Description

[Detailed description of the invention] 【Technical field】

The present invention relates to a hair curler capable of generating steam and blowing air.

[Background technology]

Hair curlers include those that use a cylindrical body called a so-called He7 curler, as well as those that use a brush or an off-site hair dryer that can dry and curl the hair. This hair dryer set is easier to handle than the hair curlers mentioned above, and can be used to curl hair in a short time by using hot air. In addition to over-drying the hair, which can damage the hair, it also has the problem that the curling force is weak, and it quickly returns to its original state. For this purpose, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-136704, a hair dryer set is equipped with a steam generation function, and the hair is wrapped around the hair wrapper while applying steam to the hair. A method has been proposed in which the steam is blown away with cold air, thereby making it possible to strongly curl the hair without damaging the hair. However, in the above-mentioned hair curler, the steam generator for generating steam is housed in the same location as the blower, so the steam generator acts as a resistance to blowing air, making it difficult to blow a large amount of air. The problem was that it was difficult. Therefore, in order to be able to blow air, the feature of the hair dryer set, which is capable of drying the hair, is sacrificed, and a separate hair dryer is required for drying the hair.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been devised in view of these points, and its purpose is to provide a hair curler that can curl hair without damaging it and that fully exhibits the hair drying function. be.
