Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022136866A2] A device for drying and/or styling hair is disclosed. The device uses conduction and convection to heat the user's hair either to dry wet or damp hair or to style the user's hair. The device has a body portion having a fan and a heater for generating a heated air stream. The heated air stream flows into a head portion that has a base portion and a heat exchanger. Heat from the air heats up the heat exchanger which in turn heats up the base portion. During use, the user's hair contacts an outer surface of the base portion and is heated by conduction. Vent holes are also provided in the base portion so that the heated air can also heat the user's hair by convection.
