Abstract: A heater assembly for a haircare appliance includes an air duct defining an air flow path extending from an upstream end to a downstream end; a first heater element positioned in the flow path, the first heater element having a first electrical path defined between cut-outs in a first sheet, the air flow path extending through said cut-outs; and a second heater element positioned in the flow path downstream of the first heater element, the second heater element having a second electrical path defined between cut-outs in a second sheet, the air flow path extending through said cut-outs. The thickness of the first sheet is different to the thickness of the second sheet.

Abstract: A haircare appliance has a heat source configured to emit heat, a location determination module configured to determine a location of target hair, and a guide mechanism for use in guiding emitted heat from the heat source to the location of the target hair in response to an output of the location determination module.

The heater assembly includes electrical circuitry for connection to a power source. The first and second electrical paths are provided in respective first and second circuit branches which are connected in electrical parallel within said circuitry.
