Abstract: A combined hot air and steam hair dryer providing for discharge of hot air and steam through the same aperture, comprising a housing, constituting an air chamber, supported on a balancing base, and provided with a discharge aperture at the forward end and an air inlet means at the rear end, with a motor-powered fan in the latter to drive the air towards the aperture. Intermediate the ends of the housing are provided a plurality of heating coils and, forward thereof, adjacent the aperture, a steam generating casing enclosing a heat rod and having discharge holes in the direction of the aperture, with the heat rod, coils and motor interconnected to a lead wire leading to an electric source and simultaneously activated by a switch. The base contains a water reservoir provided with a pump, to which is connected a hollow tubing leading into the casing, with means to inject water from the reservoir thereinto, therein expanding the water into steam, to be sprayed from the discharge aperture with the hot air.
