A hair styling device is described, having first and second members that are movable relative to one another between a closed operative condition and an open inoperative condition. The first member has a first heating panel and the second member has a second heating panel, the heating panels being adapted to heat a length of hair as the length of hair moves along a heating path therebetween in use, and being spaced apart in the operative condition to avoid pressing or clamping the hair therebetween. The first member also has a first pressing panel and the second member has a second pressing panel. The pressing panels are substantially planar. The length of hair moves along a pressing path between the first and second pressing panels in use. The length of the heating path is greater than the length of the pressing path.
