Abstract
A hairstyling device is provided. The hairstyling device includes a heatable hair contact member having a hair-contactable surface, the hair contact member being operable to apply heat to hair via the hair-contactable surface. The hairstyling device includes a controller configured to monitor power draw associated with heating of the hair contact member during heating of hair of a user via the hair-contactable surface. Based on the monitored power draw, one or more hair damage parameters indicative of damage of the heated hair are calculated. The controller is configured to control the hairstyling device based on the one or more calculated hair damage parameters.
Claims18
A hairstyling device comprising:
- a heatable hair contact member having a hair-contactable surface, the hair contact member being operable to apply heat to hair via the hair-contactable surface;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- monitor power draw associated with heating of the hair contact member during heating of hair of a user via the hair-contactable surface;
- based on the monitored power draw, calculate one or more hair damage parameters indicative of damage of the heated hair;
- and
- control the hairstyling device based on the one or more calculated hair damage parameters.
A method of operating a hairstyling device, the hairstyling device comprising:
- a heatable hair contact member having a hair-contactable surface, the hair contact member being operable to apply heat to hair via the hair-contactable surface,
- the method comprising:
- monitoring power draw associated with heating of the hair contact member during heating of hair of a user via the hair-contactable surface;
- based on the monitored power draw, calculating one or more hair damage parameters indicative of damage of the heated hair;
- and
- controlling the hairstyling device based on the one or more calculated hair damage parameters.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer program stored thereon comprising a set of instructions which, when executed by a computerised device, cause the computerised device to perform a method of operating a hairstyling device, the hairstyling device comprising a heatable hair contact member having a hair-contactable surface, the hair contact member being operable to apply heat to hair via the hair-contactable surface, the method comprising:
- monitoring power draw associated with heating of the hair contact member during heating of hair of a user via the hair-contactable surface;
- based on the monitored power drawn, calculating one or more hair damage parameters indicative of damage of the heated hair;
- and controlling the hairstyling device based on the one or more calculated hair damage parameters.
