Curlers are cylindrical objects around which hair is wound to create curls or waves: She slept in curlers.

They come in various materials—foam, plastic, heated ceramic.

The word also refers to people who play curling, the ice sport where players slide stones toward a target: The curlers swept the ice furiously.
