Abstract

The invention is directed to an implement for the treatment of hair, particularly for the styling and/or drying of hair, which is adapted to be connected with the air exit end of a personal-care appliance through which air flows, in particular of a hair dryer or a hot-air curling brush. The implement is comprised of a main body and at least one active body movable relative to the main body, for example a supporting structure carrying several hair pick-up elements. An electric drive mechanism, in particular an electric motor, is provided on the implement for moving the active body.
