Abstract (en)

According to one aspect, the invention provides a hair volumizing appliance (1) for increasing a hair (8) volume near a person's scalp (7) according to the present invention. The appliance comprises an insertion member (2) to be inserted between the scalp (7) and the hair (8) when in use. The insertion member (2) comprises an unheated scalp facing part (3) to be positioned adjacent to the scalp (7) when in use, and a convex shaped hair supporting part (4) supporting the hair (8) when in use. The hair supporting part (4) comprises at least one heating zone (5) arranged on a side facing away from the scalp facing part (3). The convex shaped part is in contact with the hair (8) when heated, so as to cause a bending of the hair (8) near the root (9), thereby increasing the volume of the hair (8) near the scalp (7). The hair volumizing appliance is particularly suited for volumizing sleek hair without introducing curls.
