A fan motor is disclosed. The fan motor includes an impeller, a rotational shaft, a plurality of bearings, and a heat dissipation fin. The impeller is mounted on the rotational shaft. The plurality of bearings support the rotational shaft. The heat dissipation fin is mounted on the rotational shaft and includes rotating blades rotating centering on the rotational shaft. According to this, the heat dissipation fin may cool the bearing by using convection.

A hair styling device comprises a heating contact surface (HP) for applying heat to hair; a temperature sensor (TS) for sensing a hair temperature; and a control circuit to control a heating of the heating contact surface (HP) in such a manner that a first temperature setting that applies when hair is wet, does not exceed a threshold temperature, the threshold temperature not exceeding 120 C., while a second temperature setting of at least 140 C. applies when the hair is not wet.

A dryer for drying hair or clothes is disclosed. The dryer includes a head and a handle attached to the head. The dryer further includes ultrasonic devices, a controller, a vacuum pump, and a reservoir. The head has a surface on which inlet holes are formed. The ultrasonic devices are positioned on the surface of the head. The ultrasonic devices produce ultrasonic vibrations that break down water molecules into mist. The controller controls an operation of the ultrasonic devices. The vacuum pump is positioned inside the head to generate suction force that draws the mist into the head. The reservoir is positioned inside the handle and connected to the vacuum pump by way of a conduit. The reservoir collects the mist generated by the plurality of the ultrasonic devices.

Aspects of hair styling instruments and methods for styling hair into waves and curls have been provided herein. In one embodiment, a case for receiving and styling hair therein, comprises a base having at least a bottom, a center, and a perimeter; and a lid coupleable with the base; wherein the lid and the base form a volume for receiving the hair; and wherein the at least the bottom of the base and the lid each include a plurality of openings to allow flow of air and liquids through the case.

A hair grooming apparatus includes a vacuum mechanism and a vacuum chamber that is in fluid communication with the vacuum mechanism. The vacuum chamber includes a first opening positioned at a first end of the vacuum chamber with a first cross-sectional area and arranged to accommodate an insertion of a section of hair and a second opening positioned at a second and opposite end of the vacuum chamber. The vacuum chamber further includes a wall extending between the first and second openings and defining an interior bore. An air pocket is formed along a section of the interior bore extending from a first location located proximate to the first opening with a second cross-sectional area to a second location positioned between the first location and the second opening with a third cross-sectional area. The second cross-sectional area is greater than both the first cross-sectional area and the third cross-sectional area.
