Patent ID: 8448649

Claim:
A hair care device comprising: a handle; an operational head attached to the handle, where the operational head comprises a hair treatment apparatus comprising a bristle field and/or a comb tooth field; a back side of the device facing away from the hair treatment apparatus; an ion-producing apparatus having a high-voltage circuit for producing ions on the hair, having at least one switching unit, an ion source placed within a housing component where the housing component has an ion outlet, and grounding surface for the removal/limiting of electrical charges, is arranged on an external surface of the housing component in a vicinity of the ion outlet and the grounding surface is in electrical connection with the grounding potential of the high-voltage circuit, wherein the ion source has a potential level of −10 to −3 KV relative to the potential level of the grounding surface, the housing component has a potential level of −2.5 to −1 KV relative to the potential level of the grounding surface, and the back side of the device has a potential level of −500 to −100V relative to the potential level of the grounding surface.
