Abstract
An instrument for styling hair comprises a movable carrier, elongate hair guides which project from the carrier, and a passage for allowing hot air to pass through. The passage and the carrier being adapted to influence the discharge direction in dependence upon the position of the carrier in such a manner that a pivotal movement in a first direction of the carrier with the hair guides which project therefrom results in a change of the discharge direction through the passage in a substantially opposite second direction. During use this prevents hairs just released by the hair guides passing through the hair from being muddled up again. The hair-style is better under control and less combing and brushing is necessary.
