Abstract

A portable hair weave drying device utilizing an external heat or vacuum source is provided. Such a device includes three basic components that are configured to provide an enclosure and internal stand for hair weave placement during such a drying operation. A base for placement of such an internal stand and an ingress port is provided as well, with the port disposed at a bottom location of the overall device for insertion of a heat source (hair dryer nozzle, for instance) or vacuum source (a wet/dry vac nozzle, again, for instance) with an adapter to ensure a snug fit therein. A dome is further provided to place over and around the internal stand and contacted with the base to fully enclose the internal stand (and thus hair weave placed thereon during utilization) and having at least one controlled vent to allow for moisture and hot air to exit during operation.

Claims (5)

1. An inventive hair weave moisture removal device comprising:

i) a flat-bottomed base component having an external top annular ridge extending upward therefrom such that the ridge is present as a wall extending from a base with an external vertical component, an internal vertical component, and a horizontal top edge, the base component further including an ingress port having an external opening and an internal opening present within a portion of the annular ridge,

ii) a removable dome component having closable vents at a highest central part thereof and a parabolic shape to curve inward from an annular open bottom portion thereof, wherein the annular open bottom portion is aligned to fit within and align with the annular ridge of the base component to fit within the confines of the annular ridge, and

iii) an internal hair weave retention rack component configured to fit within the dome component and the base component when the dome component is placed within the base component, wherein the retention rack component is provided as an open structure to allow for heat to circulate therethrough and further includes a retention component to retain a hair weave article.

2. The device of claim 1 further comprising an adapter device for introduction within at least the ingress opening leading from an external portion of the base component through to an internal portion of the dome component in order to allow for a hair dryer device nozzle and/or a vacuum hose nozzle to be introduced snugly therein during utilization and operation for moisture removal from a subject retained hair weave article.
