A hair braider for a three-bundle plait or braid includes a body having a handle (120) and a head portion (110) at one end of the handle; a selectively actuatable drive source (130) disposed within the body; and first and second rotatable rotors (300, 330) disposed within and accessible through openings formed in the head portion. They are operatively coupled to the drive source through a plurality of gears such that they rotate in opposite directions. The hair braider further includes a plurality of hair retaining members (200) that are received within openings formed through the first and second rotatable rotors, wherein each hair retaining member has a bore (216) formed therethrough for receiving one bundle of hair. A mechanism (400) transfers at a transfer location one hair retaining member from one rotor to the other rotor as the rotors rotate.; The rotation of the rotors in opposie directions and he successive transfer of one hair retaining member from one rotor to the other rotor results in a true, three-bundle braid being formed.

Disclosed is a heating fabric comprising a heating fabric element made by weaving woof fibers and warp fibers, a pair of conductive parts being a plain fabric made by a weaving method to extend from one side edge of the heating fabric element, for supplying electric power to the heating fabric element, wherein electrode fibers are woven in rows as warp threads in the conductive parts and a heating fiber is intermittently woven as woof threads at predetermined intervals so as to be conductive with the conductive parts, and wherein the heating fiber is woven in a zigzag pattern on the other side of the plain fabric of the conductive parts, in which one end of the heating fiber is woven into the conductive part, and a portion of the other end of the heating fiber is not woven into the conductive part, thereby forming a jumping portion having a length longer than a width of the conductive part, the jumping portion jumping over the conductive part so as not to be conductive with the conductive part. Due to the one-side arrangement of the conductive parts and the zigzag pattern of the carbon fibers, electromagnetic waves are reduced and offset. Accordingly, the heating fabric is advantageous for a user's health.
