Abstract

A hair styling device is comprised of a flexible wand and a shaper. The flexible wand surface area is covered with a high friction material. The flexible wand has a stiffness such that when the flexible wand is bent, it maintains whatever shape it is bent into. According to an aspect of the invention, this flexible wand may be comprised of some type of wire. Thus when the device is used, it may be rolled into the hair, where it will adhere due to the high friction portion, and then it is locked into place by bending of the flexible wand This allows for many different types of hair styles for many different lengths of hair. The shaper is hollow, and the hollow is of a size and shape such that the flexible wand snugly fits into and through the shaper. The shaper length is less than the flexible wand length, and the shaper surface area is covered with a high friction material.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
         1 . A hair styling device comprising;
 A flexible wand, having a width and a length, wherein said wand has a surface area, and wherein said wand surface area is covered with a high friction material, and further wherein said flexible wand has a stiffness such that when said flexible wand is bent, it maintains whatever shape it is bent into; and,   A shaper having a length, a width, a height, and a surface area, and further having a body portion and opposing end portions, wherein said shaper is hollow, and wherein said hollow is of a size and shape such that said flexible wand snugly fits into and through said shaper, and wherein said shaper length is less than said flexible wand length, and further wherein said shaper surface area is covered with a high friction material.   
     
     
         2 . The hair styling device of  claim 1  wherein said high friction material is the high stiffness portion of VELCRO™. 
     
     
         3 . The hair styling device wherein said shaper body portion has a width greater than the shaper end portion, wherein the shaper body portion width tapers down to the shaper end portion width. 
     
     
         4 . The hair styling device of  claim 3  wherein said shaper width is greater than said shaper height. 
     
     
         5 . The hair styling device of  claim 1  further comprising a hair roller, wherein said hair roller has a surface area which is covered with a high friction material, and wherein said roller is hollow, wherein said hollow is large enough to fit said flexible wand snugly into and through said hollow. 
     
     
         6 . The hair styling device of  claim 1  further comprising a hair roller, wherein said hair roller has a surface area which is covered with a high friction material, and wherein said roller is hollow, wherein said hollow is large enough to fit said shaper and flexible wand combination snugly into and through said hollow. 
     
     
         7 . A hair styling kit comprising:
 A flexible wand, having a width and a length, wherein said wand has a surface area, and wherein said wand surface area is covered with a high friction material, and further wherein said flexible wand has a stiffness such that when said flexible wand is bent, it maintains whatever shape it is bent into;   A shaper having a length, a width, a height, and a surface area, and further having a body portion and opposing end portions, wherein said shaper is hollow, and wherein said hollow is of a size and shape such that said flexible wand snugly fits into and through said shaper, and wherein said shaper length is less than said flexible wand length, and further wherein said shaper surface area is covered with a high friction material; and,   A hair roller, having an outside diameter, wherein said hair roller has a surface area which is covered with a high friction material, and wherein said roller is hollow, wherein said hollow is large enough to fit said shaper and flexible wand combination snugly into and through said hollow.   
     
     
         8 . The hair styling kit of  claim 7  further comprising multiple hair rollers, wherein said hair rollers each have different outside diameters. 
     
     
         9 . The hair styling kit of  claim 7 , further comprising a headband, wherein said headband has a stiffness such that said headband will stay in place on a wearers head, and further wherein said headband has a surface area, wherein said headband surface area is covered with a high friction material, and further wherein said headband is if a size and shape such that said headband can fit through said shaper hollow. 
     
     
         10 . The hair styling kit of  claim 7 , further comprising;
 a headband, wherein said headband has a stiffness such that said headband will stay in place on a wearers head, and further wherein said headband has a surface area, wherein said headband surface area is covered with a high friction material; and   a headband shaper, having a length, a width, and a surface area, and further having a body portion and opposing end portions, wherein said headband shaper is hollow, and wherein said hollow is of a size and shape such that said headband snugly fits into and through said headband shaper, and wherein said headband shaper length is such that is covers less than one third of said headband, when slid onto said headband, and further wherein said shaper surface area is covered with a high friction material.   
     
     
         11 . A hair styling device comprising:
 a headband, wherein said headband has a stiffness such that said headband will stay in place on a wearers head, and further wherein said headband has a surface area, wherein said headband surface area is covered with a high friction material; and   a headband shaper, having a length, a width, a height, and a surface area, and further having a body portion and opposing end portions, wherein said headband shaper is hollow, and wherein said hollow is of a size and shape such that said headband snugly fits into and through said headband shaper, and wherein said headband shaper length is such that is covers less than one third of said headband, when slid onto said headband, and further wherein said shaper surface area is covered with a high friction material.
