ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method of drying hair in which an axial flow of heated air is diverged from the axis toward a circular array of flow nozzles at a selected flow velocity. The nozzles direct the heated air along a conical flow pattern such that the air is focused to a common point. When the circular array is positioned such that a hair-carrying surface, e.g., the scalp of a user, is located between the circular array and the common point, hair will be lifted to provide enhanced drying conditions. The circular array is located on a nozzle structure which may be integral with the housing of a hand-held hair dryer, or configured as a separable attachment.
