Patent ID: 8356608

Claim:
A hair styling device for giving a desired hair style to hair softened by softening agent application or spraying or hair applied with a hair conditioner, which comprises: a device main body; an arm body extending from the device main body, the arm body having one arm having a longitudinal axis and an other arm opposing the one arm and connected pivotably to the device main body via a connection mechanism; an oscillation means placed in the one arm or the other arm or the device main body and generating oscillation having a predetermined frequency, and an oscillator placed in the one arm or the other arm and constituted such that the oscillator can transmit the oscillation generated by the oscillation means to the hair, wherein: the arm body is constituted such that the arm body can retain or release the hair by rotating the connection mechanism, the oscillation generated by the oscillation means has a predetermined frequency ranging from 1 to 20000 Hz, and the oscillator is constituted such that the oscillator slides in a reciprocating manner relative to the other arm along the longitudinal axis to transmit the oscillation from the oscillation means to the hair such that when the arms are brought together to retain the hair, the arms are substantially parallel the longitudinal axis and the hair retained between the one arm and the other arm is reciprocally rotated.
