A hair care apparatus comprising:
- a first arm and a second arm moveably joined together, wherein:
- the first arm comprises a first arm face;
- the second arm comprises a second arm face;
- the first arm face and the second arm face are directed towards each other and form a partially closable and openable clamp which can receive a section of hair therebetween;
- a product vessel or a chamber for receiving a received product vessel, wherein:
- the product vessel or the received product vessel can receive or comprise a volume of product;
- and
- the first arm face comprises an applicator surface comprising one or more through-openings in fluid communication with the product vessel or the received product vessel,
- wherein a flow of product can flow from the product vessel or the received product vessel and flow through the one or more through-openings to an area of exposed surface of the applicator surface;
- a heater configured to heat product prior to flowing through the one or more through-openings, wherein no heater is configured to heat an arm face;
- a temperature sensing device configured to sense a temperature associated with a product temperature, wherein:
- the heater is controlled at least in part based on the temperature sensed by the temperature sensing device, and heats the product to a given temperature level or a given range of temperature and maintains the product at the given temperature level or the given range of temperature at least in part based on the temperature sensed by the temperature sensing device;
- and
- the flow of product that can flow through the one or more through-openings can comprise product heated by the heater to a given temperature level or a given range of temperature;
- and
- a plurality of outwardly extending manipulator members comprised by the first arm face and having proximal ends located proximate to the one or more through-openings through which product can flow, or comprised by the second arm face and having distal ends, whereupon a closing action of the partially closable and openable clamp the distal ends are directed towards the one or more through-openings through which product can flow, wherein:
- when the first arm and the second arm are drawn towards each other, distal ends of the first plurality of outwardly extending manipulator members are directed towards an opposing arm face and can pass through a section of hair received between the first arm face and the second arm face;
- and
- a full closing between the first arm face and the second arm face of the partially closable and openable clamp is not permitted.
