Abstract
A microwavable hair curling device comprising a plurality of hair curlers for winding up human hair. Each curler contains a desiccant material which is surrounded by an elongate casing of flexible material with opposite first and second ends, and an axial length. The first and second ends of the curler are attachable to each other. The curlers are both stored and heated inside of a microwavable carrier. The microwavable carrier insulates the curlers from heat loss, when taken out of the microwave.
Claims21
A hair curling device comprising:
- a plurality of hair curlers for winding up human hair, each curler comprising an elongate casing of flexible material having opposite first and second ends, a body, an axial length, and a fastener for attaching the first and second ends to each other to hold the hair curler in the human hair;
- a heat absorbent material contained within the body;
- and
- a carrier for retaining the plurality of curlers and permitting curlers to be removed individually, wherein the carrier includes a thermally insulating blanket made of an elongate piece of flexible material having an interior surface and an exterior surface, a length, and a center strap disposed along the length of the interior surface for holding the plurality of hair curlers along the interior surface, wherein the carrier insulates the curlers from heat loss prior to individual curler use.
