Abstract: There is provided a heating element for a hair styling device, including an electrically insulating inner ceramic layer, an electrically conductive resistive heating layer disposed on and in contact with the inner layer, and an electrically insulating outer ceramic layer disposed on and in contact with the resistive heating layer. There is also provided a method for manufacturing the heating element. There is further provided a hair setting device for curling hair including the heating element a cylindrical barrel surrounding the heating element.

Abstract: There is provided a heating element for an electric air heater including an electric power source, a ceramic base, and a conductive heating film substantially uniformly deposited on at least a portion of a surface of the base and electrically connected to the power source. There is also provided a method for manufacturing the heating element. There is further provided an electric hot air blower including a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet, a fan operatively connected to an electric motor, and an electric heating element located inside the housing that includes a ceramic base and a conductive film substantially uniformly deposited on a surface of the base and electrically connected to a power source. The electric heating element is located along an air flow path of the blower for heating air flow.
