Abstract
In a device ( ) for applying an additive to hair comprising a longitudinally extending base part ( ) for making contact with the hair during operation, which base part ( ) comprises a distribution system ( ) for additive, which distribution system ( ) has an inlet ( ) which is connected to an additive dispenser ( ) and has outlets ( ) for applying the additive to the hair during operation, a flowpath ( ) is present between the inlet ( ) and each outlet ( ), which flow path comprises at least one ramification point ( ), said flow paths ( ) having a substantially identical flow resistance measured from the inlet ( ) to each outlet ( ). Additive originating from the inlet ( ) during operation and following the flow paths ( ) to each outlet ( ) will reach all outlets ( ) practically simultaneously, and the additive flow-rate through each outlet is substantially the same. As a result of this, the additive is distributed evenly over the hair by the device ( ), which benefits a good hairstyling result.
