21. The apparatus as described in the claim 19, characterized in that the apparatus is rotatably coupled within at least one of the barrel of the air dryer and a rotary air direction apparatus for the barrel of the hair dryer.

22. The apparatus as described in the claim 19, characterized in that it further comprises a nozzle member coupled adjacent to the outlet opening, and comprising an angled tubular member having a nozzle opening positioned at an acute angle relative to the exit opening.

23. An apparatus for rotating and directing air from a barrel of a hair dryer, wherein the apparatus comprises: an angled tubular member; an entrance opening; Y an outlet opening positioned at an acute angle relative to the entry opening and ovular in shape, having a longer diameter extending from a linear point with a flat circumference of the entry opening, to a point linearly between a center of the entrance opening and an opposite point in the flat circumference of the entrance opening.

24. The apparatus as described in claim 23, characterized in that it further comprises a tubular rotating member coupled adjacent to the inlet opening and comprising a circumferential inner surface and a plurality of curved blades, each having a fixed edge at the circumferential inner surface and a free edge defining a central opening space of the tubular rotating member.

25. The apparatus as described in the claim 23, characterized in that the tubular rotating member is rotatably coupled within at least one of the barrel of the hair dryer and a rotary air direction apparatus for the barrel of the hair dryer.
