Car hair dryer?

I watched a lot of infomercial lately, especially Vat19.com. Some of the products looks silly and funny but INGENIOUS. A cuff-link lighter, An all-in-1 measuring cup/spoon, DIY smartphone projector, rainbow maker. Yes to some it sounds silly, who need a lighter/cuff-link? Why would I need a rainbow maker? Yes it is quite silly, but hey it's fun. Same goes to HSN. Yesterday I watched an infomercial on Drop Stop car seat filler. A simple contraption but useful.

This afternoon, I went to my hair-dresser. I told him
"Yeah, I have wiry hair. It's best to use wax or clay to style. But I just don't have the time to let my hair dry."

Living in a hot tropical country, hair gets oily faster. No, I don't shampoo my hair everyday, but I rinsed them everyday. Using cold water of course.

The rule of thumb of hair styling,

1. Gel and mousse on damp hair, i.e towel dried hair
2. Wax, clay and putty on air dried hair. 

Air drying is either leaving them dry in ambient air, or using hair dryer.

Most men don't own hair dryers. Real man doesn't need one! (in a tough, macho tone)

Well, try putting clay or wax or putty on damp hair. They look lifeless. The hair is still damp, sticking together and you add more weight instead of volume. They look flat.

I left my hair dryer in the big city. I don't really use them anyway. Not because I am macho but I style my hair in my car before getting out of the car.

Raise your hand if you apply make-ups in your car. Yeah life is sometimes busy. One can't avoid this.

So imagine if you need a hair dryer but you are too busy, rushing. What if there's a in-car hair dryer.

Option one

• Buy an ac/dc converter with electrical socket. Plug in the cigarette lighter. Plug in your normal hair dryer to the ac/dc converter. Too bulky? Too technical?

Option two

• Just blow your hair with the a/c blower. But not really suitable for short-haired person. My other bestie, Jeanne and my late cousin Estelle use this technique. Well she had long hair. And my car a/c has only cooling mode, no heating mode unlike high end European car. (My car is locally made, who needs the heating mode in the hot tropical climate? And yes, we are cheap)
• However, one can only cool dry their hair. What if you need to set your hair using medium or high heat? Again, it's hard to direct the air flow to your hair.

What if

• there an adapter for hose from the blower for you to direct the air to your hair? Kinda like the hand dryer/hair dryer thingy hose? Those wall mounted hotel hair dryers?
• and one can just plug in the heating element in the hose to the cigarette holder to heat the air? (optional feature in case you drive a cheap car like mine, no heater)

Collapsible hose are compact. So it's easy to store. Unlike option one where one have to carry bulky ac/dc converter and hair dryer, and more practical than option two.

Hmmm, I should draw the diagram. If only I could patent my idea? Or is it patented already?

Stay tune for the diagram.

Wall mounted hair dryer. Commonly seen in hotels. Perhaps there are millions of kleptomaniac quest whose hobby is to steal hair dryers? Imagine attaching the hose to your car a/c vent. Just the hose. Without the bulky box thingy. If heater is needed, then just add the heater to the hose and plug it in the cigarette lighter socket. And one can just store the hose in the glove compartment or under the seat. (provided it's not occupied by make-ups and shoes... my mother used to keep 3 pairs of shoes under her seat)
