Wrap the top around your head, part your hair in the middle, and wrap each section around the curler.</p> It looks like a contraption that Nellie Olson would use on Little House on the Prairie to get those perfectly curled pigtails.

Perhaps this could be made for adults rather than children to help them with dieting. Can't get food to your mouth in turn lose weight. Problem is for people who love food, we'd probably outsmart it by just bending over and eating with our mouth. Darn... thought it might work!</p> Hmmm.
