Selection recommendations
When choosing a hair dryer, you need to rely primarily on your wishes and type of hair, and you can also take advantage of customer reviews.
- Power... The first and most important criterion is the power of the device. The more powerful it is, the faster the air circulation and the hair drying process. Home models typically range from 1800 to 2200 watts. Models for salon use have more power, but their weight is also impressive due to the severity of the engine. Therefore, it will not be very convenient for you to use such a device yourself.
In the absence of hairdressing skills, you are unlikely to be able to create your own styling with such a hairdryer.But if you have thick or long curls, choose a more powerful device.
- Regulation... Absolutely all models have a control panel for operating modes. The temperature range is indicated by colored waves, where there are basically 3 degrees of air flow regulation. The high speed mode is distinguished by the fan pattern and provides 2 air speeds. Cold air is used to complete the styling and is indicated by a snowflake.
- Protection of curls... Basically, all models have a modern ionization function that protects the hair from drying out and overheating. The process involves crushing moisture into small particles that penetrate the hair structure and moisturize from the inside. Also, due to ionization, electrification is prevented, the hair does not frizz, has a natural shine and smoothness.
- Ceramic heater... Due to the ability of the ceramic surface to heat up evenly, the air becomes warm rather than hot. Hair dries well, but does not dry out.
- Tourmaline coating... With the help of such a coating, the grill on the hair dryer not only has a uniform heating, but also emits negative ions, which have a beneficial effect on the hair structure.
- Humidity control sensor is an infrared emitter that is built into the drum of the hair dryer. He himself determines the moisture level of the hair during drying. Upon completion of the process, it automatically turns on the cold air supply to fix the hairstyle.
- Nozzles... If the main function of your hair dryer is to create a hairstyle, then you cannot do without attachments. The most common nozzle included in the kit is a condenser nozzle. It directs the air flow. A diffuser attachment can be added to create root volume and curls.
- Body and attachments material... It should be heat-resistant, non-slip and pleasant to the touch. Of course, each manufacturer chooses this material on his own, and when choosing this criterion, one should only rely on the authority of the brand.
- Comfort in use... A very important point when choosing a hair dryer model.
The tool should be lightweight and ergonomic. To do this, before buying, you just need to pick up the device and simulate the drying process. At this point, you will understand whether the model is right for you or not.
- Cord... Its optimal length is from 1.8 to 2 m. If the cord is too short, movements are limited, drying becomes uncomfortable. If the cable is too long, the procedure can be inconvenient, as the cord gets in the way and gets tangled under your feet. Its fastening must be rotating. The presence of a loop makes it possible to conveniently hang the hair dryer on the wall.
Review overview
Consumers appreciate the models with high power and ionization. These hair dryers dry your hair well and do not damage it. Natural moisture in the strands is preserved, the scales adhere to each other more tightly, the hair has a natural look and natural shine.
The presence of a rotating cord, a loop and many attachments makes styling your hairstyle much more comfortable.
In models with low power, consumers note simplicity and lightness, a low price. But, unfortunately, the seller does not give a guarantee for some models. When used, the body material heats up and emits a specific odor. The absence of an overheating sensor significantly complicates the work with the device. It is necessary to turn off the hair dryer constantly after heating to prevent breakage.
