All this while your clothes dried… I keep thinking norge but im only guessing at this point now..If so does anybody have one or know something about them…Im sure there are many companies that offered this I'm guessing…mark in arizona.. I know vacuums offered this option..

Tidie Dryer by Ronco

There were other variations of those small hair/laundry dryers. Wagner and Sunbeam IIRC also had models.
They all were from an era when "nice" girls still laundered their danties by hand and usually left things to hang dry. Anyone growing up through say the 1970's probably well remembers entering a bathroom and having to duck stockings, slips and other undergarments drip drying over the bathtub.
This was also the era of "wash and sets" with curlers so you needed a way to dry one's hair. Small portable soft bonnet hair dryers were seen as "modern" and certainly more portable than the hard shell versions.
Sadly for Ronco and the rest many females the blow dryer replaced wash and sets and the washing machine (with or without a dryer) all that hand washing.

You can find those sort of dryers all over eBay
Along with thrifts, garage sales and so forth. Many in NIB or otherwise mint condition.
As with so many appliances sold/foisted upon the female consumer market they were not a resounding success. The hair dryer market was saturated with all types of bonnet units both hard and soft, portable and stationary. As for drying intimate apparel these units didn't hold very much. With the rise of nylon and other man-made fibers for undergarments you really shouldn't put such things in any dryer. Besides they will drip dry quite quickly.

Actually, you did not use it while the clothes were drying because it would fill m'lady's hair with lint. The lint would probably eventually clog the little holes in the inner bonnet.
Speaking of doing one's hair

When I was a kid, my mom get her hair done a few times in a salon that had one of these in a back corner. Bored kid that I was I checked behind the curtains at the back of the place and found it. It looked like a torture device and some people on whom it had been used might have agreed. This might have contributed to the term "hair burner." I imagine that by the mid to late 50s, these might have been obsolete.

Once the "cold wave" process was perfected (using chemicals instead of heat) that contraption faded into oblivion.
