Abstract

Abstract A disposable hair roller formed of a flat sheet of pliable material that may be formed into a roll on which hair may be positioned for waving or setting purposes, the sheet having a plurality of perforations to provide a selective size of cylinder, and having buttons to be received by a selected row of said openings to maintain the sheet in a cylinder during use. A plurality of rollers may be formed from each sheet, perforations longitudinally formed in the sheet between each roller, providing means for breaking off each roller from the completed cylinder for individual use. When the hair is removed from the roller, the roller may be disposed of, or reused, if desired, so long as the buttons will be retained in the button receiving openings.
