Abstract
Abstract Hair dryer comprising a motor, an air blowing nozzle and a hand grip. The hand grip of the hair dryer is pivotably attached to the motor body so that it can be brought in two different positions. A carrier loop is detachably affixed on the blowing nozzle. In one position of the handgrip, the hair dryer is convenient for use, in the other position it occupies little space when packed or when the loop is placed around the user's neck.
