Abstract
A heatable hair roller includes a roller shell and a removable heatable rod. The unheated roller shell is secured in the hair without risk of heating or burning the skin. The heatable rod is then inserted into the roller shell, and the heatable rod heats the hair by heating the roller shell. An optional roller strap secures the roller shell to the hair. An optional expansion sleeve increases the effective diameter of the heatable rod. An optional heating unit heats the heatable rod.
Claims28
A heatable hair roller comprising
- a heatable rod having a first end and a second end;
- and
- a roller shell configured to releasably receive the heatable rod in a roller cavity, wherein
- the roller shell and the heatable rod comprise a magnetic interconnection configured to releasably secure the roller shell to the heatable rod,
- the magnetic connection is positioned at the first end of the heatable rod, and
- a thermally insulating grip extends outward from the second end of the heatable rod beyond a plane of an open end of the roller shell, wherein
- once the heatable rod is heated, the heatable rod is placed into the roller shell that is previously rolled up within the hair, the heatable rod can be removed from the roller shell once a hair curling process has been completed leaving the roller shell in the hair until a time of styling, or at any time during the hair curling process the heatable rod can be removed from the roller shell within the hair or the roller shell and the heatable rod can be removed from the hair at the same time.
