  • Patent number: 4254324
    Abstract: An electric hair singer is provided for removing split ends from hair and includes a housing having a passageway formed therein with a comb element and heating element disposed at one end of the passageway.

In addition, means are provided for adjusting the vacuum effect within the passageway. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the hair singer is combined with a hair dryer, with the hair singeing elements being disposed at one end of the passageway and the heating coil for the hair dryer disposed adjacent the other end of the passageway. In this manner, the fan motor which produces the vacuum effect for the hair singer also operates to blow air through the passageway of the hair dryer.
