The invention relates to a hair styling device, and in particular a multifunctional hair styling device having components which can carry out a number of different (and distinct) styling operations. The invention provides a hair styling device having a body portion and a handle portion, the body portion having an air inlet and an air outlet, an impeller between the air inlet and the air outlet and an electric motor to rotate the impeller, the handle portion having a pair of heating panels. The handle portion is separable from the body portion and can be used alone as a hair straighter, or the device can be used as a hair dryer with the handle portion attached to the body portion. The body portion can optionally include a hair curling chamber adapted for hair curling.

A universal hair scent diffuser having a hollow upper body hingedly affixed to a lower body, the upper body having an open end that houses an interior lining therein made of heat resistant elastomeric material, wherein the lining is graduated at the open end to facilitate a press fit connection to a barrel end of a conventional hand hair dryer. The lower body houses a wire mesh that receives a scented disc thereon. The upper body has a wire mesh located at a lower open end. The scented sheet is placed between both wire meshes when the upper body and lower body are in a latch position. The diffuser is then fitted on the barrel end. The user may then turn on the hair dryer to the desired fan and heat levels and the sheet is vaporized providing a pleasant and refreshing aromatic scent onto the user's hair.

A drying apparatus is proposed. When at least one drying condition of a discharge position, a temperature, air volume, and the drying area of air is selected, the drying apparatus may discharge air according to the selected drying condition. The discharge of the air may be performed from the main body (10) and a moving bar (230) moving up and down along the front surface of the main body (100). The drying condition may be automatically or manually selected. The drying area may include entire body and partial body. The moving bar (230) may discharge air while moving up and down within a height range corresponding to the selected drying area, and may improve the effect of drying a user's body in cooperation with air discharged from the main body (100).

A drying apparatus is proposed. A main body (100) may constitute the frame of the drying apparatus. A front end frame (102) and a rear end frame (106) may constitute the exterior of the main body (100). A moving bar (230) may discharge air while moving up and down along the front surface of the main body (100). A duct (130) may be installed in the main body (100), and air flown by a fan assembly (160) may be separated in the duct and be discharged to a user through the edges of the front surface of the main body to dry the user. A drive assembly (210) moving the moving bar (230) up and down may be installed in the installation space (150) defined in the duct (130).
