Apparatus for hairstyling by means of steam

Abstract

Apparatus for hairstyling by means of steam, having a winding part (1) which extends longitudinally for winding the hair around, which winding part (1) comprises a heating element (2) which extends longitudinally, an evaporation channel (5) which extends longitudinally and has an exit (40) and is in thermal contact with the heating element (2), a steam outlet (10) which extends longitudinally, and a distribution space which connects the exit (40) of the evaporation channel (5) to the steam outlet (10). The distribution space is formed by a number of longitudinally extending distribution channels (6) which are made of a thermally conducting material and are in close thermal contact with the heating element (2) along substantially their entire length. In this way, dripping of water from the apparatus during use in varying positions is prevented.
