Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2535504A] A hair styling apparatus 1 comprising a plurality of heater electrodes (330a, 330b figure 3) which heat one or more hair styling heaters 6a, 6b, a power source (505 figure 5) for powering the plurality of heater electrodes and a controller (506 figure 5) configured to control the power to the plurality of heater electrodes. The plurality of heaters comprises a first subset and a second subset of heaters. The controller is configured to, in a first mode of operation, control the power source so that the first and second subsets are not simultaneously powered. Also disclosed is a method of using the hair styling apparatus. This configuration limits the current draw of the heater subsets. If the apparatus is powered by a battery limiting the current may prevent the battery from overheating.
