Abstract: The curling tongs (1) comprise a heating device (17), which is arranged in a tubular heating rod (25) and extends in the longitudinal direction of the heating rod (25). The curling tongs (1) further comprise a fuel container, for receiving and discharging liquid fuel, and a valve device (5), which serves for gasifying and regulating the fuel. The heating device (17) is controlled in dependence on temperature by a thermostat (6) adjacent to it. According to the invention, the thermostat is shielded thermally from the heating device (17) by a partition wall (49). As a result, the temperature behavior of the heating rod is better regulated, with excessively high temperature peaks being avoided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hair-shaping appliance (1), in particular steam styling tongs, having a tubular drum (3) which treats the hair and is provided with through-passages (2). Projecting out of the drum (3) is a dosing device (26), upon the actuation of which liquid passes out of an outlet (18) of a liquid container (19) via a liquid-channeling device (17). Formed in the drum (3) is an evaporating device (13) which is supplied with heat by a heating device (12) and comprises an evaporator surface (16) which is in thermal contact with the heating device (12). Liquid which has passed out evaporates on the evaporator surface into steam, which then passes into the steam-distributor chamber (91) and, there, flows outward via the through-passages (2).
