Abstract
A hair styling instrument is provided which includes a housing (8) having a front side (9), formed with at least one passage (10) for heated air. Elongate hair guides (12, 13, 14) project exclusively from the front side (9) of the housing (8) or, at least in the area of the passage (10). Movable hair guides (13) are movable between a first position, in which they project fully from the housing (8), and a second position, in which they project from the housing (8) to a smaller extent than in the first position. With the movable hair guides (13) in the second position the hair styling instrument can be moved through wet tangled hair with a low resistance. Subsequently, when the hair is tidied and drier, a proper grip and hence a satisfactory styling performance is achieved with the movable hair guides (13) in the first position.
