Abstract
A hair styler generally comprises an upper arm, a lower arm, and a hinge. The upper arm includes an upper grip and an upper clamp head. The upper clamp head includes an upper hair contact surface. The upper hair contact surface is twisted relative to the upper grip. The lower arm includes a lower grip and a lower clamp head. The lower clamp head includes a lower hair contact surface. The lower hair contact surface is twisted relative to the lower grip. The hinge attaches the upper and lower arms together such that the upper and lower arms are openable and closeable relative to one another. The hair styler is configured to receive hair between the upper and lower hair contact surfaces when the hair styler is in a closed position.
Claims19
A hair styler comprising:
- an upper arm including an upper grip and an upper clamp head, the upper clamp head including an upper hair contact surface, wherein the upper hair contact surface is twisted relative to the upper grip;
- a lower arm including a lower grip and a lower clamp head, the lower clamp head including a lower hair contact surface, wherein the lower hair contact surface is twisted relative to the lower grip;
- and
- a hinge attaching the upper and lower arms together such that the upper and lower arms are openable and closeable relative to one another, wherein the hair styler is configured to receive hair between the upper and lower hair contact surfaces when the hair styler is in a closed position,
- wherein the upper hair contact surface and the lower hair contact surface extend between sides of the upper clamp head and the lower clamp head, wherein the entirety of the upper and lower hair contact surfaces are smooth and free of any teeth, and wherein the sides of the upper clamp head and the lower clamp head include teeth along edges of the upper clamp head and the lower clamp head.
A hair styler comprising:
- a first arm including a first clamp plate including a first hair contact surface, wherein the first clamp plate is twisted;
- a second arm including a second clamp plate including a second hair contact surface, wherein the second clamp plate is twisted;
- a hinge attaching the first and second arms together such that the first and second arms are openable and closeable relative to one another, wherein the hair styler is configured to receive hair between the first and second clamp plates when the hair styler is in a closed position;
- and
- a heating system configured to deliver heat to the hair positioned between the first and second clamp plates,
- wherein the first hair contact surface and the second hair contact surface extend between sides of the first clamp plate and the second clamp plate, wherein the entirety of the first and second hair contact surfaces are smooth and free of any teeth, and wherein the sides of the first clamp plate and the second clamp plate include teeth along edges of the first clamp plate and the second clamp plate.
A hair styler comprising:
- a first clamp head including a first hair contact surface, wherein the first hair contact surface is twisted;
- a second clamp head including a second hair contact surface, wherein the second hair contact surface is twisted;
- a handle attached to at least one of the first clamp head and the second clamp head;
- and
- a hinge attaching the first and second clamp heads together such that the first and second clamp heads are openable and closeable relative to one another, wherein the hair styler is configured to receive hair between the first and second hair contact surfaces when the hair styler is in a closed position,
- wherein the first hair contact surface and the second hair contact surface extend between sides of the first clamp head and the second clamp head, wherein the entirety of the first and second hair contact surfaces are smooth and free of any teeth, and wherein the sides of the first clamp head and the second clamp head include teeth along edges of the first clamp head and the second clamp head.
