Hairstyling apparatuses and related methods

A hairstyling apparatus comprising:

• a barrel defining a hairstyling surface and a central longitudinal axis, wherein the barrel has a first proximal end and a second distal end;
• a heating element in thermal communication with the barrel;
• and
• a rotating member located at the proximal end of the barrel and configured to rotate around the central axis of the barrel, the rotating member comprising at least one tab extending along a longitudinal length of the hairstyling surface over at least a portion of a longitudinally extending portion of the hairstyling surface;
• at least one rod received by at least one of said tab;
• wherein the rotating member further comprises one or more additional tabs extending along a longitudinal length of the hairstyling surface;
• wherein at least one of the additional tabs is shorter than at least one other tab.
