Hair shaping apparatus
First Claim
1. An apparatus for shaping hair adapted to be heated by applying an external energy source to the apparatus, the apparatus comprising a cylindrical, hollow first roller defined along an axis, said roller having opposing open ends, an inner wall having an inner wall radius, an outer wall having an outer wall radius, a conductive material placed between said opposing ends and between the inner and outer walls, and a contact attached to said conductive material said contact disposed along the roller at only one of said open ends, said contact set-off from the axis a distance of at least the inner radius.

Abstract
A hair shaping apparatus is provided employing one or more hollow rollers. The rollers can be arranged in concentric fashion and electrically heated by an activator unit, wherein one end of the activator unit is inserted into one end of the concentrically arranged rollers, and the other end of the activator unit can be plugged into an electrical wall outlet. The activator unit can be reversed for storage, whereby the AC plugs which connect to the wall outlet are inserted into the hollow opening of the roller to present a low-profile configuration for ease of portability. One or multiple receptacles can be connected to an activator unit, wherein the activator unit is connected to a wall outlet in order to heat a plurality of singular or concentrically arranged hollow rollers connected to the receptacles.
