Abstract
A device for styling hair includes a flexible, relatively long body portion having a separating opening therein through which to receive a user's hair. This body portion has clasp portions extending from either end which can be closed into a corresponding clasp by the insertion of one portion in the other so as to prevent rotation of one with respect to the other, and to engage a detent arrangement therebetween. A suitable surface finish on a synthetic polymer material for the side members provides a desired coefficient of friction on that surface with respect to hair thereagainst. A styling enhancement maybe provided as part of the hair styling device.
