Hair dryer - the main tool that helps dry wet hair and put them in a beautiful hairstyle. However, not every girl knows what to look for when buying it. We asked the experts how to choose a hair dryer that will not only dry the hair qualitatively, but not damage it.

The best professional hair dryers according to experts

Probably, it is no secret to anyone that modern companies are now increasingly adhering to a clear division of labor. For example, the packaging can be made at the plant in Korea, hairdryer cords - in China, and the case - in Italy. In this case, the country of manufacture indicates one, and most often it is either the PRC or Italy.

Ilya Bulygin, general director of the Russian representative offices of the WAHL, Moser, Ermila brands, published the book “Hairdressing Tools”, in which he conducted a study on how to choose a hair dryer, scissors, combs, etc. Interestingly, the author recommends paying attention to the name of the manufacturer. And all because there are firms that have chosen to independently manufacture their products and not to trust them with foreign factories.

What is this brand?

• EtiItaly This brand also not only makes 75% of its products, but also sells manufactured parts to other companies.
  
• ParluxItaly Quite popular professional hair dryers, which, unfortunately, in recent times often forged.
  
• TecnoElettraItaly TecnoElettra factories produce for their products all parts, except for motors, which are bought from another Italian brand.
  
• Valera, Switzerland. The development of the brand has thought its own, according to which all parts are made in Italy, and the assembly is made at the factory Valera.
  
• Babyliss, France. Most of the parts are made in Korea or China, but the main part belongs to Italian factories.
  
• Velecta paramount, France. The company trusts the company to make much of Italy, but Velecta has patented all of its innovations, so this “filling” cannot be found anywhere else.
  

What should I look for when choosing a hairdryer

1. The big advantage of the model will be presence of ceramic heating elements. Their plus is that they evenly heat up and thus have the same effect on the hair, the less it is damaged, unlike conventional hair dryers.
2. Cold air mode
3. Dc motor. Despite its higher noise, such a hairdryer will be lighter and more compact, and its power is much greater than that of the model with an AC motor.
4. Life time. The average number of hours a professional hairdryer is 1500.
5. Ionization. Due to the splitting of water by ions, it evaporates faster from the surface of the hair and does not overdry them.
6. Tourmaline. This technology, during heating, independently releases ions, which replaces ionization.

The best hair dryers today are those that combine ceramics, ionization, and tourmaline. Thanks to the combination of tourmaline and the negative ion generator, the saturation of the air blown by the hair dryer increases by several times. This allows you to dry hair 2 times faster than a regular hair dryer.

The main advantage of the combination of ceramics, ionization and tourmaline is that when drying a unique process is applied to the hair - deep infrared heating. These waves allow you to warm the hair from the inside, thereby minimizing the time of styling and damage to the hair.

Such hair dryers are not cheap, but their undeniable advantages make this price reasonable. Unfortunately, hair dryers from non-professional brands can not boast of such a powerful saturation and delicate effect on the hair. In pursuit of beauty, one should consciously approach the choice of care. Therefore, before proceeding to the purchase of a particular product, carefully study all the features and characteristics of the product, its convenience, advantages and disadvantages, as well as the reputation of the brand itself. No wonder they say that the name is not all.

We wish you beautiful, long, and most importantly, healthy hair!

How to choose a hair dryer

First you need to decide what you need a hairdryer - someone just dries their hair after washing, someone makes complex hairstyles every day, someone rarely uses and only if necessary some extravagant styling.

Perfect classic model, which has an average power. This is a universal solution to the problem, because it can be applied to different lengths and thicknesses of hair. But if the curls are distinguished by subtlety, weakness, then a compact hair dryer is quite enough.

Too powerful hair dryers for drying should not be used - without proper experience it is impossible to eliminate jets of hot air in time, change the heating temperature. And this can lead to damage to the structure of the hair, their active loss.

And here is more about how to quickly put your hair.

For styling

A hairdryer is something that is needed by those who constantly make complex and simple styling. A variety of nozzles will help create the most incredible image and at the same time do not harm the health of the curls. By the way, this type of tool also dries hair, but this will take more time.

Professional hairdryers for styling can be used - they are very powerful, they have options for heating temperatures, are excellent for working with a round comb (brushing).

