Patent ID: 7152610

Claim:
A hair care device comprising a main housing and hair engagement means, said main housing comprising an upstream end and a downstream end interconnected by a hollow compartment, an attachment means at said upstream end for coupling said hair care device to an outlet nozzle of an hot air blowing device, and an air-exit aperture at said downstream end; and said hair engagement means comprising a plurality of thermally conductive and elongate comb-like teeth protruding from said downstream end; wherein said air-exit aperture and said hair engagement means are arranged such that, when said device is coupled with a hot-air blowing device, hot air emerging from said air-exit aperture is directed towards said plurality of thermally conductive teeth for direct heating thereof, and such that heat and tension can be imparted simultaneously on tresses of hair in engagement with said plurality of thermally conductive teeth for hair straightening during normal use.
