(57) A hair care appliance includes a handle (110) and a body (120) coupled together via a rotational hinge joint (300). The body (120) can be movable via the rotational hinge joint (300) between a straight configuration in which the body (120) is aligned with a longitudinal axis of the handle (110) and a bent configuration in which the body (120) extends along an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the handle (110). The handle (110) and the body (120) are about 2/3 and 1/3, respectively, of the total length in the straight configuration.
