FIELD OF INVENTION
The invention concerns a device for styling hair. In particular, the invention concerns a hair curler for curling hair. The invention further concerns methods of styling hair using the device.
BACKGROUND
No-heat hair curlers are often worn for a long period of time to curl hair without heat damage. Often, eight or more individual curlers must be worn to curl a head of hair. Wrapping eight or more curlers may be time intensive, inconvenient, and a hassle. Many no-heat hair curlers have bands that must be worn around or over the head in order to properly anchor the curlers to the scalp, while other curlers require visible and unattractive clips to hold a curler in place near the root of the hair. Typically, these curlers are often uncomfortable and unflattering, and therefore, not designed to be worn for long periods of time or out in public. Further, many curlers are not adjustable or customizable to attain different curl diameters, and the length cannot be sized to properly fit different hair lengths. Many of these curlers only work with long hair.
Accordingly, there is still a need for a hair curler that can be discretely worn in public. Still further, there is a need for a hair curler that can be quickly wrapped, is comfortable to wear (especially while sleeping), allows for personalization with length and curl diameter, and is attractive to wear while still providing a natural curl. These needs and other needs are at least partially satisfied by the disclosed device for curling hair.
