A hairstyle is an important detail in the image of a modern woman, and a hair dryer is the main and indispensable assistant in its creation. Therefore, accordingly, the question arises of how to make a competent choice, which model to give preference to.
At first glance, this solution seems quite simple. But at one point it becomes clear that the hair dryer is not quite the same as we would like. It does not fit in a travel bag, cannot provide the desired temperature, or does not come with the necessary attachment. In order to avoid such questions, it is worth approaching critically which hair dryer is better to choose.
The site shop-ultra.ru advises combining the requirements for a hair dryer into several blocks.
1. Decide on a purpose. What do you expect from a hair dryer? Will it be a compact model for a traveler, a reliable option for home use with a minimum set of functions, or a hair dryer with a good set of nozzles for hairdressing masterpieces.
2. Another parameter to pay attention to is power. The power of modern hair dryers varies from 200 to 2000 watts. Power only affects the temperature, but in no way indicates the quality of the hair dryer. For everyday needs, it is recommended to use a hair dryer with a power of 1200-1600 watts. At the same time, road hair dryers have a lower rate.
Remember that overpowered hair dryers are for advanced users (let's call them hairdressers) because you can have a mess on your head in no time. Please note that powerful hair dryers adversely affect fine hair. Also, be sure to check if the hair dryer is equipped with overheating protection.
3. Understand the technical characteristics: the number of speeds and temperature levels of the models. Check with the shop assistant how the air jet pressure is regulated and the temperature changes from warm to hotter when switching the mode. A variety of modes allows you to make different combinations for drying and styling hair.
It is also worth noting another quality - the supply of cold air. This is an important function for fixing hair. Due to the high temperature, the hair becomes elastic and obedient, but cooling the hair with jets of cold air allows you to fix the shape for a long time.
4. The shape of the hair dryer affects the comfort of its use. If you constantly use a hair dryer gun, then the hair dryer cylinder will most likely be uncomfortable. Basically, a cylindrical hair dryer is presented in the form of a brush hair dryer. Among the advantages of a hair dryer of this form is its weight, it is much lighter than a hair dryer gun.
The handle of the hair dryer (for those who have not yet understood) is located at an angle to its main part. This is what most professional, household or compact hair dryers look like.
5. A variety of nozzles provide not only comfortable drying of hair, but also styling. Almost every model in the kit contains 2 nozzles: a concentrator and a diffuser. At the same time, small compact hair dryers have only one - a concentrator.
What are these nozzles? The concentrator nozzle has a tapering flat end, it is familiar to everyone. The diffuser is a wide bell, which is put on the end of the hair dryer with a narrow part. This nozzle not only dries hair quickly, but also gives them extra volume, forms curls. The diffuser attachment is also said to provide gentler drying.
Also, among the variety of nozzles, there are nozzles in the form of a half round brush, which are designed to care for permed hair, round brushes with plastic teeth, thanks to which curls are created, and comb nozzles that add volume. These and other attachments are made specifically to make hair care easier. With their help, not only dry and style hair, but also add shine, eliminate tangling of hair.
6. The ionization function may seem completely useless, however, the main task of the system is to combat the negative effect of positive ions on the hair. Ionization during styling gives the hairstyle extra shine.
7. The choice of hair dryer by manufacturer. Firstly, the after-sales service depends on it, and secondly, the quality of the materials from which all parts and the frame are made. The truth of life: an unknown company in a distant country is not associated with a long and carefree use of the device. Therefore, when buying a hair dryer, it is still worth finding out who made it, look at the quality certificate.
If you take into account all the nuances when choosing a hair dryer, in the end you will find a reliable assistant in hair care for many years.
