Don't Drip: Dry
About 50 million American women fight the Medusa menace--the serpentine hairdo that turned thousands of men to stone --without the help of hairdressers. They wash their own hair at home, set it with enough metal to plate a light cruiser, and then wonder how to dry it. Adding to the available hand dryers (wearying) and the portable hood models, the Norge division of Borg-Warner now offers a new solution --an attachment that snaps over the clothes port of any Norge laundry dryer.
Looking slightly prehistoric with its long, grasping, enameled neck, the gadget ($29.95) allows the housewife to follow an easy double routine: she pops her dirty clothes into the washer, then washes her hair, sets it while the wet clothes are drying, then attaches the gadget to the emptied dryer and puts her head under it. She emerges dripped and dried, but possibly wondering about the day when she herself might be folded neatly by her husband, and placed with great care in the linen closet.
