Abstract:
The subject invention relates to a new and improved roller to produce curls in a strand of hair. More particularly, an improved hair roller is disclosed which includes a longitudinally extending body having an irregular cross section. In use, a strand of hair is wound around the body in a helical manner along the length thereof such that the diameter of successive turns varies. By this arrangement, when the strand is unwound, curls having various curvatures are formed. In the preferred embodiment of the subject invention, the roller includes an intermediate solid body having an oblate spheroid configuration. In addition, two sets of rods are provided which extend axially away from the opposed ends of the spheroid each terminating in a flange portion. Each set of rods is spaced apart to define a cross sectional diameter which is less than the maximum diameter of the intermediate solid body. A plurality of rollers may be utilized to create a naturally curly hair style.
