(54) | Applying hair treatment with a hair iron |
(57) A hair iron (100) has two hingedly connected arms (102, 104) between which hair may
be clamped and heated. A heating element (106) is included on one or both arms (102,
104), regulated by a temperature controller (114). A compartment (150) is formed in
one or both arms (102, 104) to hold a capsule (200) for containing a fluid, and a
connector, which includes liquid passing ports and gas passing ports, the connector
forming a coupling between the capsule (200) and a pump (164) and dispensing outlets
within the arm (102, 104). As the pump (164) is pressed, gas passes through the connector
into the capsule (200), creating pressure to force out liquid. The liquid passes through
the connector and arm to exit at dispensing outlets (126) located near the heaters
(106). The fluid (400) may be converted to steam by the heating elements (106).
