A hair dryer assembly generally comprises a hair dryer and a discharge housing. The hair dryer includes a body defining a cavity, an inlet for airflow to enter the cavity, and an outlet for airflow to exit the cavity. The discharge housing is configured to receive the airflow from the outlet, and includes an inlet end, a closed end opposite the inlet end, and a channel wall intermediate the inlet end and the closed end. The channel wall defines a hair receiving channel and an outlet for airflow to exit the discharge housing. The channel wall extends continuously around the hair receiving channel such that hair within the channel is surrounded by the channel wall. The outlet is configured to direct airflow out of the discharge housing and towards hair within the hair receiving channel. The discharge housing also includes a sidewall extending at least partly around the channel wall.

A handheld appliance having a body and an attachment, the body includes an attachment mechanism having a slot and an actuator, the attachment including a protrusion adapted to engage with the slot wherein the actuator has a first position and a second position and the actuator is moved from the first position towards the second position as the protrusion engages with the slot. In the first position the actuator may at least partially obscures the slot. The actuator includes a surface which may interact with the protrusion when the protrusion engages with the slot. The surface may be adapted to at least partially define the slot at or near the second position. When the protrusion is at a pre-determined position within the slot, the actuator may return towards the first position. The actuator may be biased into the first position.

A hair dryer includes a main body, a handle, and a diffuser. The diffuser includes a diffusing case having a rear side coupled to the main body. The main body is provided such that a front end of an outer wall surrounds a gas or air outlet, and a first coupling portion coupled with the diffuser is provided at the front end. The diffusing case includes a second coupling portion coupled to the first coupling portion while surrounding a gas or air inlet hole defined at the rear side. The first coupling portion includes a power transmitter to supply power to the diffuser, and the second coupling portion includes a power receiver to receive the power from the power transmitter.

A composition for electrostatic spraying according to the present disclosure contains a microcapsule, a solvent for dispersion, and an acidic conductive regulator. An electrostatic spraying device includes an atomizer that electrostatically atomizes the composition for electrostatic spraying. Since the composition for electrostatic spraying contains an acidic conductive regulator, droplets that are acidic aqueous solutions are generated by electrostatic atomization. When the generated droplets are supplied to a supply target site, an effect based on a property of the droplets as the acidic aqueous solutions is exerted on the supply target site.
