A hair curling system embodying a novel device and method for overnight use is provided. The hair curling system includes a sectioning tool and a separate curling strip. The sectioning tool may include an elastic cord forming a loop shape, wherein a stopper member is disposed there along. The curling strip may include an elongated strip of material that terminates in a collar. The collar may define a collar opening adapted to receive the stopper member. The user may use the sectioning tool to secure a predetermined section of hair whereby the stopper member may subsequently receive the collar and thus hang the attached elongated strip near the scalp of the user. The user may then twirl the predetermined section of hair using the entire curling strip. The sectioning tool is then removed, facilitating a comfortable sleep with at least one curling strip in place.

A hair styling assembly for forming a wave hairstyle includes a brush comprising a base and a plurality of bristles. Each one of the plurality of bristles is coupled to and extends away from the base and terminates in a free end. The plurality of bristles is positioned on the concave surface, and the free ends of all of the plurality of bristles forming a contour. A cover is removably coupled to the brush. The cover bounds an interior space in which the plurality of bristles and a portion of the base of the brush are positioned. The cover has an engagement wall lying adjacent to the free ends of the plurality of bristles which comprises a flexible material wherein the engagement wall conforms to the contour formed by the free ends of the plurality of bristles.

A pliable assembly and method for restraining and curling hair serves to wrap strands of hair about an elongated panel and then fold a pair of annular members about the ends of the elongated panel to restrain and curl the hair. Further, an elastic retaining band extends between the annular members and intermeshes with the notches in the annular members, so as to securely retain the annular members in the folded arrangement around the strands of curled hair. An elongated body comprises a first end, a second end, and a central slot disposed centrally along the length of the panel. The central slot receives a strand of hair for wrapping around the panel, or an object for stowage. The annular members comprise an outer circumference defined by a junction gap and an inner circumference defined by notches. The restraint band holds annular members in folded arrangement to restrain hair.

Exemplary embodiments of a hair straightening apparatus are provided. For example, a hair straightening apparatus can be provided including a first foam section including a melamine foam material, the first foam section having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, a second foam section including a melamine foam material, the second foam section having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, and a flexible middle portion provided between the first foam section and second foam section, wherein the first foam section and second foam section are configured to be pressed together and rotatable around the flexible middle portion.
