hair dryer

Hot salon tool

A hair dryer is a handheld electrical device that blows hot or warm air to dry wet hair quickly after washing.

Most have adjustable heat and speed settings, and some include attachments like diffusers for curly hair or concentrator nozzles for styling.

The term is sometimes spelled as one word, hairdryer, particularly in British English.

I can't find my hair dryer anywhere.
