Hair treatment apparatus with steam containment

Abstract

The invention concerns a hair treatment apparatus (1), comprising: - two arms (4, 5) that are movable relative to each other and capable of assuming a spaced-apart configuration in which a lock of hair can be inserted between them, and a closed configuration for treating the lock of hair, the arms (4, 5) being capable of being moved along the lock in this closed configuration, - two contact surfaces (12, 13) carried respectively by the two arms (4, 5), arranged opposite each other, at least one of the contact surfaces (12, 13) being heated, - at least one steam outlet (20) carried by one of the arms (4) at a distance from the corresponding contact surface (13), in order to expose the hair engaged between the arms (4, 5) to steam, - a containment structure (21) for at least partially containing the steam, carried at least partially by the other of said arms (5), - a comb (30) having teeth (31), carried by said one of the arms (4) that carries said at least one steam outlet (20), said atleast one steam outlet (20) being interposed between the comb (30) and the contact surfaces (12, 13).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for treating hair fibres. Background technique [0002] Hair is known to be smoothed using smoothing jigs. Unlike brushes, these grippers smooth hair fibers over high heat without pulling on the hair. However, to obtain a good smooth appearance, multiple passes of the fixture must be performed, which significantly increases processing time. Additionally, repeated applications of smoothing clips can sometimes lead to degradation of the hair fiber due to the temperatures to which the hair is exposed. [0003] It is known to use steam to treat the hair, for example in combination with treatment with a heating plate, the steam being sprayed or diffused over the hair. This method may be implemented by associating a hair treatment device and / or with different hair cosmetic treatments.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] The devices of the prior art are not fully satisfactory, especially from the point of view of the results obtained on the hair fiber, for example in terms of volume and regularity

The use of these devices has also indicated that the opening of the steam outlet may clog itself, especially due to the different elements that may be present on the user's hair, thus reducing the performance of these devices
