Methods and devices for hair treatment

The hair treatment device according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the electromagnetic radiation source is configured and operable to generate electromagnetic radiation in the visible light range comprising the complementary range for color(s) of the hair under treatment.

The hair treatment device according to any one of the preceding claims, comprising at least one surface configured to be brought into contact with the treated hair, the surface being located in optical path of the electromagnetic radiation such that it absorbs at least a portion of the electromagnetic radiation resulting in heating up and transferring the heat to the contacted treated hair.

The hair treatment device according to any one of the preceding claims, comprising at least one electrically conductive surface configured to be brought into contact with the treated hair, the surface being electrically insulated from the treated hair, such that when an electrical current having predetermined parameters is passed through the surface, the surface heats up and transfers the heat to the treated hair.

The hair treatment device according to any one of the preceding claims, comprising a movement detection sensor configured and operable to detect movement of the hair treatment device or the hair treatment element as a function of time, thereby enabling to alert the user when the heat treatment device or the hair treatment element is kept static above a predetermined period of time.

The hair treatment device according to any one of the preceding claims, comprising a proximity sensor configured and operable to detect engagement of the hair treatment device or the hair treatment element with the treated hair, thereby enabling to alert the user when the heat treatment device or the hair treatment element is disengaged from the treated hair.

The hair treatment device according to any one of the preceding claims, comprising a pressure sensor configured and operable to detect engagement of the hair treatment device or the hair treatment element with the treated hair, thereby enabling to alert the user when the heat treatment device or the hair treatment element is disengaged from the treated hair.

The hair treatment device according to any one of the preceding claims, comprising a temperature sensor configured and operable to detect temperature of the treated hair, thereby enabling to determine treatment parameters.

The hair treatment device according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein said hair treatment element comprises a housing accommodating said at least one electromagnetic radiation source.

The hair treatment device according to any one of the preceding claims, comprising two opposite plates configured to hold the hair under treatment and enable a user to apply a physical tension on the hair under treatment, the hair treatment element being embedded in at least one of the two plates.
