Apparatus for curling hair comprises first and second side portions ((12), (14)) which are secured together in a spaced apart relationship via a connector portion (16). The connector portion (16) is positioned substantially centrally with respect to each side portion. The connector portion (16) has a length of not more than 20 mm. The side portions ((12), (14)) are fabricated from a material which is both resilient and thermally conductive. The first side portion (12) is substantially flat and the second side portion (14) is configured such that it is provided with two fixed states: a first state in which the first side portion is convex in shape and bends away from the second plate; and a second fixed state in which the first side portion is concave in shape and folds over to cover both the connector portion and the first side portion. The first side portion is provided with at least one barrier member (18) extending from the first side portion towards the second side portion in substantially the same direction as the connector portion and spaced apart from the connector portion. The at least one barrier member (18) has a height and the ratio of the height of the barrier member to the length of the connector portion is at least 1:3.

A hairstyling apparatus is provided, the apparatus including: a barrel defining a hairstyling surface and a central longitudinal axis, wherein the barrel has a first proximal end and a second distal end; a heating element in thermal communication with the barrel; and a rotating member in rotating communication with the proximal end of the barrel which rotates around the central axis of the barrel, the rotating member including a rotating plate that surrounds the proximal end of the barrel and an axially extending tab from the rotating plate along a longitudinal length of the hairstyling surface over at least a portion of longitudinal length of the hairstyling surface; wherein the rotating member includes a comb member, extending from the rotating member (such as the rotating sleeve/collar) which is attached or assembled to the tab and comprises a plurality of comb teeth arranged along the longitudinal length of the hairstyling surface.

A curling iron contains: a body, a fitting sleeve, a plug, and multiple clampers. The body includes multiple rolling ribs arranged in a stepped shape and includes two stop portions. Two opposing rolling ribs on two peripheral sides of the body respectively do not flush with each other and are separated. The body also includes an orifice and a hollow portion, wherein the hollow portion has two retaining slots. The fitting sleeve includes two locking portions corresponding to the two retaining slots of the body. A diameter of the plug is equal to that of the orifice of the body, each of the multiple clampers includes a fixing portion and a clamping portion, and the fitting sleeve is fitted into the hollow portion of the body. The plug is accommodated in the orifice of the body, and each clamper clamps the body.

A hair setter apparatus generally includes a housing and a heater assembly having a first heat delivery rail and a second heat delivery rail mounted in the housing in spaced parallel relationship to each other. The apparatus further includes a plurality of hair setters. Each of the hair setters has a central body with opposing web plates spaced from each other to define a mounting slot extending longitudinally of the hair setter and configured to slidably couple the hair setter to one of the heat delivery rails along a longitudinal edge of one of the heat delivery rails. The hair setter is sized relative to the insert opening for insertion of the hair setter through an insert opening and onto the respective one of the heat delivery rails within the interior space of the housing.

A hair styling accessory includes an elongated hair board having a widened end and a narrowed end with elongated edges extending between the widened end and the narrowed end, a plurality of holes extend through the hair board from an upper surface to a lower surface. At least one end-clip having open and closed orientations and biased into the closed orientation. The at least one end-clip is designed to be positioned in the closed orientation over the narrowed end of the hair board and to grip a lock of hair against one of the upper and lower surfaces. At least one side-clip having open and closed orientations and biased into the closed orientation. The at least one side-clip is designed to be positioned in the closed orientation over one of the elongated edges of the hair board and to grip the lock of hair.

In a hair setter apparatus, a heater assembly is enclosed within a housing. The heater assembly has a longitudinal heat delivery rail mounted in the housing and having a longitudinal axis. The longitudinal heat delivery rail includes a groove extending longitudinally along at least part of the heat delivery rail. A corresponding hair setter has a central body having opposing web plates spaced from each other to define a mounting slot extending longitudinally of the hair setter. The mounting slot is configured to engage the groove of the heat delivery rail upon mounting the hair setter thereon to slidably couple the hair setter to the heat delivery rail for sliding movement longitudinally of heat delivery rail while inhibiting decoupling of the hair setter from the heat delivery rail in a direction transverse to the rail.

Apparatus for curling hair comprises first and second side portions ((12), (14)) which are secured together in a spaced apart relationship via a connector portion (16). The connector portion (16) is positioned substantially centrally with respect to each side portion. The connector portion (16) has a length of not more than 20 mm. The side portions ((12), (14)) are fabricated from a material which is both resilient and thermally conductive. The first side portion (12) is substantially flat and the second side portion (14) is configured such that it is provided with two fixed states: a first state in which the first side portion is convex in shape and bends away from the second plate; and a second fixed state in which the first side portion is concave in shape and folds over to cover both the connector portion and the first side portion. The first side portion is provided with at least one barrier member (18) extending from the first side portion towards the second side portion in substantially the same direction as the connector portion and spaced apart from the connector portion. The at least one barrier member (18) has a height and the ratio of the height of the barrier member to the length of the connector portion is at least 1:3.

An un-heated, light weight hair roller having a cylindrical outer surface for wrapping hair strands for around and a roller clip having a pair of semi-cylindrical thermal storage members. The clip is adapted to enable the thermal storage members to cooperatively enclose and conform to the roller and the wrapped hair strands to heat the wrapped hair strands while applying pressure thereto against the roller's cylindrical outer surface.
