Abstract:
1. A hair-care device comprising: at least a first elongated jaw having a working surface and a second elongated jaw having a working surface, wherein the first and second jaws are hinged to one another to shift between an open position and a closed position in which the working surfaces of the first and second jaws create a hair treatment region when in the closed position, and electrical heating elements attached to at least one of the working surfaces, wherein the first jaw includes at least one friction bar which is adjacent to the working surface on the first jaw and mobile relative to the working surface on the first jaw, the at least one friction bar is adapted to work with an opposing element to create a traction region when the jaws are closed on a lock of hair, and when the device is moved along the lock of hair, a traction force is generated in the traction region which exceeds the traction force generated by the treatment region, and wherein compelling mechanisms located between the friction bar and first jaw extend the friction bar out from the first jaw.
