Abstract
According to the process for applying reshaping to hair by use of a hair-curler, the hair-curler (1) is arranged in such a way that the perimeter along which the lock of hair (M) is rolled increases by approx. 2 to 3% when its temperature rises to pass from a starting temperature to a higher temperature which nevertheless remains lower than a relatively low limit thus avoiding the burning of the hair and/or of the scalp; the longitudinal section of the curler is sufficient to withstand the stresses imposed by elongation of the lock of hair; the lock of hair is rolled around the curler at the starting temperature so that the hair is retained against the hair-curler; the curler is raised to the said higher temperature; the hair is thus subjected to elongation ensuring an increase in the life of the reshaping applied to the hair.
