Hair-shaping tool

A hair-shaping tool comprising:

• (a) an orbital motion-generating mechanism for supporting a hair-shaping head;
• (b) a handle comprising a distal end and a proximal end, wherein said orbital motion-generating mechanism is disposed on said proximal end and said distal end of said handle is configured to be held in a user's hand;
• and
• (c) a circuit for controlling operations of said orbital motion-generating mechanism, said circuit configured for receiving a power source to power a motor that mobilizes said orbital motion-generating mechanism, wherein said circuit is configured to activate said orbital motion-generating mechanism when hair-shaping is desired and to deactivate said orbital motion-generating mechanism when hair-shaping is not desired,
• wherein said orbital motion-generating mechanism comprises a plate, a first gear and at least two second gears each comprising a connecting member having a first end and a second end and, said first gear is configured to receive an output of the motor to cause a rotary motion of said first gear about an axis and said first gear is configured to be rotatably coupled to said at least two second gears to cause a rotary motion in each of said at least two second gears, each said connecting member connecting, at a first end, one of said at least two second gears to said plate at a second end, wherein a rotation of said first gear causes said plate to orbit about said axis.
