Hair curler

Abstract

A hair curler that can rapidly impart a strong, attractive curl without causing damage or loss of shine, and which can reduce setting time. The hair curler has a curler body formed of a heat resistant resin to which are admixed silicon dioxide based multi-element mineral powder, formed by crushing a multi-element mineral, and a far-infrared emitting powder, formed by crushing a far-infrared emitting material.

1 . A hair curler of the type wherein an internal heater is incorporated within a curler body, comprising: 
 a curler body formed of a heat resistant resin to which are admixed a silicon dioxide based multi-element mineral powder, formed by crushing a multi-element mineral, and a far-infrared emitting powder, formed by crushing a far-infrared emitting material.    
   
   
       2 . The hair curler of  claim 1  further comprising: 
 a cylindrical curler body;    a plurality of protrusions extending radially from said cylindrical curler body;    said curler body and said protrusions formed from said heat resistant resin and mineral powder admixture.    
   
   
       3 . The hair curler of  claim 2 , further comprising: 
 an internal heater mounted within said cylindrical curler body.    
   
   
       4 . The hair curler of  claim 3 , further comprising: 
 a thermolabel on said cylinder, said thermolabel being an indicator of the temperature of said hair curler.    
   
   
       5 . The hair curler of  claim 1  wherein said heat resistant resin is a polyester elastomer.  
   
   
       6 . The hair curler of  claim 1  wherein said heat resistant resin is mixed with between about 0.5% and 5% by weight of said multi-element mineral powder and far-infrared emitting powder.  
   
   
       7 . The hair curler of  claim 1  wherein said heat resistant resin is mixed with between about 0.1% and 3% by weight of said multi-element mineral/powder and far-infrared emitting powder.  
   
   
       8 . A hair curler comprising: 
 a cylindrical curler body having a plurality of radially extending protrusions, said cylindrical curler body formed from a mixture of a heat resistant polyester elastomer blended with 0.5% to 5% by weight of a powder, said powder consisting of at least one of a silicon dioxide based polyelement mineral powder and a far infrared emitting powder; and    an internal mounted within said cylindrical curler body.    
   
   
       9 . The hair curler of  claim 8 , further comprising: 
 a thermolabel on said cylinder, said thermolabel being an indicator of the temperature of said hair curler.
