Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022251044A1] A hair styling apparatus includes a heating assembly that is configured to deliver heat to hair. The hair styling apparatus is configured to energize a heating element of the heating assembly to deliver heat to the hair during a first styling operation. In one embodiment, the hair styling apparatus is configured to determine an estimated hair temperature, compare the estimated hair temperature to a desired hair temperature profile, and energize the heating assembly during a second styling operation based on the comparison. In another embodiment, the hair styling apparatus determines a curl profile of the hair based on a temperature of the heating assembly or the hair. The hair styling apparatus is configured to compare the curl profile to a desired curl profile, and energize the heating assembly during a second styling operation based on the comparison.
