Abstract
Abstract A hollow nape drying assembly is mounted on a hollow main portion of a hair dryer. Main openings in a plate portion of the nape drying assembly can be aligned with openings in an outer wall of the main portion of the hair dryer. There are inwardly directed air discharge openings in the plate portion spaced from the main openings. The nape drying assembly can be held in an operative position with the main openings in the plate portion aligned with the openings in the outer wall portion so that warm air can be directed through the nape drying assembly, in an inoperative position in which the main openings in the plate portion are out of alignment with the openings in the outer wall portion, and in an intermediate position.
