Professional hair dryers have a high power from 2200 to 2600W. They are made from high quality materials, most often from impact-resistant plastic. The device is lightweight, which makes the work of the master easier. The mains cord has dimensions from 1.5 meters. It is a versatile device that is used both for curling and straightening curls. The models have an air temperature adjustment function that allows you to switch the flow of cold air to warm or hot.

The device has several speeds that regulate the air supply. Modern designs are equipped with various attachments in the form of an iron, a diffuser attachment, a rotating brush and a comb. Most often, an ionizer is provided in professional models.

Comparing professional appliances and household hair dryers, you can see that they have both positive and negative characteristics.

The advantages of professional devices are as follows:

• the power of the devices is up to 2600W;
• the device works for a long time without overheating;
• the device can be used for about 10 years;
• in modern devices, various types of attachments are provided that allow you to dry strands, give them volume, curl and straighten curls.

Professional hair dryers have a rubberized ergonomic handle that can be folded in some models. The convenient location of the mode buttons allows you to use the device without additional efforts on the part of the master. Household electrical appliances are usually less powerful and are only used for home use. The household hair dryer has a power of up to 1500W.

Given the excellent qualities of professional models, many women choose them for home use. Although the price of these products is several times higher than the cost of household appliances, which is a disadvantage for some, many choose them due to the long service life of the products. The possibilities of household appliances are somewhat limited, while the presence of a professional hair dryer will allow not only to dry the hair, but also to build a real masterpiece on the head.

Using a hair dryer for styling allows you not only to dry the strands, but also to curl them. But for this purpose, devices with special attachments for creating curls are suitable.

The types of attachments for the hair dryer differ in equipment.

• Concentrator. This nozzle looks like a nozzle with a flattened end. Through the gap, warm air is directed to the curls, enhancing the drying process. The concentrator is used if the strands are wound on curlers or papillotes.
• Diffuser... Choosing a hairdryer with a nozzle will allow you to quickly model your hairstyle and make curls. Externally, the diffuser resembles a disc with ridges for curl and extra volume.
• To get curls on short hair or medium-length strands, use air centrifuge.

Of particular note is the hairdryer-styler. Such a device is also called a hair dryer or a brush. The set includes a brushing attachment (round comb) for shaping large curls, as well as a round brush and a fine comb to add volume near the roots. To straighten hair, use a nozzle that looks like a half round brush. For curling, use a curling iron or tongs of different diameters, which affects the size of the curls.

When choosing an electrical appliance, you should focus on its power. Professional hair dryers include devices with power up to 2000W. They handle styling and curling much faster than conventional appliances. At home, it is better to use a device with a power of 1600-1800W.At a lower power, the process of drying hair and creating a hairstyle will be longer and more laborious.

It is equally important to consider the structure of the strands and their length. Owners of thin and thin hair can choose a low-power device. Girls with long and thick curls should choose a more powerful unit.

When buying, the weight of the product is also taken into account. Do not give preference to too light models, otherwise such a device can quickly deteriorate due to poor-quality or thin motor winding... In heavier models, the motor winding is often of better quality, which will affect the life of the unit. When purchasing a device, you should check how loud it works. Too much noise of the styler working may indicate its low quality. The hum of the operating unit should be uniform and quiet.

In addition to the usual models that are designed for drying and laying, you can also choose road options. Given their light weight and compactness, it is convenient to take them with you on vacation, travel or at sea.

In order to choose a good tool, it is important to consider other parameters.

• Make sure there are different temperature switching modes.
• The presence of a removable air filter will keep the device in working order for a long time.
• The presence of ionization will reduce the negative effect of temperature on the hair.
• Make sure you have a flexible and long cord, at least 2.5 meters in size.
• Professionals recommend choosing a hairdryer with ceramic attachments. Such a material will heat up evenly, while it retains heat for a long time and protects the hair.

By purchasing this or that model, it is worthwhile to read the reviews about the product in advance, to study the characteristics of the products. If possible, it is better to choose a product that turns off automatically when the device is placed on the table. When you lift the hair dryer off the table, it will immediately start working without the help of a wizard.

