<p>The present invention provides a microwave heatable hair curler which is also electrically heatable, characterised in that it comprises a generally cylindrical curler body 13 having an open interior 15, an exterior 19 and opposing ends 21, 23, said body 13 being comprised of a matrix material having blended therein an electromagnetic absorptive material to produce a homogenous matrix composition which is heatable by exposure to microwave energy and which has sufficient rigidity to roll hair. The hair curler is preferably made from a blend of a polyorganosiloxane gum, a particulate electromagnetic absorptive material, a filler and a catalyst and extruded as in a cylindrical shape. The hair curler is heatable by exposure to microwave energy in a microwave oven or can be used with a variety of commerically available electric heating units. <IMAGE></p> |
