Abstract

A wrap curling device is disclosed which comprises a triangular or quadrilateral shaped, dual-sided pouch which further comprises a heat absorbent material. The heat absorbent material will preferably gain moisture from the air as it is heated. The exterior of the pouch is preferably constructed of a breathable fabric that is durable enough to withstand slight stretching and rolling after being heated for short periods of time. The wrap is capable of curling an entire head of hair at one time, without prior sectioning of the hair, and can be left in the hair and worn in a bun as a fashion accessory. A method of using the wrap is also disclosed.
