Abstract (en)

An attachment for a hair styling apparatus comprises an air inlet for receiving airflow from the hair styling apparatus, an air outlet and a duct for conveying air from the air inlet to the air outlet, wherein at least part of an external surface of the duct comprises an arrangement of tactile ribbed protrusions. The ribbed surface provides thermal insulation from the duct which may become warm when heated airflow is received from the hair styling apparatus and also serves as a visual guide to the user as to where they should place their fingers when grasping the attachment.
