I had a vague recollection that Singer was not the first sewing machine. I then consulted A1 co pilot and joined the dots.

Men using hair rollers? I have worn my hair longish for most of my adult life. Only now wanting it shorter as it whitens.
Really mate. Did you find that traumatic.
Oh yes those too, once they are heated then they are removed from the source of heat and are then used as normal
My nephew lost every hair on his head in his 20s, he's still gorgeous though with his chiselled features and designer stubble

I did at the time Craig but after forty I couldn't give a hoot.
Often I went with a no.2 close crop but now let it grow longer. The hair gel I use bulks it out, dries nicely and holds well.
It's ironic I grew hair prolificly everywhere else. I once sported a huge black beard Ned Kelly would have been proud of.
Like a Neanderthal my back hair kept me warm in winter.
Then there was the time my youngest daughter was studying beauty therapy and suggested she wax my back. What a catastrophe that turned out to be!
Having thick black hairs there the procedure was excruciating and for 6 months after my back was sore and raw ... never again.

That's one with a wooden basis Terry mentioned correctly.

OK. My item has been around in various forms and materials for thousands of years the world over. Using it requires a basic cultural technique which over millennia used to be difficult to acquire.Jessica or Thomas, have a go.

No, my item is mass-produced today and needs to be completed by those wanting to use it to get the full benefit.
Is it used to produce fabric materials?
No. See above
Was it mainly used by women or males?
It used to be used more by men than women but today there's no difference.
Did it take a lot of time, effort and cost to make this item?
Yes, in the past it did but with the material changing it's made effortlessly and cheaply but then needs to be completed by the end-user which might take an effort.

Is it used to produce furniture?
No.
Is it a generic type of simple engineering like a lathe?
No
What sort of modern materials is it made of nowadays?
Paper
Does it need human or electrical power to operate?
No
I confess earlier on I was thinking of a weaving device.
Is it not.
Well, to sum up: The most important info is that it's made of paper, mass-produced today, while it was made of clay, stone, or papyrus in the old days. As I said, it only makes sense if it is completed by using a fundamental cultural technique that everybody should have but still doesn't have.
