Abstract
A hair styling device including a housing providing an internal chamber and an opening therein, the chamber having air withdrawn therefrom for causing a vacuum in the chamber so that a lock of hair may be drawn into the chamber for drying and styling. Supplementary air orifices are provided about the opening for supplying air, which is preferably heated, to be drawn into the chamber with the lock of hair so as to assist in the drying process. The device may be manipulated with one hand so that the single lock, which has been drawn into the chamber, may be readily styled during the drying process.
