ABSTRACT:
A hair dryer and steamer combination includes a handle housing mounting a fan blower producing a flow of air and a hair brush attachment having a hair engaging surface for seizing the hair to be styled. Included in the hair brush attachment is a heater which heats the water supplied from a water supplying tank at the end of the attachment to generate the steam. The attachment has its interior divided into an air flow chamber open rearwardly into the handle housing and a steam chamber accommodating the steam heater. The air flow chamber is provided with a number of air vents through which the air flow from the handle housing is discharged outwardly for drying the hair in engagement with the hair engaging surface. The steam chamber has a number of steam vents for discharging the steam outwardly for moistening the hair in engagement with the hair engaging surface. These air flow and steam chambers are separated from each other so that the steam generated within the steam chamber will not be directed to the air flow chamber and is only allowed to be discharged through the steam vents. The steam chamber and the hair engaging surface are defined commonly by a single member having good thermal conductivity so that the heat generated at the heater is transferred by conduction to the hair engaging surface for keeping it at a raised temperature, whereby effectively preventing the steam from being condensed on that surface.
