  In addition, since the hot air generation chamber with a built-in heat source, fan, and fan motor that drives the fan is separated from the chamber with the mist generation device that generates mist, the evaporation of mist due to hot air can be reduced and efficient. It is possible to provide a hair dryer that generates mist having negative ions.

  With this hair dryer, negative ions protect cuticles of hair and prevent the spread of the cuticles by combining the negative ions with the moisture present in the air and hair to align the negative ions. And smooth hair. Moisture ionized by negative ions becomes ultrafine particles that penetrate into the hair cells and moisten the hair while giving it a moderate amount of moisture. Can be prevented. Further, when the hair is moistened, it is possible to make it difficult for oil or dust to adhere to it. Furthermore, when the molecular arrangement of the hair is arranged, it is easy to blow, and it becomes easy to arrange the hair into a desired hairstyle. Negative ions can ease the irritation to the scalp surface during blowing, so it is gentle on the skin and good for your health. Effects such as can be obtained.

  In addition, this hair dryer is equipped with a silver ion generator. When hair is dried and treated, it disinfects and disinfects bacteria that exist in the living environment, and dust and dirt attached to the hair roots and skin. Alternatively, it can generate silver ion mist that removes the source of odor secreted from the skin.

  In the above description, the electrothermal hair dryer has been described as an example. However, the embodiment does not limit the structure of the hair dryer or the type thereof. The present invention is not limited to the electric heating type, and can be applied to a hair dryer of a heating method using other heat sources.
