Earlier this week the entire internet had its collective mind blown when images resurfaced of some retro hair dryers.

Normally people would be rushing out to get their hands on some cool vintage items. However, nobody seemed to be overly enthusiastic about this particular retro piece. We can't say we blame them. 

Let us just say that these don't leave an awful lot of room for any hair drying dance parties a lá this cute pug:

The hair dryers, used between 1928 and 1948 are actually pretty interesting looking. They definitely don’t look very comfortable though.

Mashable posted images of the vintage hair salon accessories and we have to admit, they remind us of something straight out of a horror film.

We think it’s probably safe to say that everyone is quite happy that these have become something of the past. In reality, it wasn’t until the 1970s that handheld dryers became the safest and easiest method used to dry our hair.

We took a trip down memory lane and came across some other old school hair dryers that we’re pretty glad we’re not being subjected to any longer.

That looks far from relaxing:

Is this a plant pot or no?
