Vintsge Sleek Sunbeam hair dryer with a compact design. Features a white and gray finish. Ideal for efficient styling. The image shows a vintage Lady Sunbeam hair dryer, specifically a portable, bonnet-style model from the 1960s or 1970s. This appliance was designed to mimic the salon experience at home, allowing users to set their hair in rollers and relax while it dries. It typically came as a compact unit in its own carry case, often including a soft, shower-cap style bonnet to which a hose was attached. The dryer featured "Controlled Heat" with various settings, and some models even doubled as a nail polish dryer. The widespread availability of such affordable plastic appliances in the mid-20th century reflected the era's focus on feminine beauty and specific hairstyles.
