ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to hair care methods and more particularly to a hair drying method that includes the steps of a) providing a face shield assembly including an eyeglass assembly, a front gasket member and two ear canal protection members; the eyeglass assembly including a front frame portion having a frame nose receiving notch positioned between two viewing lenses and two earpieces pivotally connected to opposed side ends of the front frame portion; the front gasket member being secured to the front frame portion and having two eye openings, one in alignment with each of the viewing lenses, a gasket nose notch in alignment with the frame nose receiving notch, and two end flaps that extend from opposite gasket ends of the front gasket member back toward ear encircling tip ends of the side members; the two ear canal protection members each including an ear canal insertion portion in connection with an ear cover pad; each ear canal protection member being tethered to one of the side members with a flexible tether; b) positioning the face shield assembly onto the face of the wearer such that the eyes of the wearer are positioned behind the two viewing lenses, the nose of the wearer is positioned into the frame nose receiving notch, the front gasket provides a seal between the front frame portion and the face area of the wearer, and the each of the ear canal insertion portions of the two ear canal protection members is inserted into an ear canal of the wearer in a manner such that the respective ear cover pad covers an area of the ear of the wearer; and c) blowing hot air onto the hair until the hair is dry.
BACKGROUND ART
The hot air used dry hair can be uncomfortable when blown into the eyes and ear canals.
