Attachment for a hand held appliance

A hand held appliance comprising a handle having a fluid flow path from a handle inlet to a handle outlet, a fan unit for drawing fluid into the handle inlet, and an attachment for attaching to the handle, the attachment comprising an inlet in a proximal first portion of the attachment;

• an outlet in a cylindrical second portion of the attachment;
• and a fluid flow path between the inlet and the outlet, wherein the outlet in the cylindrical second portion of the attachment comprises at least one slot extending continuously from the proximal first portion to a distal end of the attachment, wherein the outlet is at least partially defined by an external surface of a substantially contiguous wall of the attachment and is configured to direct fluid flow emitted from the outlet tangentially along and around the external surface of the substantially contiguous wall to form a circumferential fluid flow around the cylindrical second portion of the attachment that encourages hair to automatically wrap around the cylindrical second portion, wherein the external surface of the substantially contiguous wall is an outermost surface of the attachment along an entire length of the attachment from a beginning of the at least one slot to an end of the at least one slot, and wherein the distal end of the attachment is closed.
