Abstract
A method is used to generate an ion current in a hair shaping or care appliance which comprises an ionization apparatus (7) having at least one high voltage generator (4) and at least one electrode connected to the high voltage generator (4). For this purpose, during the ionization process, an ion current having a first polarity of the ions thereof is provided for supplying ions to the hair to be cared for or shaped, and said ion current is intermittently interrupted, and during the interrupted time an ion current comprising ions having a second polarity which is opposite of the first polarity is generated.
Claims8
1-7. (canceled)
A method for generating an ionic current in a hair shaping or hair care appliance comprising:
- an ionization apparatus with at least one high-voltage generator and at least one electrode connected to the high-voltage generator;
- wherein during the ionization procedure for supplying ions to the hair to be cared for an ionic current with a first polarity of its ions takes place;
- and
- intermittently interrupting the ionic current and in the time of the interruption an ionic current is generated with ions with a second polarity opposite to the first polarity.
The method of claims 1 wherein the at least one electrode is mounted in an electrode frame and that a free electrode-emitting end of the electrode is located inside the electrode frame.
The method of claim 1 wherein the hair shaping or hair care appliance does not have a blower for generating a current of air.
