You're thinking about it all wrong. You're right in thinking convection is a method of heat transference, but it has to do with the fact that warm air rises and cool air sinks which produces winds. I can't say I've actually studied a hair dryer before but if I had to guess I'd say that the electricity moves through strategically placed transistors that produces heat while a fan placed behind them blows air over them which in turn becomes hot as it exits the nozzle. Maybe you're thinking of conduction, in which case you would be correct if I understand your wording.

it is radiation but is also convection. thanks for the time to read it
Why does your hair get straighter when you use a hair dryer?
The heat from the hair dryer acts like hair straightners i suppose?
Can you melt a CD with a hair dryer?
No, not hot enough. If a hair dryer was that hot it would ruin your hair.
Is a hair dryer conduction radition and convection?
Convection
How a hair dryer conduct convection?
It conducts by heat by a soruce.
What type of Heat transfer is found in a hair dryer?
A hair dryer will use convection.
Is hair dryer an example of conduction or convection?
A hair dryer is an example of convection. Convection refers to the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids or gases. In the case of a hair dryer, the heat is generated by an electric element and is then transferred to the surrounding air. The heated air is then blown out of the hair dryer and onto the hair, drying it by convection. Conduction, on the other hand, refers to the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects. An example of conduction would be touching a hot stove and feeling the heat transfer to your hand through direct contact. It is important to note that both convection and conduction can occur simultaneously in many heat transfer situations. For example, a hair dryer may also transfer heat to your hair through conduction as the hot air comes into contact with your hair.
