Abstract
An attachment to a hair dryer is provided including a housing, an ion generator system, and a control box to contain the ion generator system. The housing removably couples to a hair dryer along an air-venting portion of the dryer. The attachment includes a fitting device to enable the attachment to be securely and releasably coupled with any of a variety of hair dryer designs. The ion generator system includes a high-voltage module that generates and emits ions and/or ozone into a stream of air generated by and within the hair dryer. The ion generator includes an ion release configured to deliver ions and/or ozone emitted from the module into a stream of air such that ions and/or ozone become entrained and flow with air from the hair dryer. The ion generator system may further include an actuator switch and a power source operatively coupled to the high-voltage module to control its operation.
