Layer it dry roller

Abstract

A hair roller designed to divide the curl into layers allowing for better penetration of air throughout the hair. This, in turn, leads to shorter drying times.

Description

[0001]This application is preceded by Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 004,032.BACKGROUND INFORMATION[0002]Few changes have been made to the traditional plastic hair roller since it was first developed decades ago. The difference that the “Layer It Dry Roller” offers from the traditional roller is that it contains several rollers intertwined within one (see FIG. 9). This multi-tiered roller allows the curl to be divided into layers which enables the air to penetrate the hair more efficiently. The air is allowed to travel through the inside and the outside of the curl at the same time rather than solely blowing on the outside of the hair working its way to the inside. The product found to be the most similar to the “Layer It Dry Roller” was the Self Winding Curler (U.S. Pat. No. 3,590,829) patented in 1971. The Objective of this roller was to achieve superior body in the client's hair and to produce different curl effects in the hair. However, prior attempts at achieving a succe...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The \"Layer It Dry Roller\" is a new type of hair roller that solves several problems with traditional rollers. It contains several layers of intertwined rollers, allowing air to penetrate the hair more efficiently. The roller is made of rigid plastic, which allows for easy re-use and practical tension on the curl. The roller has been designed with the same features as the traditional roller, including a smooth and perfectly round curl in the hair. The roller has reinforced corners to ensure a smooth and perfectly round curl. The roller also has hooks and loops to connect the layers together and keep them open at a specific distance. The end clip holds the roller in place and prevents it from unraveling. Overall, the \"Layer It Dry Roller\" solves problems with traditional rollers and provides a better and more effective tool for curling hair."

Problems solved by technology

However, prior attempts at achieving a successful layered roller in the past have failed for the following reasons:1) The design of the legs or projections between each roller revolution (FIG. 1) would cause impressions in the hair.

This requires all of the layers to lie on top of each other rather than creating open space between each layer.3) The multiple projections acted as a slight obstacle to air penetration.4) Once the flexible material was rolled, it tended to retain its curled shape making its re-use impractical.5) Roller does not roll tightly against the scalp allowing for greater tension at the roots.

This will create problems for individuals with kinky or wavy hair.

First the roller is not made of flexible material.
