BaByliss hair dryers: characteristics and model range

A hair dryer is an electrical appliance that allows you to quickly dry your hair. However, this function alone is not enough for modern girls. Many manufacturers have models of hair dryers in the lineup. Their main difference is the combination of the functions of drying and styling hair. These functions, of course, can save time spent on the daily morning styling ritual, as well as consumers' money, because now instead of two devices, only one is needed - a multifunctional one.

The French company BaByliss, which specializes in hair and body care, presents a wide range of hair dryers. Babyliss has been producing care products since 1960, still holding one of the leading positions in its field. An interesting fact is that it was one of the founders of the brand, Mr. Lelievre, who invented the curling iron, and his partner Mr. Fleblam suggested a way to implement them. BaByliss manufactures both professional and home appliances.

The wide range of BaByliss models greatly complicates the selection of the right product. Hair dryers have a number of features and differences that deserve attention before buying. First of all, you need to clarify what a hairdryer is. This is a device that combines the functions of a hair dryer and a styling comb: hot air simultaneously dries and styles the hair, giving it the desired shape. The hair dryer is shaped like a large comb with removable nozzles at the end. It is through the nozzle that air is supplied to dry the hair. The desired effect can be achieved with different attachments and / or rotation.

Regardless of the number and shape of attachments in the hair dryer, they can be rotating or not. It will certainly affect usage. A device with a movable nozzle greatly simplifies the process, but requires certain skills. Rotation while drying allows you to add volume to hair, straighten curls or curl strands. Rotations greatly reduce the necessary hand movements. Installation takes a minimum amount of time and effort.

The second type of BaByliss hair dryers are devices with fixed brushes. They greatly reduce the functionality of the device, requiring a longer time. Just like a hair dryer with a movable nozzle, the option with a non-rotating nozzle will add volume, straighten the curls, but it will be extremely difficult to curl your hair with it. The choice to the side of one type or another depends on the personal requirements of the consumer for the device. The wide range of BaByliss models includes differences not only in the type of movement of the nozzle, but also in their shape and purpose.

The attachments can be as follows:

• brushing;
• round brush with short plastic bristles;
• flat plastic comb;
• hub;
• diffuser.

The brush attachment adds volume and shine to your hair. Many small bristles evenly lay unruly and split hairs, giving them a single, tidy shape. Also, using this attachment, you can create large curls on long hair. A round brush with plastic bristles is used to add volume at the roots, create small curls.

The flat plastic brush is perfect for straightening long, unmanageable and curly hair. She only needs to comb her hair gently, from top to bottom. During such styling, they will dry quickly and get the desired shape. A concentrator is a special attachment that concentrates air currents in one direction, which allows you to dry your hair quickly and create complex shapes on your hair.

On the other hand, the diffuser nozzle evenly distributes the air flow during drying. Thanks to this, drying and adding volume on fine hair takes no more than 5-7 minutes, which is undoubtedly the advantage of such a nozzle. Like most modern devices for styling and drying hair, BaByliss brand hair dryers have a number of additional features that you should pay attention to when choosing.

It is about the ionization function. This function removes static electricity during the drying process, protects the hair from overheating. Due to this function, the hair is more manageable, and the styling lasts longer. Cold air blowing function - the ability to use not only hot and warm air. The function serves to prevent overheating of fine and weakened hair, as well as to secure the styling.

Some BaByliss models are equipped with a humidity sensor. The moisture sensor itself determines the moisture level of the hair and selects the required mode and temperature. This function protects the hair structure and therefore deserves special attention. The ability to remove teeth on the attachment can also be a useful feature. It serves to easily and without damage to remove tangled strands from the hairdryer during styling. Nevertheless this function is insignificant, because with skillful use of the brush, such difficulties will not arise.

The BaByliss lineup presents more than 10 different devices in both expensive and cheaper price segments. Among the models of BaByliss hair dryers, the following are the most popular.

This model is presented in a more expensive price segment. It has 2 attachments (round combs - 50 mm and 40 mm brushes). The 50 mm brush is suitable for long and medium hair, and the 40 mm brush for shorter hair. The model is quite powerful - 800 watts. The Ionic Rotating Ceramic Hair Dryer is perfect for daily styling of unmanageable hair.

This model is presented in a lower price segment. There is no rotating brush here. The only 32mm fine bristle nozzle is perfect for fine, short and medium curls. 700W is enough for quick styling and shaping. The titanium-tourmaline coating of the nozzle will have a positive effect on the health of the hair and protect it from overheating. A loop for hanging on a hook and a 360-degree rotating cord will make the use of this model as comfortable as possible.

This model is very close to the BaByliss PRO BAB2676TTE 32 mm model. The 34 mm no-spin brush with fine bristles is perfect for fine, unmanageable hair.

Choosing from the BaByliss range is a very difficult process due to the wide range of models with many different functions. Regardless of the functions, it is necessary to assess the personal expectations of the hair dryer, what exactly it will serve. To make an effective choice, you need to pay attention to a number of factors.

• Price. The Babyliss lineup includes both more expensive professional models and more affordable budget models suitable for home use.

• Model power. The highest power is 600 W, the lowest is 100 W. The power directly affects the speed of hair drying, regardless of the mode or attachment selected by the user.

• Number of attachments. The choice of attachments is quite individual and depends on the desired result. Attachments can be selected to straighten, add volume and shape, shine hair, to create curls.

• Rotation capability. Hair dryers with a rotating nozzle are much more convenient for creating complex styling; for simple adding volume, a model with a fixed nozzle is better suited.

• Additional functions. Possible additional functions include: ionization, cold air supply, the presence of a sensor or temperature indicator. Additional functions will only improve the styling quality. Also, for convenience, you should pay attention to the models with a hook for hanging, the presence of a carrying case.

• Design, color. BaByliss hair dryers are available in a variety of colors and designs. It is worth choosing those that you like best, but this criterion is not the main one.

• Temperature regimes... Most of the models include several temperature modes. For thinner hair, you should pay attention to models with a lower drying temperature in order to avoid overheating.
