An apparatus manipulates the shape of hair using dielectric heating. Typically,the apparatus includes opposing first and second electrodes respectively provided on first and second arms that are movable towards and away from one another. Drive circuitry supplies electrical energy to the first and second electrodes, to cause an alternating electric field to be produced in the vicinity of the electrodes in use, and thereby cause dielectric heating of hair placed between the electrodes in use. Sensing circuitry senses a change in coupling of energy from the alternating electric field to the hair during heating of the hair. Control circuitry controls the drive circuitry to vary the electrical energy supplied to the first and second electrodes in dependence upon the sensed change in coupling. A related method manipulates the shape of hair using dielectric heating.

The invention discloses a hair straightener capable of automatically distinguishing dry and wet hair. The hair straightener comprises two heating panels, each of the two heating panels having a heating surface, the two heating surfaces cooperating with each other for clasping hair and for hair styling; a conduction assembly, provided in one of the two heating panels, and configured to detect the humidity of hair; and a circuit control system for controlling temperatures of the two heating panels upon receipt of the humidity of the hair detected by the conduction assembly. According to the invention, the temperature of the heating panels can be adjusted to an appropriate temperature after the humidity of the hair is detected, so that the hair conditions are in the best state.
