Abstract

A hair curler system is disclosed which includes a selected length of flexible tubing used in conjuction with one or more flare members and a male coupling member to obtain a configurable assembly for rolling and looping a curl having different incremental diameters along its length. A first flare member is adapted to be partially inserted into one end of the tubing and has an outside diameter which tapers outwardly toward the flare member free end to obtain a graduated diameter along its length. The male coupling member is partially inserted into the opposite end of the tubing and terminates in a bulbous coupling element which is dimensioned and configured to be manually snapped through a reduced diameter neck region within the hollow interior of the first flare member such that, once a curl has been rolled onto the assembly, the assembly may be looped by snapping the coupling element through the reduced diameter neck region for retention during the perming process. Second and third flare members may be selectively employed to provide progressively greater diameters along the assembly length. If the second flare member (or both the second and third flare members) are used in the assembly prepared for a given curl, the coupling member is inserted through these affixes and into the first flare member for securing the loop by engaging the coupling element with the reduced diameter neck region wthin the first flare member.
