  • Publication number: 20150327650
    Abstract: Provided is a hairdressing appliance comprising a portable treatment unit equipped with two arms configured to form a clamp provided with two surfaces positioned opposite each other that enable the simultaneous clamping of a lock of hair. The portable treatment unit comprises steam spraying means that is configured to disperse the steam from the first of two surfaces towards the second of the two surfaces. The appliance comprises a means for containing the steam dispersed between the two surfaces that are pressed together. Thus provided is a hairdressing appliance whose performance is comparable to that of hairdressing appliances with high flows of steam, yet while using a reduced flow of steam.

  • Patent number: 9149102
    Abstract: Provided is a hairdressing appliance, which includes a portable treatment unit provided with a gripping device and a heat and steam treatment system configured for heating hair and for applying steam to this hair, a base remote from the portable treatment unit, and connection device between the base and the portable treatment unit configured for supplying the portable treatment unit at least with electricity from the base. The hairdressing appliance includes a circuit board for controlling the treatment system arranged in the base and a system of communication between the control circuit board and the treatment system. The hairdressing appliance enables, for example, the straightening, curling, or crimping of hair and chiefly aims to reduce the weight and the bulk of the portable treatment unit so as to make it easier to handle during styling.

  • Patent number: 8789539
    Abstract: A hair-care device includes at least two jaws, a first jaw and a second jaw. The first and second jaw are elongated and hinged together so as to be able to shift between an open position and a closed position in which opposing working surfaces define a hair treatment region. An electric heating element is attached to at least one of the working surfaces. The first jaw includes at least one friction bar which is able to move along an adjacent working surface and which is adapted to engage with an opposing element of the second jaw to create, when the jaws are closed, a traction region which generates a traction force which exceeds the traction force generated by the treatment region as the device is moved over a lock of hair.
