Summary:An induction heating unit for inductively heating hair rollers has a base 2 which is capable of resting stably on a flat surface and a well 4 for receiving the hair roller. The well has a bottom wall and a side wall and is inclined relative to the base 2. A coil of wire 18 is disposed around the perimeter of the well 4, and an electronic controller is arranged to supply a varying current to the coil by means of pulses applied to a semiconductor switch 26. Different size rollers will always occupy a position against the side wall at the lowest part of the well. A sensor 21 is disposed in the lowest part of the well adjacent to the side wall to monitor the temperature or weight of the rollers and vary the amount of heating for different sizes of roller.
