Abstract:
A ceramic-containing sleeve or a, ceramic-based coating on the surface of a roller or curler. The coating or sleeve comprises a mixture of components including, substantially, silicon oxide. While the present invention rollers emit ions without application of heat, heat may be applied to a roller via a conventional blow dryer or other hair dryer to achieve other results and to enhance ion emission. The ceramic materials also provide enhanced performance in terms of heat transfer, retention and distribution.
