PURPOSE: To generate dry air without generating high temperature blast in drying hair and dry hair without damaging the haw by providing a desiccating agent in a blast path provided in an outlet with a heater to guide air flow produced by the rotation of an impeller.
CONSTITUTION: A drying blast path 5 and reproducing blast path 6 for guiding air around impeller 3 are provided in the center with a regenerating heater 2. The drying blast path 5 is provided in an exhaust port 7 with a drying heater 8, and a change-over plate 9 for changing over the drying and regenerating blast paths 5, 6 is provided. A desiccating agent, for example silica gel or the like is carried by vanes 4 disposed on the outer periphery of the impeller 3 to absorb moisture in air and blow off air as dried air. Since the silica gel absorbing moisture changes its color, the moisture absorbing condition is monitored through notches 12 according to a change in the color. When regeneration is needed, the change-over plate 9 is changed over to the regenerating blast path 6 to electrify the heater 2 for regenerating the silica. gel.
