Abstract (en)

In a device (1) for cutting off split ends (2) of hair, a body (3) of the device holds a strand of hair (4). The ends (2) are inserted into a slot (5), after which the ends (2) can be cut off by means of a cutting mechanism (6). To ensure the device (1) is economical and easy to use, it is proposed that the device have a connecting part (7) which can be connected with a hairstyling device, especially a blow dryer or hot air brush (8), to allow a stream of air (9) produced by that device to flow into an inside area (10) of the device (1) where the slot (5) is positioned, and that a bracket (12) be arranged on the outer surface of the sleeve (11) to hold the strand of hair (4) in place with an opening (13) in the bracket (12) that at least partially fits the slot (5) on the sleeve (11) so that when the strand of hair (4) is clamped between the bracket (12) and sleeve (11) and the ends (2) are positioned between the opening (13) and the slot (5), they are thus caught by the flow of air (9) and are blown through the opening (13) of the bracket (12) where they can be cut off with a cutting mechanism (6) on the outside of the bracket (12).
