A hair drying assembly comprising a hair drying including a housing defining a straight line air pathway therethrough. The housing includes a circular air outlet, and an elongated handle is connected to the housing. The hair drying assembly also includes a hollow concentrator including an elongated outlet and a circular inlet, and a mechanism for releasably connecting the concentrator to the dryer housing so that the concentrator circular inlet is aligned with the hair dryer circular outlet and so that the concentrator elongated outlet is parallel to the handle. The connecting mechanism comprises tabs on one of the hair dryer housing and the concentrator, and tab engaging projections on the other of the hair dryer housing and the concentrator for releasably holding the tabs when the concentrator circular inlet is adjacent the hair dryer circular outlet and the concentrator is rotated in one direction relative to the hair dryer. The tab engaging projections also release the tabs when the concentrator is rotated in an opposite direction relative to the hair dryer.
A hair drying assembly comprising a hair dryer including a housing defining a straight line air pathway therethrough and including a circular air outlet, and an elongated handle connected to said housing, a hollow concentrator including an elongated outlet and a circular inlet, means for releasably connecting said concentrator to said dryer housing so that said concentrator circular inlet is aligned with said hair dryer circular outlet and so that said concentrator elongated outlet is parallel to said handle, said connecting means comprising projection means on said hair dryer housing and projection engaging means on said concentrator for releasably holding said projection means when said concentrator circular inlet is adjacent said hair dryer circular outlet and said concentrator is rotated in one direction relative to said hair dryer, and for releasing said projection means when said concentrator is rotated in an opposite direction relative to said hair dryer, grooming means including an attachment portion comprising a pair of parallel spaced apart rails, and means for releasably attaching said grooming means to said concentrator elongated outlet comprising parallel spaced apart outwardly open indentations on said concentrator, which indentations receive said attachment portion rails.
