The First Hair Dryer:
The first hair dryer was the vacuum cleaner! Around the turn of the century, women dried their hair by connecting a hose to the exhaust of their vacuum cleaners. In early models, the front of a vacuum cleaner sucked air in, the back blew air out, and the hose could be attached to either end.
A photograph of a woman sitting under a hairdryer at a Hairdressing Exhibition at Olympia, London, taken by Tomlin for the Daily Herald newspaper on 20 September, 1932. This woman can control the heat of the hairdryer with the device she holds in her hand. After World War One, short hair for women was in fashion. Many hairstyles, such as the permanent wave, required heating, setting or curling - and the technology to achieve the desired results. The first electric hairdryer was invented by Alexandre Godefoy in 1890.
