A hair styling device (10) comprises first and second arms ((12), (14)), each arm having a handle portion ((18), (20)) coupled to a clamping portion ((22), (24)). The arms are coupled to each other at a first end adjacent the handle portions, allowing the clamping portions to be moveable relative to each other between an open position and a closed position in which a curl forming apparatus may be held between the clamping portions. The clamping portion (22) of the first arm (12) houses a heater element and includes a concave shaped surface heatable by the heater element. The clamping portion (24) of the second arm (14) includes a convex shaped clamping surface. When the clamping portions are in a closed position, the heatable surface of the first arm and the clamping surface of the second arm are spaced apart by a separation distance.

A haircare item drying platform (HIDP) that functions as a free standing device or in combination with an over-head blow dryer to dry haircare items such as brushes, combs or human hair. The HIDP includes a disk with a center section that is either a solid uniform material or is made of a mesh material. A haircare item is placed on the center section or is inserted through and maintained within an opening on the center section. The HIDP with haircare items thereon is placed on a surface and elevated by at least three removably attached legs, or attachment means are utilized for securing the HIDP to the head opening on the over-head blow dryer. The haircare items can then air dry from ambient air, can have heated air applied from a hand-held blow dryer, or are dried from heated air applied onto the HIDP from the over-head blow dryer.

Apparatus for curling hair comprises first and second side portions which are secured together in a spaced apart relationship via a connector portion. The connector portion is positioned substantially centrally with respect to each side portion. The connector portion has a length of not more than 20 mm. The side portions are fabricated from a material which is both resilient and thermally conductive.

The present invention relates to a photoreactive hair treatment apparatus which enables the styling of a desired shape, the prevention of damages to hair and the treatment of hair to be glossy and resilient, and can reduce a treatment time of an agent used for treating hair. The photoreactive hair treatment apparatus comprises: a light source for emitting light; and a power supply unit for supplying power to the light source, wherein the light source is arranged to emit the light toward hair onto which a hair treating agent is applied. As such, the present invention has the effect of enhancing hair treatment efficiency by reducing the acting time in which the hair treating agent has effects on the hair.
