Dry and Go with Vintage Hair Dryers
For thousands of years, it seems as though women have had a profound impact
on the care of their hair. The way that a woman keeps her hair has been
known as a sign of the woman's personality. With the help of a hair dryer,
styling hair can be so much easier.
Many years ago, women would go to the salon for a quick wash and cut.
However, there were no hair dryers around to dry the women's hair. It was
not unusual to see a woman sitting in a salon with her hair hanging out of
the window. The wind from outside was what was used to dry the ladies hair.
As time progressed, some of the first hair dryers came out. Being as these
were very heavy and expensive, many people could not afford to have one in
their homes. Even salons shied away from hair dryers, as they were seen as
cumbersome and expensive.
Other methods of drying hair were used prior to the invention of the modern
hair dryer. Often times, bonnets were placed on the woman's head, and there
was an attachment for a vacuum hose. On one end, the hose was attached to
the bonnet, while on the other, attached to the vacuum. The vacuum would
then be turned on, creating the outgoing air onto the hair, causing it to
dry. In today's times, such a vintage hair dryer seems almost silly. In
those days, it was what worked.
The evolution of the hair dryer is simply amazing. From the gas powered hair
dryers in the Thirties, to the pink plastic bonnet that that was connected
to the hair dryer in the Fifties, hair dryers have come such a long way. Nowadays, hair dryers are much more simplistic, and there are such features as a
cooling element that prevents split ends while drying hair. Hair
dryers seem to have come such a long way in a short amount of time, and yet
there are only better things to come.
