Hair styling
In a hair styling device (20), a light emitting diode (33) is configured to deliver optical energy to hair, wherein an energy fluence of the optical energy is between 0.5 and 9 J/cm.sup.2, and more preferably between 1 and 5 J/cm.sup.2. The light emitting diode (33) is pulse-driven, and a pulse width of the optical energy is at least 50 ms. An output wavelength of the optical energy may be between 400 and 900 nm. The pulse width of the optical energy is preferably between 50 and 300 ms. The hair styling device (20) may comprise an optical shield (32) configured to block stray light during light exposure of the hair. An inner surface of the optical shield (32) may be reflective and/or may have a parabolic shape. The optical shield (32) may be movable between an open position in which a lock of hair can be placed in the hair styling device (20) while the optical energy is not applied, and a closed position in which light is prevented from escaping the hair styling device (20) while the optical energy is applied to the hair. The hair styling device may be a hair straightener having opposing first and second straightening surfaces, of which at least the first straightening surface comprises the light emitting diode (33), and at least the second straightening surface is arranged for reflecting light from the light emitting diode (33).
DISPLAYING A GUIDANCE INDICATOR TO A USER
According to an aspect, there is provided a method of displaying a guidance indicator to a user. The method comprises receiving a series of images of a head of a user; determining, from each image of the series of images, information relating to the position of the head of the user; and displaying to the user, on a display screen, a guidance indicator associated with a representation of the head of the user only if each of one or more defined conditions regarding the position of the head is met. According to other aspects, an apparatus is also provided.
VACUMM BOTTLE WITH A PLURALITY OF LIQUID OUTPUTS
The present invention discloses a vacuum bottle with a plurality of liquid outputs. The present invention includes a bottle body. A rotary liquid output mechanism arranged above the bottle body.

Cosmetic applicator with heat transfer component
A cosmetic package for applying a composition including a cosmetic, care or pharmaceutical composition onto the keratinous substrate such as skin, lips, under eyes, eyelids, cheeks, or any other part of the body. The cosmetic package comprises a cosmetic container and a cosmetic dropper coupled to the cosmetic container. The cosmetic dropper further comprises an applicator member, a bulb portion, a cap and a pipe. Actuation of the bulb portion displaces the composition from the interior of the pipe onto the applicator member. The applicator member is formed from an elastic material and flexes relative to the pipe.
Portable hair styling device with light-emitting diodes embedded in the bristles or teeth
A hair and scalp treatment device includes a dispenser connected to a cartridge, wherein the cartridge comprises a formulation; a plurality of tips on the device, wherein the tips have at least one opening to dispense the formulation and at least one LED that emits light in the visible color spectrum, wherein the at least one LED is located at the end of the tips; and a controller configured to individually turn on and off the LEDs from the plurality of tips.
DRYER
A dryer for drying hair or clothes is disclosed. The dryer includes a head and a handle attached to the head. The dryer further includes ultrasonic devices, a controller, a vacuum pump, and a reservoir. The head has a surface on which inlet holes are formed. The ultrasonic devices are positioned on the surface of the head. The ultrasonic devices produce ultrasonic vibrations that break down water molecules into mist. The controller controls an operation of the ultrasonic devices. The vacuum pump is positioned inside the head to generate suction force that draws the mist into the head. The reservoir is positioned inside the handle and connected to the vacuum pump by way of a conduit. The reservoir collects the mist generated by the plurality of the ultrasonic devices.
Vibrating cap removably affixed to a container retaining a viscous substance
A vibrating cap that works in conjunction with a container that contains a viscous substance selected from the group consisting of pain relievers, muscle relaxants and medicine. A user can remove the upper vibrating cap from the lower body portion of the container, apply the contents of the container to a desired portion of the user's body, then place the cap onto the lower body portion of the container and turn the rotating cap portion on to vibrate. The user can then place the vibrating cap over the location where the viscous substance was applied for beneficial effects.
