The present disclosure relates to hair styling apparatuses and related methods. The hair styling apparatus includes a heated barrel defining a stationary hair styling surface, and a rotating member configured to rotate around the stationary hair styling surface. The rotating member includes a tab fixedly extending along a longitudinal length of the stationary hair styling surface over less than an entire longitudinal length of the hair styling surface to gather and wind a user's hair around the stationary hair styling surface without clamping onto the wound hair.

A barrel for a hair styling appliance, the barrel comprising: an external surface; and a heater-mounting surface inside the barrel; wherein the heater-mounting surface is integrally formed with the external surface. For example, the barrel may be formed as a single extruded metal component. Also provided is a barrel assembly comprising such a barrel, and one or more heater elements mounted on the heater-mounting surface. Also provided is a hair styling appliance (e.g. a curling tong, curling wand or hot iron brush) comprising such a barrel assembly. A heater element for a hair styling appliance is also provided, the heater element comprising a substrate having a conductive track for generating heat upon application of an electrical current thereto, and an integral temperature sensor. Manufacturing methods in respect of the above are also provided.

A hair curler comprises: a lower clamp body, comprising a heating seat for curling hair and a pair of grooves disposed at opposite sides of the heating sea; an upper clamp body, movably connected to the lower clamp body, the upper clamp body comprising an opening corresponding to the heating seat and protrusions disposed at opposite sides of the opening, the protrusions being aligned with the grooves respectively when the upper clamp body is closed to the lower clamp body; wherein the lower clamp body comprises a impeller for generating an airflow, and each groove comprises a bottom which defines vent holes to allow the airflow to enter the groove. While curling hair by the hair curler, air is accelerated by the impeller, and the accelerated air flows to the grooves via vent holes, timely cooling and protecting the hair, thereby enabling the hair to be quickly styled.