But to protect your hair from the negative effects of hot air temperatures can only be quick and sharp movements - the experience should be at such a level that the styling for the average length of hair lasted no longer than 15 minutes.

For short hair

Suitable household hair dryer with power up to 2000 W, three buttons to switch the air temperature and two to switch speeds. Such technical characteristics will be enough just for working with short hair, you can choose the best option.

For example, if you only need to give volume to your hair and make light waves, then you can work on medium power and warm air. But steady whorls are obtained only as a result of successive exposure to them with hot, warm and cold jets.

If you have to travel often, then a compact model of a hairdryer will do - its power is enough for drying and styling short hair.

Optimal for home

At home and without due experience in working with professional hairdressing tools, an ordinary hairdryer is optimally suited. Him:

• average air flow rate
• there are 3 temperature control buttons,
• there are 2 speed buttons,
• attached diffuser - will help to quickly give the volume of hair,
• Included is a directional nozzle - a thin stream of warm / hot air will help create a steady curls, waves.

Number of speeds

Buying a hair dryer, many simply do not pay attention to this characteristic, and it is completely in vain! This “now” hairstyle is such that it requires strict styling, but everything can change, and when you have to make soft curls, waves or curls, you will need a completely different tool.

Manufacturers took care of this moment on their own - each hairdryer is equipped with a button for switching air flow rates. Usually there are 3 of them - small, medium and high, some models have a larger range, but this is absolutely not necessary.

Air temperature

Too hot air ruthlessly dries the hair, making it brittle and dull, but it allows you to create a steady curls, put a new hairstyle, "breaking" the usual arrangement of strands. To be able to vary, it is worth buying a hairdryer with a button to switch the temperature of the air supply.

Typically, the manufacturer is a choice of high and medium heat, as well as work without the inclusion of heating elements. And in this case, it will turn out to do, for example, the following manipulation:

• dry your hair with the hottest air possible
• wind strands on a round comb (brushing) and fix with warm air,
• remove the comb and quickly cool the resulting curl or wave with a cold stream.

This method of care is considered gentle, preserves the structure of the hair and its health.

Look at the video on how to style your hair with a hair dryer:

Overheating control

This feature will not allow you to use the hair dryer for too long when hot air flows - it contains a control relay that automatically shuts off the tool when there is a threat of overheating. This is what gives the consumer:

• eliminates the possibility of damage to the heating element and breakage,
• hair gets the opportunity to "rest" from aggressive drying - as soon as the hot air is turned off, its cooling will begin and, accordingly, it will be possible to carry out styling further, but already in a sparing mode.

Additional functions

Ionization, reduction of electrification of hair, the absence of their magnetization - all these functions in hair dryers are absolutely useless. They are nothing more than a marketing ploy that raises the cost of an instrument at times. According to scientists and stylists, nothing of the declared manufacturer, except for hair drying, is not necessary.

But what is worth paying for is the presence of a cold air supply button, in some models it is simply absent. And after all such temperature of a stream will help to make strong, steady ringlets and curlicues.

It is worth paying attention to the presence of the cold air button

How to properly operate a hair dryer

Each instrument must be operated in accordance with the instructions, and a hairdryer is no exception. Manufacturers emphasize only three important nuances:

• at least once a month you need to clean the mesh filter from dust and hair, this should be done when the hair dryer is completely disconnected from the mains,
• You can not overheat the heater, and even if there is a control relay in the model, you must turn off the dryer in a certain sequence - first, the temperature is set to zero mode and only after that the air supply stops
• it is impossible to take hold of the cord, pull it out - this leads to damage to the insulation, and in the future a electric shock may occur.

Look at the video on how to clean hair from dust and hair:

If we talk about the safety of the hair, then it is necessary to apply heat protection means for their styling and drying. Such cosmetics are presented by many manufacturers, it is designed to protect the curls from exposure to hot air temperatures.

The best manufacturers in the market

You don’t need to choose a hairdressing tool at a cost only - the price of many models is unreasonably high, and cheap hair dryers are of high quality. Experts recommend making a choice on producing countries with a world name, and there are only 5 of them:

• France - BaByliss, Rowenta,
• Germany - Braun, Moser, Bosh,
• England - Scarlett,
• Switzerland - Valera,
• Italy - Gamma Piu, Tecno Elettra.

