  The present invention relates to a hair dryer.

  Hair dryers are used to dry wet hair (here, hair refers to the entire hair of the head) and are also used to set up and fix the hair in a certain style. The

  When drying the hair with a hair dryer, the surface layer of the hair is easily dried because the hot air from the hair dryer is easy to hit, but the lower layer of the hair and the scalp are difficult to dry and difficult to dry. May be dry, but the underlying layer and scalp may be wet. When the scalp is wet, it can cause various skin diseases and dandruff, and affects not only the scalp but also the hair. Hair (herein, hair refers to the hair of each head hair) ) Is easy to come off and thins. Further, if the hair is left wet, the hair cuticle (scale-like hair epidermis) is in an open state, which may damage the hair.

  Further, if the temperature of the warm air is raised too much in order to quickly dry the hair, problems such as damage to the hair and scalp, discoloration of the hair, and induction of hair loss occur.

  On the other hand, a circular or rectangular mouth tube with a narrowed outlet is attached to the outlet of a hair dryer currently in use. Hot air blown out from such an outlet is widely used. Therefore, the hair is moved (scattered) by the warm air, the hair ends are excessively shaken and dried, and the moisture of the hair ends too much due to the heat of the dryer, causing pain.

  In addition, the preferred method of using a hair dryer currently used in a beauty salon is (1) remove moisture from the scalp and hair with a towel, (2) start drying from the base of the scalp and hair with a hair dryer, 3) Although the emphasis is on the work of “drying the hair” such as drying the entire hair evenly, the desire of women to keep their hair clean is that the hair ends are moderately wet and do not damage the hair. Careful consideration must be given to growing "beautiful hair". However, currently used hair dryers cannot grow such “beautiful hair”.

  Therefore, it is necessary to create an environment that nurtures “beautiful hair”, which is the desire of women. For this purpose, the appearance of a hair dryer that can effectively dry the root part of the hair and the scalp as well as the surface layer part of the hair. Is desired.

  In view of the above circumstances, the present invention can quickly and effectively dry the surface layer of the hair, the base of the hair that is the lower layer, and the scalp without shaking the hair, and the hair tip is moderately An object of the present invention is to provide a hair dryer that can be kept “beautiful hair” that is moistened and does not damage the hair.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the hair dryer according to any one of the first to third aspects, the finger-like fume tubes 8, 9, and 10 are made of a hard member such as hard synthetic resin or ceramic.

  The effect of the device according to the above solution will be described with reference numerals of the embodiments described later. The hair dryer of the device according to claim 1 includes a heater 2, a blower fan 3, and a body case 1. A motor 4 for driving the blower fan 3 is disposed, and a plurality of finger-like blow pipes 8 each having a plurality of blow holes 12... 9, 10 is formed by branching and projecting a plurality of finger-like fusible tubes 8, 9, 10 into which the warm air is ejected from the respective fumaroles 12... The scalp T and the root part of the hair are quickly and sufficiently moved by moving the inside of the hair K appropriately back and forth and left and right while the tips of the finger-shaped fume tubes 8, 9, and 10 are lightly in contact with or close to the scalp T. The upper layer of the hair K is too dry. It can be dried in order have, in particular to prevent excessive swinging of the bristles, can be dried in a state in which hair is well wetted degree.

  As described above, the scalp T and the base of the hair can be dried quickly and sufficiently, so there is no risk of causing skin damage or hair loss, and the hair cuticle remains closed and does not damage the hair. . Further, since the hair ends can be dried in a moderately wet state, “beautiful hair” that does not damage the hair desired by women can be nurtured.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the warm air blown out from the fume holes 12 of the finger-shaped fistulas 8, 9, 10 is set in a range of about 45 ° C to about 60 ° C, the scalp It can be efficiently and sufficiently dried without damaging T and the root part of the hair. As a result of the experiment, if the hot air temperature is about 45 ° C. or less, it takes a considerable amount of time to dry the scalp T and the root part of the hair, and it is difficult to dry quickly and efficiently. If the temperature of the hot air is about 60 ° C. or more, when the fumaroles 12 of the finger-shaped fistulas 8, 9, 10 are brought into contact with or close to the base of the scalp T and hair, the scalp T and hair It has been found that the root part of the skin is damaged by burning.
