Abstract

A curler for setting hair comprising a spool hollowed to receive a pair of reciprocable pistons in the opposite ends thereof, the pistons carrying prongs at the adjacent ends thereof in opposed conical arrays and the prongs being adapted to be projected through longitudinally extending guide slots in the spool when the pistons are moved inwardly and to be withdrawn when the pistons are moved outwardly. The prongs are elastic, preferably conically tapering, and may be arranged such that the prongs on one piston, on shifting of the pistons towards each other, slide in between and engage with the prongs on the other piston for securing the pistons against unintentional separation, thus firmly securing the spool to the hair tress on which it is rolled.
