Curly hair correcting iron

This invention relates to a curly hair correcting iron for correcting natural curly hair into straight hair. The iron comprises two rods (a, b) containing therein heaters, respectively, one rod (a) having its surface provided with spaced two projections (1, 2, 3) which are triangular or semicircular in section, the other rod (b) having its surface likewise provided with projections (4, 5) which are triangular or semicircular in section so as to be positioned between the two projections, whereby when hair is sandwiched therebetween, the hair is curved into U-shape or V-shape, the hair being held and pulled in the direction of the hair end thereby exerting strong drawing, heat and tension on the hair to extend the hair. To dampen pressure, it is preferably that a resilient material (6, 7, 8) is pasted onto the rod surface, and to dampen the action of heat to enhance the efficiency, it is desirable that a heating portion is formed of a material of far infrared radiation.
