Abstract
The present embodiments relate to a hair drying system that allows for proper drying of hair and a scalp of a user underneath hair or hair accessories (e.g., hair extensions) to avoid or minimize scalp damage, mold or mildew and to ensure that the hair dries properly. The hair drying system can include several flexible tubes that delivers air through the holes of the tubes. The tubes can be secured on the head of a wearer such that the air is directed to underneath the hair extensions or any other portion of the head where the wearer intends to dry the hair. The hair drying system can be portable, making it easy for users to carry the hair drying system anywhere, and can be mounted on a height adjustable stand for ease of use.

- a set of flexible tubes configured to engage with the main body and to be disposed around a head of a user, each tube of the set of flexible tubes including—
- a series of openings formed along a first portion of each tube, wherein each tube is configured to direct the airflow from the main body to the series of openings to uniformly distribute air along the first portion of each tube via the series of openings;
- and
- a gripping mechanism disposed along the first portion of each tube, the gripping mechanism configured to engage each tube to any of the head, a portion of hair of the user, and a hair accessory of the user.