If the choice is made in favor of a hair dryer of an incomprehensible manufacturer and an extremely low price, then it should be checked at least for operability. Ask the seller to turn it on and listen for the motor to work - an uneven buzz indicates damage. In this case, the hair dryer can catch fire at any time, or simply does not turn on literally the next day after the purchase.

And here is more about collagen wrapping.

Hairdryer is so often used that once you choose quality, you will be able to deal with their appearance daily and for a long time. This tool can be a “salvation” or “punishment” for hair, so when buying you need to take into account all the possible qualitative characteristics and recommendations of specialists.

Hair dryer Description, characteristics, types and choice of hair dryer

Good day, dear visitors of the project “Welcome to the IS!” Section of the “Technique”!

I am glad to present to your attention an article about a household appliance, without which most of the fair sex cannot imagine life - fenes. So.

Hair dryer (English Fan) - electrical device, issuing directional flow of heated air. The most important feature of the hair dryer is the ability to supply heat precisely to a given area.

Origin of the word "Hair dryer" associated with the German brand FoenRegistered in 1941 and referring to the warm alpine wind "Fen".

Hair dryer device

A hairdryer is usually made in the form of a pipe section, inside which a fan and an electric heater are located. Often the body of the dryer is equipped with a pistol grip.

The fan draws air through one of the pipe sections, the air flow passes by the electric heater, heats up and leaves the pipe through the opposite section. Various nozzles can be installed on the output section of the pipe of the hairdryer, changing the configuration of the air flow. The entrance cut is usually closed with a grill in order to prevent large objects, such as fingers, from getting inside the case of the dryer.

A number of models of hair dryers allows you to adjust the temperature and air flow rate at the outlet. Temperature control is achieved either by switching on in parallel a different number of heaters, or by using an adjustable thermostat, or by changing the flow rate.

Household hair dryer. This type of hair dryer is designed for drying and styling hair. It gives out a stream of air with a temperature of about 60 ° C and high speed. There are hair dryers in which the temperature is regulated, and can produce both a cold stream of air and hot. In the hair dryer try to put protection against overheating to avoid damage to the hair with hot air. Modern hair dryers also have the function of air ionization, which was previously called to remove a static charge, as well as promising smooth and silky hair.

Technical hairdryer. This type of hair dryer, unlike household, differs in the ability to produce a stream of air heated to a temperature of about 300–500 ° C, but with a low speed. Different models of technical dryers can also have modes with a lower air temperature, for example, 50 ° C. There are models that allow to get air with temperatures in the range of 50-650 ° C in 10 ° C increments or continuously adjustable. Some models allow you to adjust the air flow.

How to choose a hair dryer (household)

The right choice of hair dryer will allow you to create great hairstyles, make hair care easier and help you create your own unique style.

Before you start exploring the characteristics of modern hair dryers and the variety of models on the market, decide for what purpose you need this “unit”. If you use a hair dryer only for drying hair, you need a reliable hair dryer with a minimum set of functions. If you often travel, you better look at the compact models. If you, like most women, like to create masterpieces of hairdressing with your hair at home on a weekly basis, you should be very responsible when choosing a hair dryer, as you will need a device with a good set of tips, power, various temperature conditions, etc. d.

The form

Choosing a hair dryer, you need to pay attention to its shape, because hair dryer is made in two types - ordinary and hair dryer. From what model you choose, depends on how comfortable you will use it.

An ordinary hair dryer has a handle that is angled to the main part; most professional hair dryers have this shape. However, what is a dignity for professionals, brings some inconvenience in everyday life, in order to use such a hair dryer on your own, you need to have some skill.In addition to professional hair dryers, road hair dryers are also made with handles, which are small-sized, lightweight, and also have a folding handle.

Beginners to master the skill of laying at home, it is better to purchase a hairdryer. It is much lighter in weight, and the hand is not so tired when using it. In addition, a cylindrical hairdryer does not hinder the movement of the brush and allows you to attach different directions to the air stream. Used for styling hair using all kinds of attachments: “comb” - for combing wet hair, “heating hand” - for pomp, “satin brush” - for shine, “shaped” - for volume and wave.

