How to choose hair products – Hair dryer

There are many models of hair dryers on the market. Many girls prefer to buy “professional models”, believing that if they are worn by professionals it means they are better. This is not true. Of course, a good professional model will be better than a bad mass market model. Professional models are being built keeping in mind the fact that you have to work 8-10 hours per day every day. In addition, customers’ hair is very different, and the professional model should have 2-3 temperature modes and 2-3 blow speed movements. Additional features include cold blow movement and different accessories. If you do not plan to use all the advantages of the professional model, you better not waste money on it because in the mass market you can find hair dryer models that have the advantages of professional models.

First of all, let’s decide what you need a hair dryer for. If you need it only for drying hair, then you need a powerful hair dryer with an attachment – concentrator. If you have fine hair, the low consumption model will suit your needs. If you want to dry your hair and at the same time style it, choose a model with various blowing speeds and temperature modes (the most powerful – for preliminary drying, the medium – for styling, and the cold air mode to fix a hairstyle). .

If you need a hair dryer to make your hair perm, then you need a model with a diffuser attachment. The diffuser attachment is a 10-15 cm diameter disc with a surface containing rounded “fingers”. It is intended for perming and wavy hair. The ‘fingers’ can have different lengths, depending on the relief of the head. They are usually round in shape, hollow and have holes. Such a design helps to disperse the stream of hot air, directing it to the curls, not the scalp.

The hair dryer was invented for short hair. This model will dry and style your hair at the same time, giving volume to your hairstyle. There is an electric air brush for curling, it produces a stream of hot air with a power of no more than 200 watts. Such models usually have two or three types of attachments.

The average capacity of the hair dryer is 1000-2000 watts. The most powerful models will style your hair better, but styling short hair does not require a very powerful hair dryer. The advantage of powerful hair dryers is that the more powerful the air current, the less hot temperature you need. Hair with permanent waves, weak or thick hair should not be styled in a hot mode, if you have such hair, choose a model with several temperature modes.

When buying a hair dryer, pay attention to comfort: it should be comfortable to hold a hair dryer, while turning the cord should not twist. The control buttons should be easily accessible, the hair dryer should not be too loud or too heavy. It is also convenient if the dryer has a loop to hang it.

It is important that the hair dryer contains a filter. The hair dryer uses the same operating principle as the vacuum cleaner: it sucks the air inside. With air you can vacuum hair, dust, small pieces of dirt. If a hair dryer does not have a filter, all this can cause overheating, and the device can burn out. That’s why try to choose a model with a cleanable filter. There are also models that automatically turn off if they overheat.

ionization

Cheap hair dryer models use metal or plastic heating elements that disperse positively charged ions. Neutral hair scales open after receiving a positive charge, hair looks dull, twists.

Many of the modern hair dryer models have an ionization function. Here’s how it works: Molecular water is broken down in such a way that it can easily access the inside of the hair and moisturize the cuticle and root, making hair look healthy and shiny. Also, ionization fights positively charged ions through negatively charged ions by neutralizing them. Negatively charged ions smooth the hair scales and reduce the level of static electricity. Hair dryers with an ionization function dry hair faster and prevent it from becoming electrified.

There are a lot of hair dryers with ions.

tourmaline

Tourmaline technology appeared on the market not so long ago. Helps produce more positively charged ions. These hair dryers can dry hair 70% faster and leave it soft and shiny.

how to dry hair

To add more body to medium length and long hair, start drying your hair in the head down position.

Fluff your hair and blow-dry it in different directions. When the hair is half dry, lift your head and comb your hair. If you have short hair, brush it first with a hair dryer, and then with a brush in the opposite direction of hair growth, tilt your head forward.

While drying and styling, direct the air stream from roots to ends. This technique will help close the hair scales and make the hair look shiny. It is also important not to bring the dryer close to the scalp, the best distance is not less than 20 cm.

One of the latest inventions in hair straightening: hair dryer with special clips, which comb the hair like small irons, leaving it dry and smooth at the same time.
