Hair styling device

Abstract

This invention relates to a hair styling device. The invention provides a hair styling device (10; 210; 310) having a body (12; 112; 312; 412) with a chamber (16; 116; 216; 316) adapted to accommodate a length of hair (24). The chamber has an opening (22; 322) through which the length of hair may pass into the chamber. A rotatable element (32) is adapted to engage the length of hair adjacent to the opening. A pressing means (28, 30; 330; 430) drives the length of hair towards the opening. The device has a capture region (364; 464) which is spaced from the opening (22; 322) and which retains misplaced hair. Holding means (330; 406) holds the misplaced hair within the capture region where it is detected by a detector (382; 482).