Hair dryer power

Many sellers, helping buyers to choose a hair dryer, recommend paying attention only to its power, saying that the bigger it is, the better the appliance. This is not exactly the right approach. From this characteristic depends only on the factor, what temperature can provide a hair dryer, and, accordingly, how quickly it will dry your hair. There are models from 200 to 2000 W on the market, and an increase in the power of the device does not directly affect its cost.

You should not chase the devices with the highest value of this parameter if it is not important for you how fast you dry your hair, but what kind of hairstyle you will have after that. When using a too powerful hair dryer, you simply do not have time to do the styling and as a result you will get a complete mess on your head. In addition, powerful hair dryers do not recommend those who have thin hair. For normal hair and everyday needs, a 1200–1600 W hairdryer will be a good option. Less powerful hair dryers for those who are looking for a hairdryer (they usually have a low rate) and for those who have very little experience in styling hair. More powerful, respectively, for professional virtuosos.

Temperature and speed

The following technical specifications that you should pay attention to - how many speeds and temperature levels the model has. Having a hair dryer with several modes, you can adjust the pressure of the air stream and change its temperature from warm to hot. The more of them, the more you can make combinations for drying and styling hair, the more freedom for creativity.

Let's note one more quality which many models of hair dryers possess. It is about the function of supplying cold air ("cool"). When doing the styling, you first dry the curl of the desired shape, and then for fifteen seconds turn on the “cool” mode to fix the result. The heat makes the hair elastic and docile, and jets of cold air cool the hair and fix the shape for a long time.

Nozzles

If you not only dry your hair with a hair dryer, but also do styling, you need to carefully choose a set of nozzles that this or that model has. Almost all hair dryers come complete with two nozzles: a hub and a diffuser.

The hub is the most popular nozzle for hairdressers; it has a tapering flat ending and is indispensable for styling and modeling hairstyles. Hair dryers only with a hub are produced by all manufacturers, most often in the road format.

The diffuser is the second most popular nozzle, but its functional characteristics are not so indisputable. The diffuser is a wide socket, narrowly fitting on the end of the dryer. At the expense of numerous openings, he, as through a sieve, passes a powerful stream of air through himself, turning it into a light warm breeze. Invented this nozzle was for quick drying, this function it performs, as it covers a larger area than the concentric nozzle. It saves time, besides, it makes a powerful hot air stream softer, diffuse and gentle, and it protects the scalp from drying out.

In addition to the diffuser and concentrator, various nozzles in the form of brushes are produced. Hair dryers with a set of such attachments are usually not very powerful and are intended primarily for styling.

- The nozzle in the shape of a half round brush is useful for hair with "chemistry", if the curls need to be straightened. Nozzle half easily lifts the hair from the roots and smoothes the strands.
- Standard round brush with plastic teeth - to create curls.
- A nozzle comb - for leaving, drying and giving of volume.
- Wide comb - for drying and styling.
- Standard forceps - for curling curls.
- Tongs of small diameter - for curling small curls.
- Round brush with natural bristles - to add shine.
- Brush with retractable teeth - creating curls, eliminating the possibility of hair tangling.

Ionization

Many modern models of hair dryers are equipped with an ionization function. This system is designed to combat the negative effects of positive ions on the hair, neutralizing them with a stream of negative, and at the same time retaining moisture. Negative ions smooth scales and reduce the level of static electricity. As a result, your hair becomes shiny and docile.

Tourmaline

Tourmaline technology has entered the market recently. It allows you to produce positively charged ions in much larger quantities. Such hair dryers can dry your hair 70% faster and make your hair smooth and shiny.

Hair Drying Technique

To create a volume on the hair of medium length and long start drying, bending your head down and dangling the hair. Beat your hair with your fingers against the direction of growth and energetically direct the air stream in different directions. When your hair is half dry, lift your head and give styling the desired shape. First, comb short hair with a hair dryer, and then brush up against hair growth, head bent forward. When drying and styling, keep the dryer in such a way that the air flow goes from the hair roots to the ends. With such a drying, the hair scales fall correctly and the hair gets shine. And do not bring the dryer too close to the head, the optimal distance is at least 20 cm.

