Abstract

A nozzle attachment for a hair dryer has a cylindrical element for connecting a flow-directing member to the nozzle of a hair dryer. The flow-directing member deflects the air coming from the hair dryer by a certain acute angle. The flow-directing member is rotatable relative to the cylindrical element. Vanes are provided within the flow-directing member. They are slanted to the direction of air flow from the hair dryer, so that impingement of air on the vanes causes the flow-directing member to rotate thus providing air flow having a continually varying flow direction.
