HAIR CURLERS

Hair curlers commonly have a hollow cylindrical form around which the hair is rolled, and many hair curlers have bristles projecting from the form. The described hair curlers have a cylindrical wall of undulating wire convolutions knit together in succession. One described form of curler involves additional knit wire convolutions folded inside each end of the cylindrical wall. Another described form of curler has each end of the knit cylindrical wall embedded in an annulus. The ends of the knit wire are guarded against exposure in both forms. The described rollers are supple in that they can readily assume what may loosely be called a banana shape, they are well ventilated, they can be made boilable for sterilization, and they can be penetrated by pins or used with clips and other fasteners for holding hair wound on the curler.
