Abstract: A hair styling device is described, for waving hair by forming a length of hair into a wave form. A first forming member, a second forming member and a third forming member are located within a chamber of the device. There is a first hair-receiving region between the first and second forming members and a second hair-receiving region between the second and third forming members. A first driving member drives a portion of the length of hair into the first hair-receiving region and a second driving member drives another portion of the length of hair into the second hair-receiving region. The first and second driving members move independently and sequentially so as to reduce the tension applied to the length of hair.

Abstract: This invention relates to a hair styling device (10). The device has a body (12) defining a chamber (16) adapted to accommodate a length of hair (24), the chamber having an opening (22) through which the length of hair may pass into the chamber. A rotatable element (26) is adapted to engage the length of hair adjacent to the opening and to wind the length of hair around a protrusion within the chamber. A first hair-straightening panel (44) and a second hair-straightening panel (46) are provided, the first hair-straightening panel and the second hair-straightening panel facing one another and defining a passage (50) through which the length of hair passes as it leaves the chamber, the first hair-straightening panel and the second hair-straightening panel being movable relative to one another.
