<p>A bobbin or spool type hair curler (10) having a cylindrical hair roller portion (12) formed between a pair of opposing parallel flanges (20) and provided with a pliable, integrally formed, cup-shaped closure member (14). The closure member (14) is axially aligned to one of the end flanges (20) of the spool shaped hair roller portion (12). The wall of the cup-shaped closure member (14) extends away from the spool shaped portion (12) and, after the hair is wound upon the spool shaped portion (12), the wall (22) may be flipped substantially 180 DEG about its point of attachment to its corresponding flange (20) in order to place the rim (24) of the cup-shaped closure member (14) proximate to the other flange (20) to thereby retain the hair around the spool shaped portion (12). The invention additionally includes a method for curling hair with the aforementioned device and, in one embodiment the hair curler (10) is provided with an axial throughbore (40) and the invention further includes a method for heating same.</p> |
