Abstract
A curling iron is provided which is easy to assemble and, so, more economical to manufacture. The unit is molded in two snap-together halves, one half being the bottom portion (divided axially) and the other half being the top portion, and a molded spoon. The molded sections would include all the parts except for the electrical components. The curling iron is assembled by inserting the electrical components in one half, snapping the two halves together, and then snapping the spoon into place over the upper half. The molded sections are formed of a high temperature thermoplastic material. This material is transparent to infra-red rays; and, so, if an infra-red heater is used, the rays can pass through the plastic and heat the hair directly.
