Abstract

A hair-shaping device comprising a winding core, a rotatably drivable entraining element with an axis of rotation which corresponds to the longitudinal axis of the winding core, the entraining element designed to grasp a strand of hair and to wind the strand of hair around the winding core, and a housing that encloses the winding core, wherein the radial distance of the inside of the housing from the lateral surface of the winding core in the region of a winding space is sufficiently large such that winding the strand of hair onto the winding core is not hindered. The housing comprises a slot extending in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the winding core. The entraining element is arranged inside the winding space. The slot is designed for inserting a segment of hair to be shaped into the winding space and extends into the housing part facing the hair pull-in side and bounding the winding space in this direction, such that a strand of hair inserted into the insertion slot is caught by the entraining element rotating inside the winding space. The housing has a warm air flow inlet for supplying heat to a strand of hair located in the winding space between the winding core …
