The invention relates to a cosmetic process for treating keratin fibers, preferably the hair, comprising at least the steps consisting in: a) applying to said keratin fibers a composition containing at least one substance chosen from fatty substances, non-silicone polymers and surfactants, b) applying a mechanical tension to said keratin fibers, and c) exposing said keratin fibers under mechanical tension to microwaves, at a pressure ranging from 50 000 to 250 000 Pa, in the presence of at least one solvent in vapor form on contact with the keratin fibers and without there being complete drying of the keratin fibers throughout the entire exposure to the microwaves, the solvent(s) in vapor form being entirely generated by evaporating at least one compound present, before emission of the microwaves, on contact with the keratin fibers, step a) taking place prior to step c).

A hair iron having a first arm having a first free end, a first joint end, a first heating element and a first hair heating plate on an interior surface thereof proximate the first free end. The first heating element providing heat to the first hair heating plate. A second arm having a second free end, a second joint end, a second heating element and a second hair heating plate on an interior surface thereof proximate the second free end. The second heating element providing heat to the second hair heating plate. The first and second arms joined at the first and second join ends via a joint member such that the arms can be flexibly opened and closed to bring the first and second hair heating plates into and out of contact. A first removable, heat-resistant hair iron sheath, the first hair iron sheath configured to wrap around the first hair iron arm covering the first hair heating plate. A second removable, heat-resistant hair iron sheath, the second hair iron sheath configured to wrap around the second hair iron arm covering the second hair heating plate.

The present disclosure relates to hair styling apparatuses and related methods. The hair styling apparatus includes a heated barrel defining a hair styling surface and a central axis, and a rotating member disposed at an end of the hair styling surface. The rotating member is configured to rotate around the central axis of the heated barrel. The rotating member includes one or more retaining elements configured to retain the hair and wind the hair around the hair styling surface. The one or more retaining elements projects away from the hair styling surface.

The heated hair-straightening glove is a device that is adapted to be worn as a glove, and which is adapted to be used to style or straighten hair. The heated hair-straightening glove features a steaming function, a lotion-delivery capability, and a hair brush function. The glove itself includes a powering member that is responsible for providing the electrical needs of all functions attributed with the glove. The steam function includes a water reservoir positioned on a back side of the glove, which is in fluid connection with a heating member that produces steam. Said steam is distributed via a manifold to a plurality of conduits integrated into the construction of a front side of the glove. The front side of the glove also includes a plurality of brush nodes that work as a hair brush in use with hair.

A hair straightener and its integrated switch for control and display are disclosed. The hair straightener comprises first and second clamping plate parts and the integrated switch for control and display arranged on an inner side of the second clamping plate part. The integrated switch for control and display comprises a temperature control knob assembly for regulating and controlling temperature, a display button assembly for displaying the temperature and turning on or off a power supply, and a control motherboard for digital display and electrical control. The temperature control knob assembly and the display button assembly are installed on the control motherboard. The temperature display, control and regulation functions, and the power supply switching on and off functions are centralized on the same switch key, such that the temperature can be controlled and regulated conveniently when operated by one hand and the visual information can be obtained without obstacles.

Embodiments of hair care apparatus and methods are provided generally comprising a location to provision hair care product, an applicator and a manipulator configured to enable concurrent product application and hair manipulation, and may comprise a product heater, configured to heat product provisioned therein, or be configured for use with an external heating source such as a microwave oven, and provide application of heated product at temperatures both safe for hair health and enhanced absorption. Apparatus may comprise a source of pressure, such as a pump or piston, to generate hair product flow through an applicator, and may be configured to receive product in user fillable or prepackaged product cartridges usable in the apparatus, a product chamber within the apparatus or a removable product reservoir usable in the apparatus. An apparatus may further be configured to support a plurality of manipulators, active applicators and passive applicators.
