New technology brings long-lasting hair curling

This carbon heat transfer technology is also being used to create curls on wigs, feathers and other synthetic hair. The manufacturers claim it is so gentle that it can be used on a dolls hair.

This patented technology is found called the Twiddle Stic, which comes in carbon rods of various sizes. The candle-like rod is used with a unique technique that involves wrapping the hair around it to create a natural, long lasting curl.

When wrapping the hair, the hair cuticles are shaped exactly around the conical rod, creating ever-lasting hair coils that are immune to heat, moisture or humidity. In order to get rid of this curly hair mutation, you must actually wash it out - on purpose.

Technology discovered on a fishing trip​

This technology was discovered on a fishing trip with a carbon rod and fishing line and took 5 years to develop and patent, resulting in a carbon candle (rod) that can now deliver long lasting curls using existing heat transfer technology.

While not actually a candle, but instead holding the shape of one, the Twiddle Stic is a long, cylindrical carbon rod that comes in three sizes to create anything from loose waves to tight curls for any style desired. This long curling rod is wrapped around segments of hair strands as a standard ceramic flat iron, normally used to straighten hair, and is used to transfer heat to the process, locking in a long-lasting result.

The hair cuticle can be defined as the outermost part of the hair shaft, a hard shingle-like layer of overlapping cells, five to twelve deep. The cuticle is formed from dead cells producing scales that give the hair shaft strength as well as providing protection for it. It becomes responsible for much of the mechanical strength of the hair fibre.

Twiddle Stic is said not affect cuticle health​

Most colouring and other manual hair manipulation techniques work well, but also break down the cuticle, leaving the hair damaged and limp. The Twiddle Stic’s resilient hair curling technology maintains the health of the cuticle, and not only cements the lasting factor, but allows the cool carbon to work without damage to the shaft.

Since the carbon stick itself does not heat up, the hair comes off the stic at room temperature and structurally in-tact, the key to long lasting results. In the hands of creative genius, taking the form of a trained professional stylist, the results can be spectacular. But so, too, can a relative neophyte end-user achieve some bounce in her hair for a night on the town.

And finally, possessing a fun name for branding, the Twiddle Stic delivers lasting curls as it imparts a cool, natural carbon footprint onto the hair strands for durable and functional twirls, resulting in both a technology and curl that will stand the test of time.
