Abstract:
A device for treatment of a tress of hair including a lengthwise contractible cylindrical tube open at at least one end for containing the tress of hair, said tube being formed such that contraction of the tube lengthwise from a first lengthwise state to a second lengthwise state causes a transverse dimension of said tube to increase from a first dimension to a second dimension, the tube being resiliently spring biased toward a preformed state in which the tube is one of the flattened and twisted about a longitudinal axis thereof and bent about at least one axis extending transversely to the longitudinal axis so that the cylindrical shape of the tube is distorted so as; to impart a desired form to said tress of hair contained within said tube during use, the tube being resiliently manipulable from said preformed sate into said cylindrical shape.
