Abstract (en)
A hair dryer with a nozzle designed to effectively spread out the wetted hair strands for enhanced drying capability. The nozzle is configured to have its interior space divided into a plurality of individual ducts by a separation plane extending radially about a center axis. A weak flow zone where no direct air flow is given from the nozzle is formed downstream of the separation plane and between strong flow zones respectively formed downstream of the individual ducts to flow the forced air flow directly therefrom. With the provision of the localized strong flow zones separated by the weak flow zone, the nozzle can develop a waved air flow of varying flow rate, thereby enabling to spread out the wetted hair strands and therefore increase chances of exposing the hair to the air flow for expediting the hair drying.
