Abstract
A detachable or integral nozzle for a hair dryer is shown that can easily be modified from a first configuration delivering a stream of hot air with an approximately circular cross section, until a stream of air is produced with an approximately rectangular cross section, that is broad and flat. The nozzle includes a sleeve fitted with two folding vents capable of making an axial pivoting movement about geometrical axes, and a pair of flaps capable of making a pivoting movement about geometrical axes perpendicular to the pivot axes of the folding vents.
