A hair styling apparatus comprises a hair containment member for encapsulating an amount of hair and a heating apparatus for heating the hair containment member and the amount of hair encapsulated therein. The hair containment member includes upper and lower surfaces, the amount of hair being encapsulated between the upper and lower surfaces. The heating apparatus comprises first and second arms, each arm having a handle portion coupled to a clamping portion, the arms being coupled to each other adjacent the handle portions, allowing the clamping portions to be moveable relative to each other between an open position and a closed position in which the device encapsulating the amount of hair may be held between the clamping portions. The clamping portion of at least one of the first and second arms houses a heater element With the clamping portion in the closed position the apparatus substantially seals the encapsulated hair during heating thereof against egress of moisture liberated from the encapsulated hair during said heating from the apparatus to the surrounding environment and wherein during cooling, with the heating apparatus removed from the hair containment member, said hair containment member confines substantially moisture between the upper and lower surfaces.
