This invention relates to a hair styling device, a hair styling method, and a drive system suitable for use in the hair styling device. The invention relates in particular to a hair styling device (10; 210) for imparting a wave to a section of hair (36) without clamping the section of hair in the wave form. The device has a first forming member (24) and a second forming member (24) with a hair-receiving region (38) between the forming members. A driving member (20; 120) is movable relative to the first forming member and the second forming member to deform the section of hair in the hair-receiving region. The driving member (20; 120) undertakes a two-stage movement as it deforms the section of hair, the driving member in a first stage being movable in a first direction (D1) to drive the section of hair (36) into the hair-receiving region, the driving member (20; 120) in a second stage being movable in a second direction (D2), the second direction being at an angle to the first direction whereby in use to further move the section of hair in the hair-receiving region (38).

A hair styling device and a hair styling method are described, for imparting a wave to a section of hair, the device having a first forming member, a second forming member, and a hair-receiving region between the first forming member and the second forming member. A primary driving element is movable relative to the first forming member and the second forming member and is adapted to move the section of hair in the hair-receiving region in a hair-deforming direction. The device has a secondary driving element, movable relative to the first forming member and the second forming member, and adapted to move the section of hair in the hair-receiving region in a direction opposed to the hair-deforming direction. The secondary driving element can thereby drive the section of hair into a more relaxed position to produce a more natural looking wave.

The invention relates to a hair styling appliance (1) comprising a shaft (12) having a comb-like styling tool (3), which extends only over part of the circumference of the shaft (12) and has teeth (5), which are each spaced apart from each other by a hair receptacle (10), are arranged in a tow in the longitudinal direction of the shaft (12), project from the shaft (12) and each form or have a styling part (7, 7.1), which is produced from a material that conducts heat well. In the part or the circumference of the shaft, which circumference is not occupied by the styling tool (3), the shaft (12) heats at least one hair collecting device (13), which follows the longitudinal direction of the row of teeth and is arranged opposite the latter such that, after hair has been caught by the hair collection device (13) and the shaft (12) has been rotated about the longitudinal axis thereof, the hair can be introduced into hair styling gaps situated between the pairs of styling parts (7, 7.1).
