Abstract

A hairdressing device comprises a hand held unit, a blower assembly, a hose and a warm-air line. The hand held unit includes a cylindrical hair roller defining an axis of rotation and having a plurality of openings, a motor for rotatably driving the hair roller about its axis of rotation, and a nozzle through which air is blown against the hair roller in a direction perpendicular to the hair roller axis of rotation. The blower assembly includes a blower housing and a blower including a motor disposed in the blower housing. The hose connects the hand held unit to the blower such that air is drawn by the blower through the plurality of openings in the hair roller, the hose and into the housing, from which the drawn air exits. The warm-air line connects the hand held unit to the blower housing, such that air aspirated by the blower to cool the blower motor is delivered as warm-air through the warm-air line to the nozzle.
