A hair styling device features a headband worn along a hairline of a user's head and spanning around a crown thereof, an ornamental appearance displayed on a front portion of the headband across the forehead along a front hairline, and a flexible hair roller at a rear portion of the headband to create an updo hairstyle at a rear hairline across the back of the user's head. The ornamental appearance of the front portion and the updo hairstyle cooperatively impart a stylistic effect around the crown of the user's head when worn, while a wound state of the hair around the rear portion imparts a styling action that leaves behind a different hairstyle effect when the headband is removed. The styling action may impart a straightening effect on naturally curly hair, or a curling effect on naturally straight hair.

The invention relates to a device (1) for receiving at least one strand of hair (200) or other keratinous fibers (mane, hair), having at least one strand-receiving surface (100, 102, 104, 106, 108) configured to enable the formation of, from at least one strand of hair (200) or other keratinous fibers, at least two undulations (202-208) having winding axes that are not collinear with one another and/or of different diameters, the device (1) comprising a distal end (1a) and a proximal end (1b). The device (1) is made, at least in part, of hemp.

The invention also concerns a method for shaping and treating keratin fibers such as hair.

Fiber supports include a base and hydrophilic polyurethane foam that directly contacts the fibers while being elastic and flexible for reshaping. Hydrophilic polyurethane foam has a density to hold over nineteen times its weight in liquids that absorb into the fibers in direct contact with the foam over time. Supports may be any shape or size, and may be rigid or flexible. Cylindrical shapes are useable to permit winding, curling, or spiraling of fibers about the support. The fibers are directly affixed to the foam for support and shaping. A clasp may be clamped or snapped over the fibers and foam support to compress the two directly together. If the support is flexible, the foam may be reshaped with the fibers, holding the shape during wearing or drying. During such wearing or drying, liquid held in the foam may be absorbed directly into the fiber, resulting in favorable chemical treatment.

This hair-rolling device provides users with a concealed, aesthetically pleasing, versatile, convenient, affordable, hair friendly method of curling hair and increasing wave span comfortably overnight. The night roller is innovative in its efficiency and results due to the simplicity and hair-friendly qualities of its two components. The inventor came to the realization that revolutionizing such a classic item as the hair roller and making it more effective, requires simplifying the device by eliminating all hair damaging elements.

Disclosed herein are devices and methods for styling hair. A hair styling device is described with a cylindrical body comprising a semi-compressible core, a smooth layer surrounding the semi-compressible core, a proximal cylindrical top end, and a distal cylindrical boom end, wherein the distal cylindrical bottom end is parallel to the proximal cylindrical top end configured on each end of the cylindrical body. The hair styling device further comprises a strap comprising a first end, and a second end, wherein the first end of the strap is fixedly attached to the cylindrical body adjacent to the proximal cylindrical top end and the second end of the strap is configured to be helically wound around the cylindrical body and removably attached to the cylindrical body adjacent to the distal cylindrical bottom end. Methods are described that allow use of the hair styling devices to dry hair and style hair either curled or straight.

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.
