In a hair setter apparatus, a heater assembly is enclosed within a housing. The heater assembly has a longitudinal heat delivery rail mounted in the housing and having a longitudinal axis. The longitudinal heat delivery rail includes a groove extending longitudinally along at least part of the heat delivery rail. A corresponding hair setter has a central body having opposing web plates spaced from each other to define a mounting slot extending longitudinally of the hair setter. The mounting slot is configured to engage the groove of the heat delivery rail upon mounting the hair setter thereon to slidably couple the hair setter to the heat delivery rail for sliding movement longitudinally of heat delivery rail while inhibiting decoupling of the hair setter from the heat delivery rail in a direction transverse to the rail.

A hair styling device features a headband worn along a hairline of a user's head and spanning around a crown thereof, an ornamental appearance displayed on a front portion of the headband across the forehead along a front hairline, and a flexible hair roller at a rear portion of the headband to create an updo hairstyle at a rear hairline across the back of the user's head. The ornamental appearance of the front portion and the updo hairstyle cooperatively impart a stylistic effect around the crown of the user's head when worn, while a wound state of the hair around the rear portion imparts a styling action that leaves behind a different hairstyle effect when the headband is removed. The styling action may impart a straightening effect on naturally curly hair, or a curling effect on naturally straight hair.

The present invention relates to a photoreactive hair treatment apparatus which enables the styling of a desired shape, the prevention of damages to hair and the treatment of hair to be glossy and resilient, and can reduce a treatment time of an agent used for treating hair. The photoreactive hair treatment apparatus comprises: a light source for emitting light; and a power supply unit for supplying power to the light source, wherein the light source is arranged to emit the light toward hair onto which a hair treating agent is applied. As such, the present invention has the effect of enhancing hair treatment efficiency by reducing the acting time in which the hair treating agent has effects on the hair.

A hair styling aid, in particular for curling hair, is described. The hair styling aid includes a handle and a housing connected to the handle, the housing having: guide means for receiving a length of hair to be styled, the guide means being provided by an aperture in the housing through which the length of hair is admitted into the housing in use; a rotatable element in the housing, rotatable relative to the guide means; a motor for rotating the rotatable element in a clockwise direction or in an anticlockwise direction; and an elongate member around which, in use, the length of hair is wound by the rotatable element; wherein the rotatable element has two hair-pushing surfaces, one of the hair-pushing surfaces being oriented for pushing hair when the element is rotated clockwise and the other of the hair-pushing surfaces being oriented for pushing hair when the element is rotated anticlockwise in use.

Various exemplary attachments for hair care appliances and methods of using attachments for hair care appliances are provided. In general, a hair care appliance in an exemplary embodiment is in the form of a hair dryer that has an air inlet and at least one air outlet, and various internal components that facilitate use and operation of the hair care appliance, such as a fan, motor, and heater. In an exemplary embodiment, the hair care appliance is configured to releasably couple to an attachment so that the hair care appliance and the attachment are in electrical communication.

A heat-retaining clip assembly is provided. The heat-retaining clip assembly includes a convex surface nested in a concave surface in a closed position, wherein the convex and concave surfaces are pivotably connected to move between the closed position and an open position. The convex surface has a higher thermal conductivity than the concave surface. The present invention includes a system providing an arcuate heating element that can be sandwiched between the convex and concave surfaces in the closed position, while the convex surface conducts most of the heat. Then the heat-retaining clip assembly may be moved in the open position from the heating element to a user's hair so that the heat stored in the convex surface transfers to the hair to form textured waves in the hair after the clip is moved back to the closed position.

Disclosed is a curling device, which includes a curling component and a handle component, wherein the curling component includes two clamping parts arranged oppositely and a sleeve concentrically sleeved on the clamping parts, wherein the sleeve has a placement groove extending axially, the clamping part comprises a shell with an axial mounting groove, a heating plate component mounted in the mounting groove, and a metal plate fixed to the shell; and wherein two opposite heating plate components provide a perm working surface, and a cooling channel provided between the back surface of the shell and the metal plate is in fluid communication with the handle component, one or more air holes are provided on the metal plate, and the outer peripheral surface of the metal plate has a smooth layer such that a cylindrical and smooth curl cooling surface is formed by two opposite metal plates.

A power inverter is described that includes an input for connection to a DC voltage, a first switch, a second switch, and a controller for controlling the switches. Each of the switches is connected between the input and ground. The power inverter further includes a first network and a second network. The first network is connected at one end to the first switch and at another end to the second switch. The first network includes a capacitor, an inductor and a capacitor connected in series. The second network is connected at one end to an end of the first network and at another end to the other end of the first network. The second network includes a first sub-network, an output capacitor, and a second sub-network connected in series, where each of the sub-networks includes a capacitor and an inductor connected in series. A pair of outputs are then connected across the output capacitor.

A hair styling aid for curling hair is described, including a housing, guide means comprising a slot in a wall of the housing for receiving a length of hair to be styled, a rotatable element rotatable clockwise or anticlockwise relative to the housing and the guide means, to form curls, and a heated elongate member around which the length of hair is wound by the rotatable element, in use. The housing surrounds a part of the elongate member to form a chamber between the housing wall(s) and the elongate member, the housing extending from and being integral with a handle. The rotatable element is rotatable relative to or with the elongate member, having a predefined starting position to which it is automatically returned after use. The housing has a longitudinal axis and the slot is parallel with the longitudinal axis of the housing.
