Abstract (en)

A hair styling device (B) comprises a sensor (MP) having an active mode in which the sensor (MP) is arranged for contacting hair, and an inactive mode in which the sensor (MP) is arranged for not contacting the hair. In one embodiment, the sensor (MP) is provided with a cap (C) for covering the sensor in the inactive mode. In another embodiment, the sensor (MP) is movable between a first position in which the sensor (MP) is arranged for contacting hair in the active mode, and a second position in which the sensor (MP) is arranged for not contacting the hair in the inactive mode. Advantageously, the hair styling device (B) further comprises a control unit (CU) for communicating with a user device, separate from the hair styling device, the hair styling device (B) being arranged for switching between the active mode and the inactive mode in response to a control signal received from the user device. The hair styling device may further comprise a removable hair styling unit (HS) that does not include the sensor (MP).
