AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is about a hair styling apparatus that includes a flexible heating plate and a protective rim. The heating plate flexes to match the shape of the hair tress being styled, which minimizes the risk of damage to the hair. The apparatus also has low thermal transfer properties to prevent excessive heat transfer to the user's hands. The technical effects of this invention are improved hair styling results and reduced likelihood of damage to the hair.

Problems solved by technology

Whilst a hair tress is gripped between closed arms of a hair straightener and subjected to high temperatures from the heated plates, there is a possibility of heat damage to the hair.
Also, a tress of hair gripped between two flat and rigidly fixed heating plates is forced to splay widely across the plates, which is detrimental when styling hair into straight, even tresses.
