Hair straighteners are necessary tools for hairdressers; however, extensive use of such tools can cause damage to the hand. This study explored the handle shape and gripping comfort of hair straighteners. The handle was improved in terms of its diameter, width, and grip angle, and ergonomic experiments were conducted to compare the improved handle with those of commonly used straightener products. The results verified that the aforementioned improvement effectively alleviated problems concerning hair straightener use and enhanced the convenience and comfort of users. Therefore, the study results can serve as a reference for proposing new design that addresses the gripping comfort of hair straighteners.
