A hair treatment apparatus adapted to reduce the temperature of hair, the apparatus including at least one thermal energy storage core formed from a material that only experiences a solidification or condensation phase change when cooled below 0° C. and being arranged to draw heat out of hair, and at least one contact housing configured to enclose one thermal energy storage core, and a handle connected to at least one contact housing wherein said at least one thermal energy storage core is arranged to cool hair to a temperature below 0° Celsius.
A hair treatment method characterised by the steps of:
- cooling a thermal energy storage core provided by a hair treatment apparatus, the thermal energy storage core being cooled to below 0° C. and being enclosed in a contact housing connected to a handle, and
- exposing hair to be treated to the contact housing enclosing the thermal energy storage core to extract heat from the hair and reduce the temperature of the hair.
