Abstract
There is provided a compact apparatus for heating and setting hair, including a housing, a central wall in the housing defined by two spaced-apart panels, a plurality of elongated members passing through the central wall perpendicularly and extending to both sides thereof within the housing, and a flexible rope-like heating element between the two spaced-apart panels and wound around each of the elongated members, in order to provide heat thereto. The apparatus includes a number of hair-curling cylinders of conventional construction adapted to fit over the ends of the elongated members. By providing this construction, a single elongated member serves as two heating posts for two of the hair-curling cylinders, and the overall construction is relatively compact compared to prior devices. A reservoir for water is situated in the central wall, and heat from the heating element vaporizes the water to provide steam within the housing around the curling cylinders on the elongated members.
