ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a novel adjustable diameter hair curler which is extremely lightweight, portable, and suitable for travel. The novel adjustable curler includes a sheet of a flexible material such as a plastic or fabric or backing material. The sheet has a first planar side and a second planar side opposite said first planar side. Attached to the first side of the sheet are an array of hook-type elements from a hook and loop type fastening system such as VELCRO.RTM. brand hook and loop fasteners available from Velcro Industries of Manchester, N.H. The hook-type elements are generally arrayed over the bulk of the first side. Attached to at least a porion of the second side are loop-type fasteners or a material which will stick to the hook-type fasteners. By rolling the sheet to form a cylinder so that a portion of the sheet overlaps another portion of the sheet, the hook and loop fasteners may interact to hold the cylinder's shape with relative ease and complete adjustability of cylinder diameter. Lock-in of the shape may be accomplished easily with a single hand. For storage, the sheets may be completely flattened for storage or transport in a very minimal volume.
