1. A hair dryer capable of adjusting a volume of unheated air discharged along with hot air, the hair dryer comprising: a blowing fan rotated by a motor to introduce outside air into the hair dryer;a body including a heater coil that heats the introduced drying air;a first outlet provided on a first side of the body to discharge air from the hair dryer that is heated by the heater coil;a first handle provided on a lower portion of a second side of the body, with a first switch mounted on the first handle to drive the motor and the heater coil;a second outlet provided on a predetermined portion of the body in such a way as to be opposite to the first outlet, the second outlet discharging the introduced and pressurized air by the blowing fan; anda second switch controlling opening or closing of the second outlet and adjusting a volume of the discharged air. 2. The hair dryer according to claim 1, wherein the second outlet comprises: an outer housing mounted to an inside of the body and being open at a surface thereof;a spring mounted to an inside of the outer housing in such a way as to be opposite to the open surface of the outer housing; andan elastic opening plate connected to the spring to open the surface of the outer housing to an outside by an elastic action of the spring. 3. The hair dryer according to claim 2, wherein the second switch comprises: a push button pressed by a user so as to discharge air from the second outlet; anda push wire operated in conjunction with the push button to pressurize the elastic opening plate by a user's pressing force. 4. The hair dryer according to claim 3, wherein the second switch is operated such that, if the user presses the push button down, the push wire operated in conjunction with the push button pushes the elastic opening plate and thereby the spring is compressed, with the result that the surface of the outer housing is open to the outside and the pressurized air is discharged. 5. The hair dryer according to claim 3, wherein the second switch is operated such that, if the user presses and releases the push button, the compressed spring is restored to an original state thereof and thereby the elastic opening plate closes the surface of the outer housing, thus preventing air from being discharged from the surface of the outer housing. 6. The hair dryer according to claim 3, wherein the second switch is operated such that, if a magnitude of force of pressing the push button is adjusted, an elastic force of the spring operated in conjunction with the push button is changed, thus adjusting an opening of the outer housing to the outside by the elastic opening plate, and thereby adjusting a volume of the pressurized air that is discharged from the surface of the outer housing. 7. The hair dryer according to claim 1, wherein, while the first outlet discharges the hot air, the second outlet pressurizes some of the air introduced by the blowing fan and discharges the pressurized unheated air. 8. The hair dryer according to claim 1, wherein the second outlet comprises: an outer housing mounted to an inside of the body and being open at a surface thereof;a spring mounted to an inside of the outer housing in such a way as to be opposite to the open surface of the outer housing;an electromagnet mounted to an outside of the outer housing and magnetized when an electric current flows through the electromagnet; andan electromagnet opening plate mounted to the inside of the outer housing in such a way as to be connected to the spring, the electromagnet opening plate opening the surface of the outer housing to an outside by an attractive-force action of the electromagnet. 9. The hair dryer according to claim 8, wherein the second switch comprises: a push button pressed by a user so as to discharge air from the second outlet; anda conductive wire operated in conjunction with the push button to cause the electric current to flow through the electromagnet by the user's pressing operation. 10. The hair dryer according to claim 1, wherein the second outlet comprises: an outer housing mounted to an inside of the body and being open at upper and lower surfaces thereof;a rotary opening plate partially supported in the outer housing; anda spring mounted between an inner wall of the outer housing and the rotary opening plate,wherein the rotary opening plate is connected to the spring to open the upper and lower surfaces of the outer housing to an outside by an elastic action of the spring.