How to choose a technical dryer

When choosing a technical (construction) hair dryer, it is important to consider its main functions, which are of great importance:

- Power - from 1000 to 2000 watts. (the more power, the higher its purpose),
- temperature adjustment (the presence of adjustment increases the efficiency of the instrument)
- The main switch (should be easily switched, and in case of accidental falling off the hairdryer),
- Function of protection against overheating (prevents overheating and ignition of the hair dryer),
- Hot air adjustment (makes it more versatile),
- Cord length - at least 2.5 m. (Allows you to work with a full-length hairdryer),
- Hook (fixes the tool in the right place),
- A set of special nozzles (for extensive applications).

Nozzles for the technical hair dryer happen the following:

- focusing (concentrates the flow of hot air in a certain place),
- Flat (feeds to a narrower area),
- Welded mirror (welding materials),
- Glass protection (used on low-temperature surfaces - for example, glass),
- Reflex (heating pipes),
- Gear (point heating surface),
- Spline (welding PVC materials).

Types of hair dryers

One of the most popular models. It has a slit nozzle. The huge popularity of the model is due to the fact that it can immediately dry the hair and make styling, and with its low price it becomes quite affordable and versatile. It is a hair dryer-gun, which is equipped with a special removable slit-shaped nozzle. The power of such a hair dryer from 1600 to 2200 watts. But this model has its drawbacks - the concentration of hot air in one place and overdrying hair, if you do not pay special attention to the drying process. When using such a device, you need to pay special attention to the care of your hair. Main advantages: low weight and compactness, high versatility (drying and styling at the same time), the ability to dry individual curls and strands.

The choice should be made based on the type of your hair. First, pay attention to the width of the nozzle, it should be about 70 or 90 mm for styling, and from 90 to 110, if a hairdryer is needed first for drying. Ideal - a nozzle 90 mm wide, which is suitable for drying and styling. Too narrow a nozzle can disrupt the structure of the hair due to overheating, and if it is too wide, the styling will suffer, because the entire head will dry out immediately.

Usually such a hairdryer has a brush head. Although the kit for this model comes with several nozzles for all occasions, for example, a nozzle in order to straighten hair, or to give your hair a volume, or to curl large and small curls. Most often, this type of hair dryer has a very low power, as they come into high contact with the hair and at high power can injure the structure of your hair. A huge plus of such models is effectiveness, if you know how to use the device, then you will achieve exactly the result that you intended. All nozzles have a fairly narrow application, so if you need volume, you will definitely achieve your goal. But not everything is as good as it seems at first glance. You will have to invest in a lot of nozzles for all occasions, and you must be able to use a hairdryer professionally, otherwise you will injure your hair. These are professional models, and most often they can be found in beauty salons in the hands of experienced craftsmen.

This type of hair dryer is very popular, and its advertising can be seen on TV, which says that it is a panacea for your hair. In fact, this is a model for sensitive and capricious hair, because the air passes through a huge number of holes scatters and penetrates to the roots of your hair. Reflecting on a model with a diffuser, you need to learn a few things. First, you need to understand that this model is no different than any other features, except for the gentle drying of hair. You will not increase the volume of your hair, but if your hair is very capricious and sensitive, you can choose a hair dryer-diffuser from a good manufacturer and thus preserve the health of your hair. It is not necessary to spend money on the most expensive diffuser models, this is just an advertising move by the manufacturer, it has long been proven that these hair dryers are inferior to stylers and even hubs, especially in terms of styling. If your hair is curled with chemistry, you should use just such a model, otherwise you can make your hair too dry and brittle.

Hair dryer selection options

In the shops you can find hair dryers from famous manufacturers: Bosch, Phillips, Braun and so on, but you need to start off primarily from the characteristics of the dryer. In the first place is the power, which is measured in watts (denoted as W).

Power of any hair dryer - this is the speed of the blown air, and the higher the speed, the lower the heating of the air, which increases its safety for your hair. It is necessary to choose the maximum power for all types, except styler. Ideally, the power of the hair dryer should be in the range from 1700 to 2100 W, and 1600 W is sufficient for normal styling. And immediately realize for yourself that the power is different by 10% than that indicated on the package. Because in Russia the voltage is 220 volts, and in Europe it is 230 volts, and hair dryers made in Europe are rated for 230 volts. In this regard, it is safe to deduct 10% of the specified power.

