Fa-sho curler

Abstract

Fa-Sho Curlier is a curling iron with an electronically activated rod that rotates to curl hair. To use Fa-Sho Curler, the consumer would plug in the iron and allow the device to heat up as with any traditional curling iron. The individual would then utilize the lever to activate the clamp and insert the desired section of hair into the clamp as with any traditional curling iron. The rotating motion of the curling rod would then be activated by means of the power button and/or directional buttons on the iron. When the desired curl was completed, the power button would be used to stop the curling action and the lever could then be used to remove the curled section of hair.
