The fixing member (5) has a first member (5a) and second members (5b) that can be detachably joined together. The first member (5a) is arranged on the first surface sheet (23A) on the side of a first opening (21) located at a first end in the longitudinal direction. The second surface sheet (23B) has a central region (M) in the width direction, where the plurality of slits is provided, and a pair of side regions (S) each of which is located on opposite sides of the central region (M). The second members (5b) are arranged in the pair of side regions (S), respectively, so as to extend in the longitudinal direction.

A device for sealing a vertical hairstyle including synthetic strands. The device includes a chamber having a heating mechanism disposed in a bottom surface of the chamber. The device further includes a neck portion defining a portal into the device. The neck portion is at least partially lined with a liquid-absorbent material. An extendable portion is disposed between, and connects, the chamber and the neck portion. The extendable portion is extendable between a fully compressed state and a fully extended state.

The present invention provides a hair treatment method for curling a lock of hair (H) using a hair holder (1). The hair holder (1) includes a tubular body (2) which has an opening (21) located at a first end of the tubular body and an opening (22) located at a second end of the tubular body, and which is configured to allow a lock of hair (H) to be inserted from the opening (21) toward the opening (22) and to be capable of being rolled up. The hair treatment method includes an insertion step of inserting a lock of hair (H) into the tubular body (2); a rolling-up step of rolling up the tubular body (2) together with the lock of hair (H) inserted in the tubular body (2) thereby to form a roll-shaped, lock-of-hair holding body (3) in which the opening (22) is located on the center side roll-shaped, lock-of-hair holding body (3) of the roll-shaped, lock-of-hair holding body (3); a deforming step of deforming the tubular body (2) into a helix form by pulling out a portion of the lock-of-hair holding body (3), the portion being located on the center side, toward a lateral side of the lock-of-hair holding body (3); and a curling treatment step of performing a curling treatment of the lock of hair (H) while maintaining the tubular body (2) in the helix form.

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 cap devised to achieve a beach wave hairstyle without the use of a curling iron or flat iron or the application of a permanent wave solution to the hair by providing a flexible cap body and flexible spiral hairstyling rods insertable within the cap body and interconnected by drawstrings disposed through a longitudinal conduit of each hairstyling rod. As the drawstrings are pulled away from the cap body through respective apertures in a casing and are secured together, the hairstyling rods, attached to the wearer's hair strands, collapse condition to scrunch the wearer's hair for a beach wave hairstyle.

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.

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 hair curler is provided and can include a cap having a central opening and a shield arranged around the central opening. The hair curler can also include a base having an annular collar with a central opening therein and a flange extending radially from the annular collar. The flange can be configured to mate with the shield such that the base and the cap enclose the entrapment area and such that the central opening in the cap can be aligned with the central opening in the base. Related styling assemblies and methods of use are also provided.
