A hair curling device includes a handle, a styling body connected with the handle, and a transmission mechanism disposed between the handle and the styling body. The styling body includes an outer shell for hair to be wound around. The outer shell is provided with an air outlet hole. The styling body further includes a hair clipping gap arranged on an inner side of the outer shell. Two sides of the hair clipping gap are provided with a clipping member, respectively. At least one of the clipping members is connected to the transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes an inclined surface matching structure to realize expansion or reverse contraction of the hair clipping gap.

Apparatus for curling hair comprises first and second side portions ((12), (14)) which are secured together in a spaced apart relationship via a connector portion (16). The connector portion (16) is positioned substantially centrally with respect to each side portion. The connector portion (16) has a length of not more than 20 mm. The side portions ((12), (14)) are fabricated from a material which is both resilient and thermally conductive. The first side portion (12) is substantially flat and the second side portion (14) is configured such that it is provided with two fixed states: a first state in which the first side portion is convex in shape and bends away from the second plate; and a second fixed state in which the first side portion is concave in shape and folds over to cover both the connector portion and the first side portion. The first side portion is provided with at least one barrier member (18) extending from the first side portion towards the second side portion in substantially the same direction as the connector portion and spaced apart from the connector portion. The at least one barrier member (18) has a height and the ratio of the height of the barrier member to the length of the connector portion is at least 1:3.

A hair-shaping device comprising a winding core, a rotatably drivable entraining element with an axis of rotation which corresponds to the longitudinal axis of the winding core, the entraining element designed to grasp a strand of hair and to wind the strand of hair around the winding core, and a housing that encloses the winding core, wherein the radial distance of the inside of the housing from the lateral surface of the winding core in the region of a winding space is sufficiently large such that winding the strand of hair onto the winding core is not hindered. The housing comprises a slot extending in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the winding core. The entraining element is arranged inside the winding space. The slot is designed for inserting a segment of hair to be shaped into the winding space and extends into the housing part facing the hair pull-in side and bounding the winding space in this direction, such that a strand of hair inserted into the insertion slot is caught by the entraining element rotating inside the winding space. The housing has a warm air flow inlet for supplying heat to a strand of hair located in the winding space between the winding core and the housing.
