Abstract

A hairstyling tool has a bowl having a plurality of bowl convex portions and bowl concave portions. The bowl concave portions form air channels. A plurality of openings is disposed on a bottom of the bowl. There are more than twenty openings. A handle is connected to the bowl. The handle has a handle connection with the bowl. A base extends from the bottom of the bowl. The base extends downward around the plurality of openings disposed on the bottom of the bowl. The base forms an air capture indent for directing airflow through the plurality of openings. The handle concave portions and handle convex portions may provide the handle a wavy shape. The handle may extend from a bowl convex portion between a pair of air channels. A palm rest can be at a free end of the handle.
