HYDROPHILIC POLYURETHANE STRUCTURES AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME
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.
Night Rollers
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.
DEVICES AND METHODS FOR STYLING HAIR
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.

Hair styling device imparting an updo hairstyle when worn and a different curled or straightened hairstyle when removed
A hair styling device features a headband worn along a hairline of a user's head and spanning around a crown thereof, preferably with an ornamental appearance displayed on a front portion of the headband across the along a front hairline to enable daytime wearing thereof in social settings. A rear portion of the headband is embodied by a bobble strand comprising a series of ball-shaped bobbles sequentially arranged therealong to span in series across the back of the users head, where the user's hair is able to be wrapped around said bobble strand at a rear of the hairline. This wound state of the user's hair around the said strand of bobbles imparts a curling action that leaves behind a curled hairstyle on the user's hair when the headband is removed.

PLIABLE ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR RESTRAINING AND CURLING HAIR
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.
HAIR ROLLER ASSEMBLY APPARATUS AND METHOD OF USE
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a hair roller which can be separated into a pair of half-cylindrical roller pieces, pairs of half-cylindrical roller pieces, and a method of storing half-cylindrical roller pieces by nesting the half-cylindrical roller pieces. The hair roller of the invention includes a whole cylindrical body separable along a vertical axis into half-cylindrical roller pieces which include a plurality of mating devices configured to selectably couple the half-cylindrical roller pieces to form the whole cylindrical body, wherein the half-cylindrical roller pieces are capable of being nested. The pair of half-cylindrical roller pieces of the invention are identical in shape, which include a plurality of tabs and orifices, where the tabs have protuberances which protrude into a corresponding orifice when the lateral edges of the pair of roller pieces are aligned.
