SPIN AND AIR DRYER FOR ARTIFICIAL AND VIRGIN HAIR BUNDLES AND WIGS AND METHODS THEREOF

摘要

The presently disclosed subject matter: Spin and Air Dryer For Artificial and Virgin Hair Bundles and Wigs. Generally, the present invention comprises at least embodiments related to devices and methods for drying pliant plies of material and pliant wefts of co-hemmed elongate and/or depending materials or hair having a hem with a directed flow of air and centrifugal force. Specifically, the present invention comprises embodiments of a device method/device for drying depending strands of artificial hair suitable for use as cosmetic hair extensions. According to an aspect, a method of drying a pliant elongate ply having a handle end, comprising engaging the handle end of the ply with a hanger; supporting the hanger above a drying chamber with a hanger perch; enclosing the drying chamber within a housing, defining an airflow volume; and rotatably supporting the drying chamber with respect to the housing, such that the ply is supported vertically within the drying chamber and alternately supported at least one of in a path of a flow of drying air and under centrifugal force within the drying chamber. According to an aspect, a device for drying a pliant elongate ply having a handle end, such as a weft of hair /etc / having a hem, comprising: a hanger configured to engage the weft/hem/handle end; a hanger perch configured to support the hanger above a drying chamber; and a housing defining an airflow volume configured to enclose the drying chamber therein, wherein the drying chamber is rotatably supported within the housing, such that the device is configured to vertically support the weft within the drying chamber and be alternately supported at least one of in a path of a flow of drying air through and under centrifugal force within the drying chamber. According to an aspect, embodiments comprise ones in which the airflow useful within the airflow volume can be sourced from a variety of directions, such as from any location within the airflow volume, from within the housing in such locations as may be outside the airflow volume, including locations as inside or outside of the drying chamber, or from such apertures above and below the volume, such as, but not limited to a vented lid, annular or side manifold, and/or base.
