Abstract: A haircare appliance has an air inlet, an air outlet, and an airflow generator for generating an airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet. The haircare appliance has a signal generator configured to generate a signal indicative of hair contacting the haircare appliance. The airflow generator includes a first operating mode in which the airflow generator generates airflow at a first flow rate, and a second operating mode in which the airflow generator generates airflow at a second flow rate greater than the first flow rate. The airflow generator is configured to operate in the first operating mode in the absence of the signal and in the second operating mode in the presence of the signal.

Abstract: A haircare appliance is described that includes a blower for generating an airflow, a plurality of outlets through which the airflow is discharged in one of a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction, and an indicator. The indicator has a first visual state when the airflow is discharged in a clockwise direction and a second visual state when the airflow is discharged in a counterclockwise direction.

Abstract: A hair straightening apparatus having two arms pivotably coupled together and arranged to receive hair within a cavity formed between them is disclosed. A plenum in at least one arm includes an air inlet for receiving airflow from a fan unit and an air outlet for emitting airflow towards hair within the cavity. The air outlet extends along the inner wall of at least one of the first arm and the second arm and is adapted to direct airflow towards a lower edge of the arms.

Abstract: A hair straightening apparatus having two arms pivotably coupled together wherein the arms are arranged to receive hair within a cavity formed between them is provided. At least one of the first arm and second arm includes a plenum having an air outlet for emitting air towards hair within the cavity. A hair clamp including a pair of clamping members for gripping hair therebetween, wherein each clamping member is supported by an inner wall of the first arm and second arm, respectively.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hair straightening apparatus having two arms pivotably coupled together and a heating plate on a facing side of at least one arm. A central pack disposed between the first arm and the second arm and coupled to the hair styling apparatus at the hinge end and a biasing means adapted to support the central pack symmetrically between the first arm and the second arm.
