Abstract: A hair styling apparatus for styling hair. The apparatus includes a steam generator for generating steam and one or more steam outlets in fluid communication with the steam generator for receipt of steam therefrom. The apparatus further includes an air mover for moving an airflow through the apparatus, and one or more airflow outlets in fluid communication with the air mover for receipt of an airflow therefrom. The apparatus further includes a flow diverter moveable between first and second positions. In the first position the flow diverter directs airflow to the one or more airflow outlets. In the second positions the flow diverter directs airflow to the one or more steam outlets, or to one or more further airflow outlets arranged to discharge air onto hair being styled by the apparatus in use.

Abstract: A hair styling apparatus for styling a tress of hair. The apparatus includes a barrel having a circumferential surface about which a tress of hair can be wrapped in use, a steam generator for generating steam and one or more steam outlets in fluid communication with the steam generator for receipt of steam therefrom. The one or more steam outlets are arranged to discharge steam onto a tress of hair when wrapped about the circumferential surface. The apparatus further includes an air mover for moving an airflow through the apparatus and one or more airflow outlets in fluid communication with the air mover for receipt of an airflow therefrom. The one or more airflow outlets are arranged to discharge air in a direction along the barrel so as to provide a barrier to the passage of the discharged steam.

Abstract: A hair styling apparatus comprising a body from which a plurality of spaced projections project. The projections are in the form of comb teeth or brush bristles for passing through a user's hair to style the hair. The apparatus further comprises a steam generator for generating steam and one or more steam outlets in fluid communication with the steam generator for receipt of steam therefrom. The one or more steam outlets are arranged to discharge steam onto hair through which the projections are passed in use. The apparatus further comprises an air mover for moving an airflow through the apparatus, and one or more airflow outlets in fluid communication with the air mover for receipt of an airflow therefrom. The one or more airflow outlets are arranged to discharge air at or proximate to the discharged steam so as to provide a barrier to the passage of the steam.
