A cosmetic applicator includes a container for containing a product to be dispensed and a tip threadably retained on the container. The tip includes an application surface including a thermal member and an opening in the application surface in fluid communication with the container through which the product is dispensed. The tip application surface is configured to contact a user's skin to apply the product to be dispensed and an opening in the application surface through which the product to be dispensed is dispensed from the reservoir. At least one of the dispensing tip or the cap includes a thermal member.

In a hair straightener comprising an elongate straightener arm (A) having a heating plate (H), the invention provides a pivot mechanism (2) for supporting the heating plate (H) in a pivotable manner around a pivot axis (P1) in a longitudinal direction of the elongate straightener arm (A). Preferably, the pivot axis (P1) is at a heating surface of the heating plate (H), or between a first heating plate of a first straightener arm and a second heating plate of a second straightener arm when the first straightener arm and the second straightener arm are in a relative position arranged for clamping hair. Advantageously, a bias mechanism (4) (e.g. a resilient member like some spring) biases the heating plate (H) to a neutral position.

An applicator device or dispenser includes an applicator tip assembly and a housing which may, in some examples, have a reservoir for containing a product, such as a cosmetics product or a medicinal product. The applicator tip assembly may be coupled to the housing and may comprise a thermal storage applicator portion having an application face for applying the product to a surface, the thermal storage applicator portion being made from a material that is capable of storing and retaining and/or transferring thermal energy during application of the product. The applicator tip assembly may further comprise a main body portion having a product delivery passageway extending through the main body portion for dispensing a product to the application face of the thermal storage applicator portion, the main body portion configured to at least partially enclose the thermal storage applicator portion at a periphery of the thermal storage applicator portion.

An agent for hair deforming treatment comprising the following components (A), (B) and (C): (A) glyoxylic acid, or a hydrate or a salt thereof, (B) resorcin, and (C) water,
wherein the molar ratio of the content of the component (B) to the content of the component (A), (B)/(A), is 0.2 or more and 5 or less.

A cosmetic personalization system which allows uses to make their own custom cosmetic such as, but not limited to, lipstick, eyeshadow, or blush through the melting, pressing, or emulsifying of cosmetic material. The cosmetic personalization system includes a main housing, a plurality of compartments, and a cosmetic-melting device. The main housing provides a structural body to support the plurality of compartments and the cosmetic-melting device. The plurality of compartments stores cosmetic materials, the cosmetic-melting device, and any additional cosmetic accessories. Each of the plurality of compartments is a drawer-type compartment sized and designed to fit within the main housing. The cosmetic-melting device allows the user to melt and mix cosmetic material in order to make a custom cosmetic such as, but not limited to, lipstick, blush, cream, or powder.

A hair care appliance including a body having an outer wall and an inner wall, a fluid flow path extending from a fluid inlet to a fluid outlet wherein the fluid outlet is at least partially defined by the inner wall, a heater for heating fluid in the fluid flow path and, a thermistor for measuring the temperature of fluid between the heater and the fluid outlet, wherein the thermistor is retained with respect to a housing and the housing forms part of the inner wall. The housing may comprise a base that engages with the inner wall. The housing may further comprise an arm wherein the arm supports the thermistor and extends radially inwards of the inner wall. The housing may comprise two arms and the thermistor is suspended between the two arms. The inner wall may comprise an aperture into which the housing is inserted.

APPARATUS FOR REMOVING HEAD LICE, designed on the basis of a base casing (2) comprising a drier (3) formed from a first electric motor (4) with an air-blowing turbine and a resistance (5), coupled to a first flexible tube (6) which comprises, on the distal end thereof, a detachable applicator head (7) with prongs (8) via which hot air is expelled. It also comprises a suction device (9) formed by a second electric motor (10) with an air suction turbine coupled to a second flexible tube (11) with a detachable suction nozzle (12), a dismountable filter (13), a very fine nit-removing-type comb (14), an electronic circuit (18), and at least one temperature sensor (17) which is connected to the electronic circuit (18) and determines the automatic actuation of the power-saving system on the basis of pre-established temperature parameters.

Disclosed herein is a method of controlling a haircare appliance including a heater. The method includes measuring a temperature of output air of the haircare appliance to obtain a measured output air temperature. The method includes comparing the measured output air temperature to a desired output air temperature. The method includes determining a desired heater temperature based on the comparison of the measured output air temperature to the desired output air temperature. The method includes predicting a predicted heater temperature. The method includes comparing the predicted heater temperature to the desired heater temperature. The method includes outputting a control signal based on the comparison of the predicted heater temperature to the desired heater temperature.

An applicator comprising at least two applicator elements and one of the at least two applicator elements at least partially surrounds or encompasses other of the at least two applicator elements. One of the at least two applicator element is constructed from a filament constructed at least partially from a thermal storage material that is capable of retaining heat or cold for application to a body, and comprises at least two loops which provide a discontinuous application surface.
