Hair styling iron

A hair iron is provided which includes a hair curling body having an outer peripheral surface on which hairs are wound, a clip for holding the hairs between the inner surface of the clip and the outer peripheral surface of the hair curling body and a heater for heating the hair curling body. The clip is made of low heat conductive materials. A plurality of rib-shaped guards, which extend in a circumferential direction of the hair curling body, are provided at least on an area of the outer peripheral surface of the hair curling body other than the area facing the clip. The guards are made of low heat conductive materials. The guards are disposed at certain spaced intervals in an axial direction of the hair curling body. The guards are connected by connecting rods which are buried in the hair curling body such that upper surfaces of the guards are positioned so as to be at the same level as or below the outer peripheral surface of the hair curling body so that the connecting rods never cause hairs to be displaced from the outer peripheral surface of the hair curling body and prevent hairs from clinging to the rods.
