A hair drying and twisting assembly includes an air gun that has a handle portion and a barrel portion. A cylinder is removably attachable to the barrel portion and the cylinder is foraminous to pass air therethrough. A blower is positioned within the barrel portion to blow air outwardly through the barrel portion when the blower is turned on. A heating element is positioned within the barrel portion to heat the air is blown by the blower when the heating element is turned on. A plurality of motors is positioned in the barrel portion and a plurality of coiled members is positioned within the barrel portion. Each of the coiled members engages a respective one of the motors to twist the user's hair into a coil when the motors are turned on.

The handheld motorized hair styling device is a battery-operated, motorized, hair styling tool that produces a styled pattern of curls, twists, and/or coils in hair. The handheld motorized hair styling device creates the styled pattern by moving a contoured styling pad against the hair in a roto-linear motion. The speed and direction of the roto-linear motion may be changed using controls on the handheld motorized hair styling device. The styling pad may be removed and replaced and the battery is rechargeable.

Disclosed is a hair styling apparatus and its employment in specific hairstyling methods. The apparatus is a mechanized, motorized device configured to operate in conjunction with a hairstyling attachment, said device comprising an ordered arrangement of components which, when motorized in a connected manner, cause the meshed rotation of two internal pivot gears, the pivot gears having irregularly-spaced undersurface dock holes connectable to a planar grip housing. The pivot gears induce selectable rotation modes of the planar grip housing; further, the grip housing is capable of securely gripping the attachment. A preferred attachment comprises an elastomeric block having an elliptically-contoured, substantially smooth top surface, and a patterned, sculptured bottom surface constructed with parallel V-shaped channels and a plurality of circular chambers. In this manner, when hair is placed in contact with the motorized device and its attachment, the hair may be styled into a multiplicity of twists or spirals.

A hair treatment method for curling a lock of hair using a hair holder. The hair holder includes a tubular body which has an opening located at a first end and an opening located at a second end of the tubular body, and configured to allow a lock of hair be inserted from the first end opening of the tubular body toward the second end opening and to be capable of being rolled up. The method includes inserting a lock of hair into the hair holder, rolling up the tubular body together with the lock of hair inserted therein, so that the number of turns of the lock of hair is less than one, and curling the lock of hair in this wound state. A hair holder in which the tubular body is configured to be wound less than one turn is suitably used in this hair treatment method.

A hair treatment method for curling a lock of hair using a hair holder is provided. The hair holder includes a tubular body into which a lock of hair can be inserted from an opening at a first end of the tubular body toward an opening at a second end thereof, and the tubular body is configured to be capable of being rolled up. The hair treatment method includes inserting a lock of hair into the hair holder, rolling up the tubular body together with the lock of hair inserted in the tubular body so that a large diameter portion that has a tubular shape and forms an outer circumferential portion and a small diameter portion that is located inside the large diameter portion and has a space between the small diameter portion and the large diameter portion are formed, and performing curling while maintaining this wound state.

The present invention provides a hair treatment method for curling a lock of hair (H) using a hair holder (1). The hair holder (1) includes a tubular body (2) which has an opening (21) located at a first end of the tubular body and an opening (22) located at a second end of the tubular body, and which is configured to allow a lock of hair (H) to be inserted from the opening (21) toward the opening (22) and to be capable of being rolled up. The hair treatment method includes an insertion step of inserting a lock of hair (H) into the tubular body (2); a rolling-up step of rolling up the tubular body (2) together with the lock of hair (H) inserted in the tubular body (2) thereby to form a roll-shaped, lock-of-hair holding body (3) in which the opening (22) is located on the center side roll-shaped, lock-of-hair holding body (3) of the roll-shaped, lock-of-hair holding body (3); a deforming step of deforming the tubular body (2) into a helix form by pulling out a portion of the lock-of-hair holding body (3), the portion being located on the center side, toward a lateral side of the lock-of-hair holding body (3); and a curling treatment step of performing a curling treatment of the lock of hair (H) while maintaining the tubular body (2) in the helix form.

A hair styling tool that a base member with a body pad attached to the base member. The body pad can be a foam brush member with a plurality of holes formed therein. A plurality of hair shapers can be disposed in the holes of the body pad. The hair shapers can extend outward from respective ones of the plurality of holes or be members disposed at least partially inside the plurality of holes. The hair styling tool can cut the time in more than half to achieve desired results, allowing a user to achieve hair coils, curls, and/or starting of dread locks in fraction of the time as compared to conventional hair styling tools.

An apparatus for styling hair is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a handle comprising a motor. The apparatus further comprises a comb head coupled to the handle. The apparatus further comprises a plurality of bristles coupled to the comb head. Each of the bristles comprises a bristle head provided in a honeycomb shape to receive hair. Each of the bristles rotate when the motor is operated to twist and braid the hair.

A hand-held hair styling device permits precise introduction of a curl into the hair. A selectively actuatable drive system drives rotation of one or more rotatable bases, each carrying a hair styling element on it. The drive system includes a transmission connecting an actuator to the rotatable base to transmit the movement of the actuator in one direction into rotation of the rotatable base in a first direction. The transmission is configured to prevent rotation of the rotatable base in a second direction opposite to the first direction upon movement of the actuator in an opposite direction. In another aspect the transmission is configured to produce a single 360 rotation of the rotatable base upon movement of the actuator in the first direction.
