Many of us use a hair dryer to dry our hair instead of standing out in the sun. Who invented this useful tool? “In 1888, Alexandre-Ferdinand Godefroy, a French coiffeur inventeur—that’s hairstylist inventor—patented the hair dryer’s earliest ancestor. The contraption was to be hooked up ‘to any suitable form of heater,’ which would send hot air through a pipe to a dome surrounding the woman’s head” (Gross par. 1). Do you prefer hand-held hair blowers or the big ones in hair salons?
