A hair grooming apparatus includes a vacuum mechanism and a vacuum chamber that is in fluid communication with the vacuum mechanism. The vacuum chamber includes a first opening positioned at a first end of the vacuum chamber with a first cross-sectional area and arranged to accommodate an insertion of a section of hair and a second opening positioned at a second and opposite end of the vacuum chamber. The vacuum chamber further includes a wall extending between the first and second openings and defining an interior bore. An air pocket is formed along a section of the interior bore extending from a first location located proximate to the first opening with a second cross-sectional area to a second location positioned between the first location and the second opening with a third cross-sectional area. The second cross-sectional area is greater than both the first cross-sectional area and the third cross-sectional area.

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.

A hair integrations preparation system enables a user to rapidly tease hair by placing it in the intake port where it is held in a tube while it is teased by a set of rollers that travel along the tube. The hair is held in place by a series of wedges that constrict the tube. The ports, wedges, tube and rollers are held in a casing.

A hair dryer (10) has a hand-held housing comprising an air inlet (12), an air outlet (14), a motor (1) between said air inlet (12) and said air outlet (14) to draw air in from said air inlet (12) and drive air out from said air outlet (14). A heating element (17) is located in said air flow between said air inlet (12) and said air outlet (14). The hair dryer (10) further comprises a filter on said air inlet (12). The filter comprises a metal filter plate (20) bearing a plurality of holes, wherein at least some of said holes have a maximum lateral dimension of less than 1.5 mm and wherein vertical walls of said holes through a thickness of said filter plate are substantially straight or at least partially concave.
