Abstract (en)

In a hair styling device (S) comprising a light engine (LE) to deliver optical energy to hair, the hair styling device (S) is arranged to allow moist (M) escaping from the hair in response to optical energy being applied to the hair, to escape from the hair styling device (S). A ventilator may move the moist away from the light engine. A processor may control the light engine (LE), in which case the ventilator may also serve to cool the processor and/or the light engine (LE). The hair styling device (S) may comprise clamping members (S1, S2) arranged for allowing hair to be guided between and styled by the clamping members, at least one of the clamping members (S1, S2) being provided with the light engine (LE). At least one of the clamping members (S1, S2) may be provided with openings for allowing moist (M) to escape, or with openings for allowing air (A) to enter so as to convey the moist (M) out of the hair styling device (S). The clamping members (S1, S2) may have non-conforming shapes to allow the moist (M) to escape from the hair styling device (S). A hair treatment area comprising the light engine (LE) may have a gap (G) through which the hair (H) can be guided, the gap (G) being sufficiently wide to allow the moist (M) to escape. A width of the gap (G) may be between 0.3 and 5 mm, and preferably between 1 and 2 mm.
