The tools of the modern day hairstylist have increased in numbers and sophistication over the decades. With that being said, the current advancement in the hair industry has a need for a touch of the past and future. These tools still occupy a significantly important position in the hair industry. Heated hair rollers are widely desired by both the consumer and hairstylist and a significant limitation remains in the use of hair styling products. The limitations include the need for energy efficiency and applicability to various hair types and styles.
A majority of hot rollers on the market today use PTC (positive temperature coefficient) to conduct heat. There is an opportunity to design a more energy efficient system using advances in USB (universal serial bus) and wireless technology. Other hot rollers use steam to heat. There is an opportunity to design a more energy efficient system using advances in USB (universal serial bus) and wireless technology.
A majority of hot rollers on the market today limit consumers and hairstylist's ability to use the same product for various hair types and styles. Consumers and hairstylists may need to invest in multiple systems consuming more unnecessary material and space. There is an opportunity to design a more efficient system that provides consumers and hairstylists the ability to select the size, number, and material of hot rollers to provide applicability for various hair types and styles.
This invention addresses these needs.

Although the drawings depict a particularized embodiment the present invention is contemplated as configurable in any physical structure whereby the inventive scope and concept are achieved.
System 10 includes a temperature module 14 constructed and arranged to support individual hair rollers 12. Each hair roller 12 is constructed and arranged to seat into male heating socket 16 configured on temperature module 14. Each hair roller 12 includes a female power receptacle 24 accessible from one end of hair roller 12. Each hair roller 12 further includes an outer ceramic coating 18 that surrounds an inner core 20. In one embodiment, inner core 20 is a conductive metal. In another embodiment, inner core 20 is a titanium inner core. About the outer perimeter of hair roller 12 are flocking structures 22 as known in the yard. The flocking structures provide the surface by which grasps hair in the hair curling process.
Module 14 includes a plurality of temperature controllers 34. In one in embodiment, each temperature controller 34 individually controls heat to the row of curlers set on module 14.
Module 14 further includes a first indicator lamp 28 indicating power to the system and a second indicator lamp 30 indicating when a maximum temperature has been reached. In one embodiment, battery 38 is charged using input from an input power transformer 36 in direct connection to battery 38.
In use, a user will arrange each hair curler 12 in position above heating sockets 16 on temperature in module 14. The user will power on temperature module 14 and set desired temperature using temperature controllers 34. A display 32 provides visual indication of current temperature of each corresponding row. Once the desired temperatures are reached, hair curler 34 is set into position on the hair of a person. If a user needs to increase heat or charge an individual hair curler 14 female power receptacle 24 provides access to individually charge a hair curler 14.
While the invention has been described in its preferred form or embodiment with some degree of particularity, it is understood that this description has been given only by way of example and that numerous changes in the details of construction, fabrication, and use, including the combination and arrangement of parts, may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
