Just by adjusting the rotation angle (α) of the iron according to the embodiment of the present invention and combing in the combing direction (M) it is possible to give a straight (straight) or various types of curl (curl) to the hair.

For example, the straight of the hair is in a state in which the rotation angle α is 0 with respect to the plate-shaped surfaces of the first central portion 120 and the second central portion 220, that is, the curling is not performed. This can be done by moving the curling iron in the combing direction (M).

As another example, the curl of the hair is based on the plate-shaped surfaces of the first central portion 120 and the second central portion 220 in a state in which the rotation angle α is not zero, that is, in the counterclockwise direction of the curling iron. The rotation is made and can be done by moving the curling iron in the combing direction (M).

The curling iron 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be expressed differently according to the size of the rotation angle α, and the larger the rotation angle α, the stronger the curl.

For example, the rotation angle (α) may be formed C curl around 45 °, J curl around 90 °, S curl around 180 °, the angle is the first, second center (120, 220) and the The shape of the curved structure formed by the inner side surface 242c of the protrusion receiving groove may be changed according to the shape of the comb protrusion 142 and the protrusion receiving groove 242.

In particular, when the upper and lower sides of the curling iron are used upside down, for example, when the first heating element is positioned upwards and used, even if the first rotational element is positioned downward, even if the same rotation angle is given, the first heating element is lowered and used. A strong curling effect can also be obtained.

The first heating element 100 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention is curved in a direction in which the left and right ends thereof are far from the corresponding end of the second heating element 200. That is, the second heating element 200 is curved in a direction opposite to the position of the second heating element 200 (downward in the drawing). As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the second heating element 200 is formed of the first heating element 100. It is formed to have a form surrounding a part.

The second heating element 200 is formed to surround a part of the first heating element 100, and the first gap a and / or the second gap b are formed, so that the moisture remaining in the hair and the like are first. By the two heating elements (100, 200), a large amount can be present inside without being discharged to the outside during evaporation. Due to the moisture in the form of steam existing between the first heating element 100 and the second heating element 200, it is possible to reduce the damage of the hair due to the high temperature heat.

When forming both end ends of the first heating element 100, each of the comb protrusions 142 may be formed in a shape such that an outer end portion (left and right ends thereof) is lowered, and according to the rotation angle α of the curling iron. The curl may be better formed by forming a curved shape in which the outer end of the comb protrusion 142 is lowered when curling.

The maximum protruding height h of the comb protrusion 142 according to an embodiment of the present invention is preferably formed to be 2.4 mm to 2.6 mm.

When the maximum protruding height of the comb protrusion 142 is greater than the range, the hair is placed between the first heating element 100 and the second heating element 200 and the first heating element 100 and the second heating element 200. In the closed state, more force is required to move the curling iron 10 to the left and right directions.

In addition, when the maximum protruding height of the comb protrusion 142 is formed smaller than the above range, curling effect on the hair can be lowered.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the center distance p between each of the comb protrusions 142 is formed to be 3.5 mm to 4.5 mm.

When the center distance between the comb protrusions 142 is too short, the tension is increased during straight work, and more force is required to move the curling iron 10 in the left and right directions, and the center distance between the comb protrusions 142 is too long. Losing curl may lower the effect of curling on the hair.

Each comb protrusion 142 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be formed in a cross-sectional area of the comb protrusion from the inner end to the outer end portion is smaller, between the first heating element 100 and the second heating element 200 The located hairs can be easily discharged from the curling iron 10 when the curling iron 10 moves in the combing direction M.
