M The combs 1C strips 4 and 5 to supported by the strips of elastic u'laterial or head strips 8, each of said combs being provided adjacent to its opposite ends with pairs of apertures 10 through which one of the head strips 8 passes in the manner illustrated in Fig. 3. of the arrangement of the combs G on the strips 8. that said combs may be adjusted longitudinally of said strips, (luringwhich adjustment said strips will be drawn through the apertures 10 in one or the opposite direction and because said strips are bent at rather sharp angles at the points where they pass through the apertures said combs will remain in any position with respect to the strips to which they are adjusted.

In the use of my improved hair-waving device, the appliance B is arranged upon the head of the person whose hair is to be waved in the manner illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, and the combs C are inserted into the hair in a manner to cause the hair between longitudinally of the head strips 8 to properly position said combs with respect to the head of the user of the device, and also the ends of the strips 8 at the face of the wearer may be adjusted with respect to the strips 4 and 5 by shifting the glove fastener POP-- tions 9 at said ends of said strips 8 from one to the other of the glove fastener portions 7 arranged on said strips 4 and 5.

It is obvious, in view of the construction of the improved device disclosed herein, and also because of the manner in which same is applied to the head of a user thereof, that said device may be worn with the minimum discomfort, whereby the use of said device at night while the wearer asleep is entirely feasible, and because the strips 2, 4, 5 and 8 are formed of elastic material the appliance B may adjust itself to the head of the wearer. V

While I have stated herein that certain of the strips comprising the appliance B are devieesinay be employed for this purpose.
