Steam hair styling appliance

A hair styling appliance comprising:

• a first arm and a second arm comprising respectively a first contact surface and a second contact surface the first and second arms being mounted to be articulated with respect to each other between an open configuration in which the first and second contact surfaces are spaced apart from each other and a strand of hair is able to be introduced between the first and second contact surfaces and a closed configuration in which the first and second contact surfaces are close to each other and are able to clamp a strand of hair;
• a reservoir mounted on the first arm and adapted to contain a fluid to be vaporized into steam;
• a vaporization device mounted on the first arm and configured to produce the steam, and
• a fluid conveyor element secured to the reservoir and configured to convey the fluid contained in the reservoir towards the vaporization device,
• wherein the reservoir is mounted such that the reservoir is moveable between a resting position in which the fluid conveyor element is away from the vaporization device, and a vaporization position in which the fluid conveyor element is close to the vaporization device and the vaporization device is configured to vaporize the fluid conveyed by the fluid conveyor element and in that wherein the hair styling appliance further comprises an actuating element configured to automatically move the reservoir from the resting position to the vaporization position when the first and second arms are moved from the open configuration to the closed configuration,
• wherein the actuating element is configured to cooperate with the reservoir and is mounted on the second arm such that the actuating element is pivotable on the first arm around a pivoting axis, and wherein the actuating element comprises a cam surface configured to cooperate with the reservoir.
