A hair iron can give hair a sufficient amount of negative ions. The hair iron has a grip, and a hair-care section connected to the grip, having a heater for generating heat to hair for hair dressing. Further, it has a negative ion generator which generates negative ions due to discharge around an electrode therein to emit them toward hair held by the hair-care section. The hair-care section has a bar-like shape, and the heater is fixed to an outer surface of the bar-like shape. Then, by winding hair to the hair care section in the hair iron, hair dressing can be performed efficiently.

a grip;
a hair-care section connected to the grip, the hair-care section having a hair holding section and a heater that generates heat to hair for hair dressing;
a negative ion generator provided outside the hair-care section, to generate negative ions due to discharge around an electrode therein and to emit the negative ions toward the hair disposed outside the hair care-section;
a plurality of bristles provided on an outer surface of the hair-care section;
a steam generator having a movable water tank provided to an end of the hair-care section opposite the grip; and
a ring which diffuses the steam generated by the steam generator, the ring being provided on the plurality of bristles;
at least one outlet that emits negative ions at a position where the hair crosses the hair holding section.
2. The hair iron according to claim 1 , further comprising an outlet near the electrode to emit the negative ions therethrough.
3. The hair iron according to claim 1 , wherein the hair-care section has a bar-like shape, and the heater is fixed to an outer surface of the bar-like shape.
4. The hair iron according to claim 3 , wherein the negative-ion generator is built in the grip, and the grip further comprises an outlet opening to the hair-care section to emit the negative ions towards the hair-care section.
