ABSTRACT:
A new hair treatment device is provided for providing lift at the root portion of the hair near the scalp to thereby create volume and body to otherwise limp or flat hair. An embodiment of such a device includes first and second arms. A pivot movably joining the arms about the pivot is provided wherein each arm includes a hair-engaging surface. A heat source is provided for at least one of the hair-engaging surfaces. Each hair-engaging surface has a width suitable for treating a portion of the hair proximate the head, wherein by treating a portion of hair near the scalp, it provides lift and body to the head of hair. A method for adding lift to a head of hair using a hair crimping tool includes the steps of selecting hair from a head of hair for treatment; and using the tool to treat at least one portion of the selected hair proximate the roots of the hairs.
