Claim:
1. An apparatus for styling hair, comprising; a frame; a first electrode coupled to the frame; a second electrode coupled to the frame and spaced apart from the first electrode; a control module electrically coupled to the first electrode and the second electrode, the control module operable to bias the first electrode at a first potential and the second electrode at a second potential to create an electrical potential difference between the first electrode and the second electrode, the electrical potential difference configured to produce an electrolysis zone in an electrolyte disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode; and an electrolyte reservoir disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, the electrolyte reservoir including a porous material disposed and configured to maintain a volume of the electrolyte within the electrolysis zone, the electrolysis zone configured to straighten hair disposed in the electrolysis zone between the first electrode and the second electrode.
