Benefits of technology

[0010]Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide an effective and efficient technique for eyelash perming, which avoids the drawbacks of the prior art.

Problems solved by technology

However, these are straight, mostly rigid members that are difficult to bend, and usually have to be cut into lengths and pieced together around the curve of the eye.
Also, these curling rods are available in only a single radius, at the largest 5 mm, and these do not form well to the eyelash for everyone's eyes.
For women and men with loose skin on their eyelids, this type of curling rod will pick up the skin, and will not give a good result to the lashes.
This system does not work well with longer lashes, and the rods have to be discarded after one use and cannot be cleaned, sanitized, and reused.
These are not available in varieties of sizes, and do not easily match the curve of the eye for any given customer.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]With reference to the Drawing, FIG. 1 and FIG. 1A show the eye 10 of a typical customer, with upper eyelashes 11 and lower eyelashes 12 that extend generally forward from the eye. This customer is a candidate for an eyelash perm procedure. FIG. 2 and FIG. 2A show the customer with the eyelashes 11 and 12 curved upward (and downward, respectively) for an improved appearance, and to keep the eyelashes out of the field of vision.

[0023]As shown in FIG. 3, an eyelash curl kit 13 includes a number of sets of curved plastic curling rods, with one pair each in a different size from 4 mm to 8 mm diameter. There are small curling rods 14 (of 4 mm rod diameter), and intermediate size pairs of curling rods 15, 16, 17 (of 5 mm, 6 mm and 7 mm diameters, respectively) and a pair of large curved curling rods 18 (of 8 mm diameter). These are in an inlay 19 of a soft foam so they can be stored and will be ready for use after they have been sanitized and dried. The rods 14 to 18 each have an arc...

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to permanent makeup and is particularly concerned with techniques to affect the appearance of the eyes. The invention is specifically directed to a technique for applying an eyelash perm, i.e., a permanent curl to the eyelashes of a customer (or patient). The invention is also directed to a set of curved, reusable eyelash curl rods.[0002]There exists a need for a convenient and effective method for providing a natural-looking curl to the eyelashes, especially for persons whose eyelashes grow out either straight forward, or with a droop and cross into the field of vision.[0003]A conventional method of curling the lashes involves use of an eyelash curler, which presses or crimps the eyelashes. This is effective for only a few hours at most, and has to be repeated daily, or more than once a day.[0004]Providing a permanent curl to the eyelashes, i.e., eyelash perming, is practiced in many countries including those in North America,...
