Foo - Besides drying your hair, what else do you use a hair dryer for?

I dry my feet after a shower. It works really well for drying in between my toes. :D

done that. my kids like me to blow the hair dryer up their bath robes after a bath or shower. done that too. I dry my dog with the hair dryer and have used it to spot dry a garment after a water spill.

I used one to dry out my cast after workouts :eek:

That + Febreeze = awesomely smelly wrist.

Yep, when it is real cold out I also dry the dogs with the hair dryer. Giving baths and drying three German Shepherds in the winter time takes me about two hours. That includes all the clean up. :)

I use ours to heat up shrink-wrap sleeves for my tennis raquet grips.

It does heat-shrink vinyl very well.

I use one to spice things up in the bedroom.


And by 'spice things up in the bedroom'...I mean: I don't own a hairdryer.

You use a hairdryer in the bedroom but don’t actually own one………..

Nothing, I haven't had a hairdryer in ... oh wait, I never have

To thaw out a frozen water pipe I forgot to wrap.

Don't use one for my hair, do use one to tighten mylar, tissue paper, and other covering materials.

Water feezes in California?

seems like it would take forever to "shake" your hair dry though;):eek:

:rolleyes:

I used ours this past week to put up the window sealers to keep out the drafts of winter.

Stuff works pretty well so far.

Now if only I could afford new windows altogether.....

I don't have enough hair to warrant a hairdryer.

it is winter time:
you can dry your ski boots, soften wax and/or warm up ski base in prep for wax

and I've also used a hair dryer to heat up hockey sticks --a blow torch is much better though.

I use it to de-fog the mirror before I use it to dry my hair. Exciting!

Ski boots, drying out shoes.

The only thing I can think of that I've ever used a hair dryer for is drying paint samples.

Doing the toplines on show cows.

Euphemism? Naughty!

When SWMBO's hair dryer broke one time I used the leaf blower on her hair.

Every once in a while, I'll hand it to my wife while she's in the shower. She hates that.

You just need a waterproof hair dryer. Dry the hair as it gets wet. Efficiency = super!

I just bath in powdered water, much faster.

your mind often surprises me in both "oh my god he's BRILLIANT" and "oh my god he SCARES me" ways.

Behind porn, of course.


your mind often surprises me in both "oh my god he's BRILLIANT" and "oh my god he SCARES me" ways.I once used two hairdryers at once out of sheer laziness. I tripped the breaker. :(

Try tossing it to her when she's in the tub. That should result in a facial expression worth photographing.

they're great for counteracting cold weather shrinkage

toasters leave crumbs in my hair, then the birds move in and from there it is all downhill.

Have used the hair dryer to:

(besides hair)

Spot dry clothes
Dry clothes that (AWW, FEK, I NEED IT FOR WORK) had to wash the night before and it wasn't dry ...
use to finalize plastic on windows for the winter
couple of craft projects
dry out my bike shoes

And when you get used to not using one - it's like - MEH - don't need one ... and then something hits - even like a person staying at your place - "Hey do you have a hairdryer?".

Just one of those things you just keep on hand :)

Toasters are a lot more classic.

Yes, but more questions get asked.

Melting old wax off a surfboard. Faster than leaving it in the sun or pouring really warm water over it.

I still remember when a certain lady friend asked if I had a dryer by any chance. When I said yeahuh she sorta gave me a sly 'oh I see' look. Try as much as I could that I bought it to dry my boots, she was'nt buying it :o

Whatever you do, don't assume that a hair dryer and a heat gun are the same thing. One dries your hair. The other melts your scalp off. A subtle, but important, difference.

Tell me about it, I stood there for three friggin hours waiting for my scalp to melt off and then found out I was using the hair dryer. Boy did I feel stupid, not to mention I had dry fly away hair for the rest of the day.

I did once try to get the heatshrik on using a hairdryer till a Tech stated rolling on the floor in laughter next to me. No Funni :mad:

drying paint, drying elmers glue, removing decals from automobiles.
