The hair dryer should dry and style your hair quickly. When choosing, you should focus on the main technical indicators. Power comes first. So, owners of long and thick hair should look at models from 2000 watts. For home use, models with a power of 1200-1600 watts are quite suitable. This is enough for styling.

After hot air, cold air should be used to fix the hairstyle. This function is available in most modern models. Even in the store, it is better to check how well the switch works. It is better to turn on the hair dryer to the maximum temperature and after 20-30 seconds activate the cold air supply function.

Hair dryers are light and heavy. The first ones are easier to work with your hair, but they break faster. The reason lies in the thin winding around the motor, which simply melts due to the high temperatures. It is recommended to pay attention to models that weigh at least 400-500 g.

The length of the power cord affects the comfort of use. The optimal cable is 2.5-3 meters. In this case, it will be possible to calmly move away from the outlet and manipulate the hairdryer from either side. If the wire is less than 2 meters long, then you will have to use it with an extension cord.

Additionally, you should pay attention to the flexibility of the cable. Elasticity ensures a longer service life. Otherwise, kinks will quickly appear on the cable. There should be no bare wires where the device and the cord are connected. In high-quality models, the wire rotates freely, which prevents the appearance of kinks.

The body material must be heat resistant. It is difficult to visually assess this criterion, so it is better to trust a trusted manufacturer. The removable filter grill will allow you to clear the hair dryer from blockages. Otherwise, dust and hair will damage the hair dryer.

It is worth paying attention to the additional functions of the hair dryer, especially the most necessary ones.

1. Air ionization. Negative ions make hair soft, remove static electricity and retain moisture in the structure. In some models this function works by default, in others there is a separate button to enable.
2. Cold air. The function must be used at the end of the installation. Hair will quickly cool and fix. Additionally, cold air reduces the negative impact of hot air.
3. Automatic shutdown... A hairdryer with this function will not burn out. When the motor overheats, the device will shut down by itself.
4. Steam supply. Professional hair dryers are equipped with this function. It allows you to keep your hair slightly damp while styling, thus simplifying the whole process.

When using a hair dryer, keep the device at a distance of 15-20 cm from the hair. Leave the tips slightly damp. When they dry out, cuts and brittleness begin. With a concentrator and diffuser, you can create interesting hairstyles.

Consider the order of alignment with a hairdryer.

1. Divide your hair into small, equal strands. Secure loose hair so it doesn't get in the way.
2. Take a strand with a comb from below. In parallel, treat hair with a hairdryer with a concentrator on top.
3. You need to move up, lifting your hair.
4. So treat all hair.

For styling curly hair, use a diffuser nozzle. Before using the hair dryer, dry your hair with a towel to prevent dripping.

Installation example with a diffuser:

1. it is worth starting from the root zone, gradually moving down;
2. each strand should be lifted with a nozzle in a circular motion;
3. after processing all the hair, you can use the fixing varnish.
