EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the early 20th century with this advertisement for the Petit Sechoir hair dryer, an electrical innovation that revolutionized the way women cared for their hair a hundred years ago. The Petit Sechoir, meaning "little drier" in French, was an electric hair dryer that bore a striking resemblance to the modern hairdryers we use today. This advertisement, dating back to 1910, showcases an Edwardian woman in the comfort of her home, seated in front of a vanity mirror, with a Petit Sechoir hair dryer in her hand. The sleek, elegant design of the hairdryer is evident in the advertisement, as it boasts a compact and portable body, making it a desirable addition to any household. The advertisement promises that the Petit Sechoir can dry wet hair in a fraction of the time it would take to air dry, making it a must-have for women who valued their time and sought convenience in their daily routines. The Petit Sechoir hair dryer was a significant departure from the traditional methods of hair drying, which involved using hot irons or sitting by the fireplace to dry their hair. This advertisement represents the beginning of a new era in hair care, as electric hair dryers became increasingly popular and accessible to the public. The Petit Sechoir hair dryer was not only a status symbol but also a practical solution for women who wanted to manage their hair more efficiently and effectively. This advertisement is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of early 20th-century household electrical appliances and the role they played in shaping the daily lives of women.
