Visiting your hairstylist soon? Impress them with some trivia! Hooded dryers began to appear in salons during the 1930s. They were perfectly suited to the increasingly complicated hairstyles of the ensuing decades, which required women to visit salons on a weekly basis to have their hair “set.” In an attempt to mimic the salon experience at home, portable bonnet hair dryers, which had a shower-cap style headpiece attached to a hose and motor, debuted in the early 1950s.
