How to choose and use
When choosing a professional hair dryer model, be sure to pay attention to these characteristics.
- Body and parts material. The requirements for heat resistance, strength and shock resistance are high, because a professional hairdryer is designed for frequent and long-term use.
- The shape and number of attachments. Removable elements (nozzles) should be narrowed in shape, beveled at the end, securely fixed on the nozzle and rather easily removed in case of need to change a part.
- The back of the hair dryer should be covered with a removable cover - for inspection procedures and cleaning the insides of the device from lingering debris, hair and dust.
- The power of the device. It is believed that the lower limit of the required power of the hair dryer is at the 2 kW mark.
- A very important function is the ionization of the outgoing air flow., because its presence allows you to more carefully dry your hair, and also makes styling easier.
- Make sure the power cord is long enoughto provide the hairdresser with freedom of movement around the client. A length of more than 2 meters is considered sufficient.
- Multiple heating modes and the ability to adjust the speed of the outgoing air flow.
- Ceramic heating element. Household models typically use metal heaters, which are often the culprit for overdrying hair.
When using the device, be sure to follow the safety rules: do not turn on a faulty device, do not drop it on hard surfaces (floor), watch the integrity of the power cable, etc.
Reviews
The user reaction to Harizma Professional products is almost 100% positive, which is even rather strange these days. Buyers are satisfied with the inexpensive price, power and complete set of devices, stylish design, as well as ease of use (ergonomic handle shape, ease of switching modes). Among the negative points - the hair dryers-brushes have the ability to suck hair into the inlet of the air filter.
Professionals advise replacing the mesh on the hole with a denser one, and this trouble will be eliminated. So, perhaps, the domestic manufacturer can be quite worthy competitor to foreign counterparts.