To curl the curls beautifully, you need to wash your hair and dry it with a towel or naturally. Brush the strands thoroughly and apply styling agent. For owners of short strands, it is better to choose foam or mousse, and girls with long hair may limit themselves to thermal protection.

It is best to follow certain guidelines when using a hair dryer.

• You can quickly create curls with the diffuser attachment. This method is considered the easiest to perform, such a device is simply necessary to create light, careless curls. The advantage of the diffuser is that this design, thanks to the "fingers", protects curls and skin from very hot air, which is possible with an incorrectly selected temperature regime. Drying with the appliance from the roots helps to add volume. To curl, divide your hair into equal strands and dry them, moving the hair dryer closer and closer. Other strands are curled in the same way. The hairstyle is fixed with varnish.

• You can create a beautiful hairstyle and curl using a hair dryer and a round comb. Such a duet will allow you to make a chic volume and spectacular waves. To create curls, wash your hair, then dry the hair and apply heat protection to the strands. The hair is combed and parted, separating a small strand at the temple. One hand should hold the comb, while the other hold the hairdryer with the condenser attachment and dry the curl. After the strand cools down, it is removed from the brushing. Then the same process should be done with the rest of the strands. During work, the hair is divided into an upper and a lower part. The upper part is fixed with hairpins, while the strands are wound on the back of the head.After styling, you can spray the head with varnish.

• Using a centrifuge attachment, light waves can be curled. To create such a hairstyle, you should wash your hair and divide the slightly damp strands into several parts. If possible, they can be lubricated with mousse or foam, then combed. The cylinder attachment is inserted into the first strand and dried. The same actions are carried out with other strands. Do not keep the curl inside for a long time, otherwise there is a possibility of hair damage. Finished curls should be tweaked, slightly untwisted, and varnish applied.

• A hairdryer with a round comb attachment is also suitable for creating curly hair. Thanks to this device, you can comb, dry and curl your curls. The styling principle is similar to the brushing method. Apply a styling agent to washed, damp hair, then comb and divide into strands. You should take one strand, wind it on the brush, then dry it, alternating hot and cold air. All strands are curled in the same way.

• The round curling nozzle is also suitable for creating curls. The device not only dries hair, but also curls it. To get beautiful waves, you need to wash your hair, then dry it and apply heat protection. The hair is divided into strands, then in turn they are wound on the base of the curling iron. After the strand dries and cools down, the curl is released. The size of the curls depends on the diameter of the nozzle.

• You can curl your curls using regular curlers and a hair dryer. This styling will take longer than other options, but the result will be amazing. As a result, the curls will turn out to be large and voluminous. To create a hairstyle, you need to divide the head into zones: on the crown, sides and back of the head. In these zones, you should alternately choose strands, comb them and wind them on curlers. Velcro or papillotes can be used as curlers. After the curlers are completely rolled, the head is dried with a hairdryer. After they dry and cool, the curlers are removed and the curls are laid. Use a medium to strong hairspray if desired.

• When using any hair curler, do not forget that the hairstyle will look spectacular only on clean hair, so before using a hairdryer with attachments to create curls, you need to wash your hair. After washing, the hair is dried.

• After drying, the curls should be combed. The comb also plays an important role. Choosing the wrong tool can lead to tangled strands.

• Do not neglect styling products... A light mousse or foam is applied to the ends and carried along the entire length of the strand without affecting the roots. To give your hair extra volume, you need to blow a hairdryer through the hair, starting from the roots, while lifting each strand. It is not recommended to keep the curled curl under hot air for a long time.

• It is important to use the electrical appliance correctly, because the service life of the unit depends on this.... To protect the strands from overheating, it is not recommended to dry or curl completely wet hair.

• Beautiful wavy curls rolled with a hair dryer will look great on hair of any length. Tall girls are better off curling smooth, large waves. Small-sized women of fashion are more suitable for small curls and curls.
