Hair Dryer

Be careful not to mess up your hair with a hair dryer.

Hair dryers are electrical machines used to dry and evaporate water molecules in hair or other materials, using air flow.
A ‘hair dryer’ is also known as a ‘blowdryer’ and a ‘blow dryer’.
Hair dryers typically contain a motor that runs a fan, that blows air across hot, electricity-powered wires to produce a warm flow of air.
Hair dryers were first invented in 1888 by French hairstylist Alexandre Godefroy, and although his invention produced heat, it did not blow air.
Hair dryers are often made with attachments that may spread air, that helps to maintain hair shape; or focus air, which allows quicker drying.

Early hair dryers were typically large and long, in an upside-down bowl shape, and were used by placing one’s head underneath the air-blowing opening.
Vacuum cleaners are said to have been used for hair drying purposes, before the introduction of hair dryers.
Hair dryers were originally designed from heavy materials including metal, but they became more practical and lightweight with the introduction of plastic.
A handheld hair dryer was invented by Gabriel Kazanjian, an inventor from America, in 1908, that used heated air flow with a fan, which is the basis of our modern devices.
Hair dryers resulted in hundreds of annual electrocutions up until significant legislation was set up in the 1970s and the 1990s, and due to the safety regulations, they are now considered a safe appliance to use with very few related deaths occurring.
