Let’s talk about the hair dryer! Doree tells Kate about how it started as a metal contraption you could connect to your vacuum or your gas stove pipe(!!) and evolved into the hand held hair dryer you know today. They also discuss the utility companies’ hand in this tools rise in popularity, how “the bob” played a part in the development of this tool, and why the technology of the bonnet dryer is making a comeback. It’s a boom of blowing technology!
