Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a curling iron with a pointed tip for easy parting and sectioning of hair before curling it. The tip attachment can be used with existing curling irons and makes the process safer and easier. The curling iron also includes a pressure fit end for fitting over the first predetermined end of the curling iron. The invention simplifies the process of curling hair and reduces the risk of injury. The curling iron can be used for parting, sectioning, sliding, and combination of these purposes."

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, curling hair is time consuming and difficult.
As a user attempts to section the hair for curling, such user may accidentally ruin the previously curled sections.
Constantly setting the curling iron down and picking it back up often results in the user burning his or her hands.
