A hair extension sectioning apparatus includes a unitary body having a horizontal platform with parallel vertical protrusions forming slots between the protrusions. An adjacent guide panel also extends vertically from the platform. A unitary slotted depth selection plate is mounted to the body. The depth selection plate has parallel slats extending between two arms forming slots that fit the vertical protrusions. The perimeter of the plate has lever tabs that extend horizontally beyond the housing. A housing with a top panel extending between parallel sidewalls is mounted on the body. A method of preparing hair extensions for braiding includes removing the housing; adjusting the depth selection plate to a position identified using the guide panel; and distributing a bundle of hair extensions into the slots. The apparatus does the prep work for a braider, speeding up the process, making it more efficient and ensuring consistency.

A heater including a ceramic heater element and ceramic heat sink whereby the ceramic heater element and the ceramic heat sink are both formed from a plurality of layers of tape cast ceramic material. The ceramic heater element may be generally planar and extends within a first plane. The ceramic heat sink may extend in a second plane which is orthogonal to the first plane. The ceramic heat sink may include a plurality of fins which may be discrete. The layers of the ceramic heater element may be orientated orthogonal to the layers of the ceramic heat sink. The ceramic heater element may comprise a conductive track which may be surface mounted to a distal side of the ceramic heater element than the ceramic heat sink or embedded within the ceramic heater element.

A hair styling device and methods are disclosed. The device has a first blade section comprising a first blade section heating element having a first heating element surface. The device has a second blade section rotatably coupled to the first blade section via a pivoting device and configured to rotate about a pivot axis, wherein, the second blade section comprises, a second blade section heating element having a second heating element surface. The pivot axis is not co-planar with the first and second heating element surfaces.

A curl iron, which is an example of the hair care apparatus of the present invention, includes a holding member, a first pinching member and a second pinching member 16, 18 for sandwiching hair, a desiccant holding container 12, a reproducible desiccant 10 held in the desiccant holding container 12, and a heater 14. The heater 14 is arranged on the hair treatment surface of the desiccant holding container 12 in the longitudinal direction of the desiccant holding container 12. The desiccant 10 is granular. The desiccant holding container 12 has a plurality of holes through which the desiccant 10 and debris of the desiccant cannot pass. The desiccant 10 heated by the heater 14 releases moisture absorbed by the desiccant 10. This moisture is arranged to the user's hair together with the air heated by the heater 14 through the plurality of holes and the air vent opening of the desiccant holding container 12.

The invention discloses a steam hair straightener, comprising an upper handle and an upper cover forming the upper part, and a lower handle and a lower cover forming the lower part, wherein the upper handle and the upper cover are assembled and fixed by screws, and a first installation cavity is formed there between; the lower handle and the lower cover are also assembled and fixed by screws, and a second installation cavity is formed there between; the inside of the first installation cavity is equipped with an upper heating plate, a hot steam device, a water tank and a water pump; the second installation cavity is equipped with a lower heating plate, an infrared device, a function control board, and a 360° rotating power cord; the hot steam device is installed on the upper heating plate.

A hair iron having a first handle member pivotally connected to a second handle member, a first styling head extending from the first handle member, and a second styling head extending from the second handle member. Each of the first and second styling heads comprises a housing having a plurality of air inlets, a styling element having a plurality of air outlets, a heat element disposed in the housing, and a motorized fan disposed in the housing between the air inlets and the heat element for pulling air through the air inlets and pushing air over the heat element and through the nozzles and through the air outlets. The styling heads are oriented so that the styling elements are in a face-to-face relationship.

A hair straightening and styling appliance includes a first elongated member having a first heating plate and a second elongated member having a second heating plate, the second heating plate facing the first heating plate, the second elongated member being hingedly connected to the first elongated member allowing for the first heating plate and the second heating plate to be opened and closed away from and toward each other, respectively. The hair straightening and styling appliance has a teardrop cross-section when the first heating plate and the second heating plates are closed towards each other.

A motorized hairbrush includes a bristle securing base including a first recessed cavity formed in the bristle securing base. A handle is coupled to the bristle securing base. The handle includes a second recessed cavity facing the first recessed cavity. A vibrating motor is disposed in the first recessed cavity. A battery is electrically connected to the vibrating motor. An activation switch is coupled to the battery and is configured to activate the vibrating motor.
