Abstract
Abstract An ''''Afro Pic'''' and high speed cold air blower combination comprising a hollow blower housing and an ''''Afro Pic'''' detachably secured to the air outlet end head of the housing. The ''''Afro Pic'''' is provided with an air deflector, so that while the pic itself is used, the deflected air ''''fluffs'''' the hair. The pic is rotatable to a desired angle to make it convenient to manipulate the hair on the side of the head. The device may have a selfcontained power supply built in the housing.
