curler by passing through said at least two openings from said interior volume to said exterior surface;
- and
- a cylindrical or quasi-cylindrical body attached to and extending at least one of said first and second ends and having substantially a same diameter as said at least one of said first and second ends.
A method of setting hair, which comprises an operation of rolling hair around a hair-curler which comprises at least a frustoconical body having a pair of ends, said method comprising the steps of:
- immobilizing the strand by initially rolling approximately one and a half overlapping turns around said frustoconical body starting at one of said first and second ends;
- thereafter helically rolling the strand of hair around said frustoconical body while avoiding superposition of turns;
- finishing rolling at the root of the strand of hair at the other of said first and second ends so that said hair-curler is vertical in the fashion of a ringlet;
- and
- holding said rolled hair-curler in a vertical position with a removable clip placed so as to extend between said first and second ends.
