Relating to or resembling a calamistrum; connected to hair-curling or wave-making tools and techniques.
From Latin 'calamistrum' (curling iron) + '-al' (relating to). The Latin root comes from 'calamis' (reed), because early curling irons were reed-tube shaped.
Your ancient Roman ancestors had calamistral beauty tools—heated bronze reed-tubes—making them the original users of hot tools for styling, just 2,000 years before modern curling irons.
