Hair straightening and curling device

Abstract

A hair straightening and curling device includes two handle arms pivotally extended from a pivot point and two heated plates provided at end portions of the handle arms respectively, wherein each of the heated plates includes a plate body provided at an inner side of the handle arm and a side wing sidewardly extended from the plate body to form a L-shaped plate structure. The side wing is extended out of the sidewall of the handle arm such that the heated plates are adapted for not only straightening a lock of hair when the lock of hair only contacts and sandwiches between the plate bodies but also for curling the lock of hair when the lock of hair further contacts with the side wings.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a hair straightening and curling device with a heat plate that has a flat body and a side wing. The device can be used to straighten or curl hair. The flat body can be used to straighten the hair or the side wing can be used to curl the hair. The heat plate is supported at a slant orientation to increase the heating surface. The side wing is extended from the body to form a curved edge to prevent scratching of the hair during combing. The side wing is spaced apart from the handle arm to prevent heat transmission. Overall, the device can be used by both left-handed and right-handed users and does not require any alterations to the original design to minimize manufacturing costs.

Problems solved by technology

However, the conventional hair straightening device has several drawbacks.

Since the heating surface of the heat plate is relatively small and limited, the user may repeat the combing action until the lock of hair is straightened.

However, the sharp edges of each heat plate may damage the hairs during the combing action.

However, as it is mentioned above, the width of the heat plate cannot be fully utilized to maximize the heating surface thereof.

Furthermore, the conventional hair straightening device can only provide a single function of straightening the hairs.
