Approach towards reversing obsolescence is a combination of :-
Simplified design strategy
The hair dryer is designed in such a way that it can be upgraded easily, re-contextualized easily and can also be maintained very easily.

The clip and handle of the appliance are made in such a way that they can become other independent products (the clip converts to a wall mounted holder for these appliances) or a part of another product (the handle is common throughout the range of grooming products).
The main body is split in two parts, the rear part detaches easily so that the internal components can be accessed easily for maintenance. This also offers a lot of permutations for C.M.F changes to keep the product fresh with minimum intervention.
Efficient Service
The design cues can be successful only if there are policies that encourage the users/ buyers to abide by the cycle. For that incentive purchases and returns, exchange policies that attract consumers to do so are important.
Clever material selection
The materials chosen are such that are conventional enough to be procured easily and are used in a way that they produces less waste.
ABS and Other plastic components that make the majority of the body, are actually recycled and reclaimed materials, so the product doesn't contribute to the landfill as mush. The metal components are designed in such a way that they can be easily recycled easily.
