ABSTRACT:
A probe for twisting hair axially is disclosed comprising a pair of fingers biased together by an elasticized band seated within an annular grove around the exterior of the probe. A slot is defined between the fingers for receiving and holding a group of hair to be twisted. Also disclosed is an apparatus for twisting hair comprising a probe as described above and an electrically driven spindle for rotating the probe. The probe is aligned longitudinally with a group of hair held in the slot between the fingers on the probe. The probe is rotated to twist the hair axially and thereby form loops and folds of the rope-like axially twisted hair. The hair is removed from the probe and pinned.
