hairdryer

Hot air styling

A hairdryer is a handheld electrical device that blows hot air to dry wet hair.

Also spelled as two words: hair dryer.

The heat and airflow can also be used for styling.

Beyond personal grooming, hairdryers serve improvised purposes—defrosting frozen locks, drying paint, or shrinking plastic wrap.
