A hair-cutting apparatus, comprising: - a cutting arrangement for cutting hair; and - a cut-hair-blocking element arranged in front of a cutting zone of the cutting arrangement in a direction in which the hair-cutting apparatus is moved to cut hairs during use, and sufficiently close to an upper side of the cutting arrangement for counter-acting flying off cut hair from the hair-cutting apparatus, wherein the upper side is opposite to a skin-touching side of the cutting arrangement; wherein the cut-hair-blocking element has a hair receiving portion at a bottom of the cut-hair-blocking element close to the cutting zone for allowing hair to be cut to pass through the hair receiving portion to enter the cutting zone; wherein the hair receiving portion has a row of cut-hair-blocking members (28, 28a, 28b), wherein adjacent cut-hair-blocking members have an interspace therebetween that is sufficiently small to prevent the cut hair from passing through the interspace, or wherein adjacent cut-hair-blocking members have no interspace therebetween; wherein the cut-hair-blocking members comprise barrier members; wherein the barrier members are sufficiently flexible such that the barrier members undergo sufficiently large deformation under a force caused by the hair to be cut for allowing the hair to be cut to pass through the barrier members to enter the cutting zone; and wherein the barrier members are sufficiently stiff such that the barrier members undergo no or little deformation under a force caused by the cut hair for preventing the cut hair from flying off; and wherein the cut-hair-blocking members are contiguous to a tip of a guard blade of the cutting arrangement. - a cutting arrangement for cutting hair; and - a cut-hair-blocking element arranged in front of a cutting zone of the cutting arrangement in a direction in which the hair-cutting apparatus is moved to cut hairs during use, and sufficiently close to an upper side of the cutting arrangement for counter-acting flying off cut hair from the hair-cutting apparatus, wherein the upper side is opposite to a skin-touching side of the cutting arrangement; wherein the cut-hair-blocking element has a hair receiving portion at a bottom of the cut-hair-blocking element close to the cutting zone for allowing hair to be cut to pass through the hair receiving portion to enter the cutting zone; wherein the hair receiving portion has a row of cut-hair-blocking members (28, 28a, 28b), wherein adjacent cut-hair-blocking members have an interspace therebetween that is sufficiently small to prevent the cut hair from passing through the interspace, or wherein adjacent cut-hair-blocking members have no interspace therebetween; wherein the cut-hair-blocking members comprise barrier members; wherein the barrier members are sufficiently flexible such that the barrier members undergo sufficiently large deformation under a force caused by the hair to be cut for allowing the hair to be cut to pass through the barrier members to enter the cutting zone; and wherein the barrier members are sufficiently stiff such that the barrier members undergo no or little deformation under a force caused by the cut hair for preventing the cut hair from flying off; and wherein the cut-hair-blocking members are contiguous to a tip of a guard blade of the cutting arrangement.
