Vintage Hair Dryers

If you are looking for vintage hair dryers you are not going to find them in stores where modern hair dryers are sold. Instead, you will need to go off the beaten path to online boutiques, auctions and boutiques. Also if you have an antique store in your area they may have antique hair products. However because this area is so specialized you will probably find the highest level of selection on the Internet. The first thing you'll need to do is go to your favorite search engine, preferably a major one like Google or Yahoo.

From there you can conduct searches for vintage dryers. You may come across online antique stores and even auctions that feature these appliances. The first type of home dryer was the bonnet. The bonnet was attached to a hose which was connected to the box. The box was where the on/off switch and other controls were located. They still make bonnet style dryers, however they are far improved from the vintage models of yesteryear. Usually people only buy old fashioned dryers for collectible reasons.

There are also a variety of hand held dryers from eras past. The first hand held dryer was invented in 1971 and revolutionized the industry. No longer did women have to sit under a bonnet or salon dryer for long periods of time. Hand held dryers quickly became the most popular type of hair dryer and have evolved into the innovative tourmaline and ionic models we have today. You can find old hand held dryers at many of the same places old bonnet dryers are sold.

When buying vintage hair dryers you should know they are not considered safe for use. If you want an old fashioned dryer that can be used, consider a brand new bonnet style dryer. With a bonnet dryer you can sit under the hood while your hair is dried. This is great for women with arthritis and other problems that may make it hard to hold a hair dryer for extended periods of time. Also, bonnet style dryers are perfect for heat setting your curls. If you are the owner of an old-fashioned hair dryer you may wonder what it is worth on the antique market. This all depends on the age, brand and condition of the item and requires market research.
