A hair dryer with an ionizing solution provides a translucent reservoir which contains an ionized solution. The hair dryer heats the solution into a vapor, and may then be used to apply the ionized vapor to a salon client's hair while styling it, to prevent brittleness, damage, and split ends. In one embodiment a cradle is provided for recharging a handheld hair dryer and storing various attachments which are ready for immediate use. When separated from the handheld hair dryer, the cradle transfers electric power to the hair dryer via resonant inductive coupling, creating an oscillating magnetic field which is converted to electric power by components within the hair dryer. A second embodiment provides a standing hair dryer. The hair dryer also provides wireless internet and power outlets for mobile electronic devices.

A portable hair weave drying device utilizing an external heat or vacuum source is provided. Such a device includes three basic components that are configured to provide an enclosure and internal stand for hair weave placement during such a drying operation. A base for placement of such an internal stand and an ingress port is provided as well, with the port disposed at a bottom location of the overall device for insertion of a heat source (hair dryer nozzle, for instance) or vacuum source (a wet/dry vac nozzle, again, for instance) with an adapter to ensure a snug fit therein. A dome is further provided to place over and around the internal stand and contacted with the base to fully enclose the internal stand (and thus hair weave placed thereon during utilization) and having at least one controlled vent to allow for moisture and hot air to exit during operation.

A dryer stand may include a base, a body having a first end connected to the base and a second end spaced upward from the base, a receptacle in which a dryer for discharging drying air may be mounted, a receptacle located in the second end of the body, the receptacle capable of receiving a dryer for discharging drying air, a fan located in the body to cause a flow of air to be introduced into the body and to be discharged outside the body, and an air purifier disposed in a flow path of the flow of air. The base may be provided with a suction hole or a discharge hole through which air sucked into the body by the fan passes, thereby purifying indoor air.

A drying machine includes a dryer and a stand. The dryer includes a casing having a front opening, a grip including a cylindrical grip body downwardly extended from the casing, and a lower cover covering a lower opening part of the grip body. The stand includes a hollow portion matched up with the grip, and a seating unit in which the dryer is rotatably seated. The grip includes a first electrical terminal positioned in the grip body and a second electrical terminal positioned in the lower cover. The seating unit includes a first contact terminal positioned in the hollow portion and electrically connected to the first electrical terminal, and a second contact terminal positioned in the hollow portion and electrically connected to the second electrical terminal. The first and second contact terminals maintain an electrical connection with the first and second electrical terminals regardless of the rotation of the dryer.

A dryer stand including a side cover having a through hole through which air is introduced and discharged, a seat provided above the side cover and allowing a dryer to be positioned thereon and an air purifier disposed in an inner space defined by the side cover, wherein the air purifier includes a fan for generating an air flow, and a filter disposed in a flow path of air flowing by the fan to dry a target object.

A dryer stand including a seat to receive a dryer thereon, a base spaced apart from the seat downward, a side cover forming a side appearance between the base and the seat, and a light positioned in an internal space defined by the side cover.

A dryer stand for mounting a dryer for discharging air, including a stem, a base, a receptacle on which the dryer is mounted, a moving apparatus including a rotation motor and connected to the receptacle, and a controller. The controller enables the position of the receptacle to be changed or returned by controlling the forward and backward rotation of the rotation motor so that the receptacle is moved in a given direction when a position change command for the receptacle is received and the receptacle returns to its original position when a position return command for the receptacle is received.

A dryer includes a plurality of first electronic parts including a fan and a heater, a first battery to supply power to the first electronic parts, and a first controller to control power of the first battery. The first controller detects a charging ratio of the first battery, enters a first power saving mode if the charging ratio is a threshold charging ratio or less, and limits power supplied to at least one of the plurality of first electronic parts. A holder for holding the dryer includes a plurality of second electronic parts including a plurality of contact terminals, a second battery to supply power to the second electronic parts, and a second controller to detect a charging ratio of the second battery and enter a second power saving mode to limit power supplied to at least one of the plurality of second electronic parts.

A dryer stand having a base, a body having a first end connected to the base and a second end spaced upward from the base, and a receptacle located in the second end of the body, the receptacle being mounted to the second end of the body is provided. The receptacle can receive a dryer for discharging drying air. The mounting of the receptacle enables at least one of a tilting operation and a rotation operation in a clockwise-counterclockwise direction so that the discharge direction of the drying air can be shifted toward a front-rear direction and clockwise-counterclockwise direction with respect to the dryer stand, either simultaneously or separately, depending on the position and size of the object to be dried.
