Description

RELATED APPLICATION(S)

Under provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 119e, the Applicant(s) claim the benefit of U.S. provisional application No. 62/792,291, titled “Hairdryer for extension braids”, filed on Jan. 14, 2019 which is incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

Generally, the present disclosure relates to hairdressing equipment. More specifically, the present invention is a hairdryer for extension braids.

BACKGROUND

Overview:

According to some embodiments, a hairdryer for extension braids is disclosed. The hairdryer includes a plurality of vents that supply warmed air for conventional blow-drying and further provides a plurality of warmed channels between the vents to hold and gently warm and dry the user's extension braids. Each color is understood to correspond to a mood experienced by the user.

According to a vent exemplary embodiment, a hairdryer providing a vent attachment, a motor, and a pistol grip is disclosed. The front end of the hairdryer, rather than terminating in a single vent that expels very hot air at a high velocity, terminates in a vent attachment which is removable. The vent attachment terminates in four vents which expel gently warmed air at a lower velocity. Between the vents are three U-shaped channels, each providing a curved heating element which also provides gentle heat. Extension braids may be placed in the channels and gently warmed and dried.

According to a clamp exemplary embodiment, a hairdryer providing a clamp attachment, the motor, and the pistol grip is disclosed. The clamp attachment is also removable and may be used to temporarily replace the vent attachment when the vent attachment has been removed. The clamp attachment provides a plurality of vent grooves, which provide heating elements and may be used to gently warm and dry extension braids.

To use the vent exemplary embodiment, the user may affix the vent attachment to the motor and use the vents and the channels to gently warm and dry extension braids. To use the clamp exemplary embodiment, the user may elect to affix the clamp attachment to the motor and use the vent grooves and heating elements to gently warm and dry extension braids.

The vent attachment, the vents, the clamp attachment, the channel, the heating elements, the pistol grip, and the motor housing are preferably manufactured from a rigid, durable material that is heat resistant, such as plastic. The motor is preferably manufactured from a rigid, durable material that provides substantial structural strength and is heat resistant, such as steel or aluminum alloy. The power cord is preferably manufactured from braided copper alloy wire sheathed in plastic.

The disclosed hair dryer may accommodate extension braids without damaging them. Further, the disclosed hairdryer provides conventional blow-drying with a plurality of warmed channels to hold and gently warm and dry the braids.
