http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapinha

Chapinha é uma ferramenta utilizada para alterar a estrutura do cabelo com a ajuda do calor. Existem dois tipos gerais: as chapinhas alisadoras e as que produzem cachos. O sistema de funcionamento das chapinhas pode ser comparado ao do ferro de passar, o qual tambem era ultilizado para secar e alisar os cabelos.
