Drier for artificial hair fibers

Abstract

A drying device for artificial hair fibers which maintains complete airflow around all sides of the fibers by providing a ventilated surface for the hair fibers to rest on and forces air flow around the fibers being dried.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A drying device configured to dry artificial hair strands comprising a ventilated surface, a plurality of fiber strand attachment points, and a plurality of fiber strand retention bands. 
     
     
         2 . A drying device configured to dry artificial hair strands comprising:
 A partially enclosed box with multiple sides, one or more of said sides being perforated, one of said sides being open, and a removable front panel;   A removable rack configured to sit on studs attached to side panels of the partially enclosed box; and   A powered fan configured to mate with the open side of the box such that the box abuts the fan.   
     
     
         3 . A drying device according to  claim 2  further comprising:
 One or more devices configured to dry artificial hair strands a ventilated surface, a plurality of fiber strand attachment points, and a plurality of fiber strand retention bands which may be suspended from the removable rack. 
 
     
     
         4 . A method for drying artificial hair strands comprising:
 Attaching an end of one or more hair strands to a ventilated surface via attachment points affixed to the ventilated surface and   Attaching retention bands to the ventilated surface such that the hair strands are held between the ventilated surface and the retention bands in such that the hair strands are secured to the ventilated surface in a manner in which air may circulate around the hair strands.   
     
     
         5 . A method for drying artificial hair strands comprising:
 Attaching an end of one or more hair strands to a rack such that the strands are suspended from the rack;   Placing the rack and strands inside a partially enclosed box with one or more perforated sides and one open side;   Mating a powered fan to an open side of the box; and   Providing power to the fan such that it forces air through the box, around the hair and out of the perforated sides of the box.   
     
     
         6 . A method for drying artificial hair strands according to  claim 4  further comprising:
 Suspending one or more of the ventilated surfaces, with hair strands attached, from a rack; 
 Placing the rack inside a partially enclosed box with one or more perforated sides; 
 Mating a powered fan to an open side of the box; and 
 Providing power to the fan such that it forces air through the box, around the hair and out of the perforated sides of the box.
