A device for curling hair, comprising:
- a handle comprising a one-piece monolithic portion at all operating conditions of the device;
- a first arm;
- a second arm;
- said first and second arm being solidly fixed to said one-piece monolithic portion at a first end thereof, arranged side-by-side and parallel to one another and extending along a longitudinal axis, associated with said handle;
- said device comprising a heater to heat at least one of said first and second arms;
- each of said first and second arms further comprising a respective fixed hemi-arm, the fixed hemi-arm of either of said first and second arm being solid with the one-piece monolithic portion and with the fixed hemi-arm of the other of said first and second arm, and a respective mobile hemi-arm, elastically supported by said fixed hemi-arm;
- wherein each of said first and second arms has a semi-cylindrical shape, with a first flat face fondled on said mobile hemi-arm and a second convex face formed on said fixed hemi-arm, said flat faces facing towards one another, said convex faces facing away from one another;
- wherein said fixed hemi-arm and said mobile hemi-arm of said first and second arms comprise a metal;
- and