In addition to power, there is still engineWhich is also very important. The electric motor accelerates the air, the quality of your hair dryer depends on it. You can check the quality of the engine as follows: take the device in your hands and check how much it weighs, if it is heavy enough - the engine is of high quality. The quality of the hair dryer depends on the thickness of the motor winding and if the metal is larger, the device will be heavier. If the winding is thin, the engine may burn out and it will stop working. Immediately check in the store a new hair dryer, if the engine is loud and rumbles - forget about buying this model, give preference to hair dryers that work quietly and almost silently.

Next, look at materialfrom which the device case is made. The best hair dryers are made from plastic, which is resistant to high temperatures and shock. Thin plastic says about the low quality of the product, one drop on the floor and the hairdryer will end. Most often, these models are made in China, so be careful and careful when buying.

The price of a good hair dryer starts from 800 Russian rublesif it is lower, it is produced in China. There are hair dryers with many extra features that cost more than 4,000 rubles. For example, models with an ozone lamp capable of moisturizing the scalp and hair, and with ionizers that kill all harmful bacteria. But it is worth remembering that if you are not a professional stylist, you will not be able to take full advantage of all the additional features.

Be sure to watch the video in which doctors give their advice on choosing, using and caring for a hairdryer:

And ladies with luxurious long hair, and girls with trendy short haircuts prefer to use a hairdryer for drying and styling. It is this simple device that allows you not to walk around the apartment half a day, waiting for the curls to dry completely, and after 15 minutes, get ready and go about your business, even in the winter cold. But in order not to have to spend one or another amount each year to buy a new device, and so that the hair does not suffer from such care, you need to know how to choose a hair dryer. In this article we will deal with this task in detail.

Set a goal and determine the means

Before considering the catalog of the online store or go to the nearest supermarket and understand the abundance of the proposed product, it is necessary to understand which hair dryer is best for you. This can be done right at home, even before finding out whether a particular model is in stock, in a store, and looking for a better price offer.

So, the first task in order to choose the right hair dryer for home use is to correctly determine your requirements and criteria.

Important! Having done this work, you significantly narrow the range of suitable models and can immediately understand which hair dryer is better.

Before becoming familiar with the characteristics of a particular model, you should determine the following parameters for yourself:

1. Power device.
2. Its functionality.
3. Preferred equipment.
4. Cost and trademark.

With all this, we now understand in detail.

Power - Does it affect the condition of the hair?

There is an opinion that the power of the hair dryer depends on:

• how fast it will dry your strands
• how high the temperature will be during drying.

Important! On the one hand, these assumptions are correct, but the essence of power lies slightly in the other. This parameter directly affects the flow rate of the supplied air. But the quality characteristics of the device will depend on this very speed.

But oddly enough it will sound, the preferred power of the hair dryer will also vary with the quality and length of the hair. If you want to choose the best hair dryer for your home, listen to these recommendations:

• 1200 W is the optimal value for those who have a short haircut or who have weak, thin hair. A more powerful device will help to make a “creative mess” on the head, but not the expected styling.
• 1600 W - this hair dryer for home use is suitable if you have luxurious thick and long hair.

Important! There are a few more nuances regarding the power of such a device:

• On sale in abundance are models with the ability to change the speed of the air supply, that is, the very power.Thanks to this, you can make beautiful styling, regardless of whether you have increased your hair, cut it off, or even made an extravagant haircut with strands of different lengths.
• The more powerful the device, the more electricity it will consume. And given the fact that the “voracity” of this small device is commensurate with the consumption of electricity by a vacuum cleaner or a microwave oven, then you should seriously think about whether you really need a more powerful device than recommended for your hair type.

Functionality - Is It Better Easier Or More?

Manufacturers of various household appliances teach all of us to the fact that a modern appliance should be multifunctional. How much is it really advisable, if you need to choose a hair dryer for home use?

First, we list what the capabilities of such a device may be in terms of functionality:

• power adjustment
• air temperature adjustment
• ionization.

We decide what you really need:

1. Regarding power - we have already considered the need for such an option.

Important! In some models, temperature and speed are controlled simultaneously - with one lever. That is, when switching to the second or third speed, the air supply temperature will simultaneously increase.

1. As for the temperature regime, it is enough here only to have the option to supply cold air, and it really worked. Cold flow is used to complete the process of styling the haircut, to keep it longer in a given shape.

Important! Consider that some manufacturers are positioning their models with this possibility, but when operating the device, it turns out that cold air is not supplied, or is supplied, but still slightly warm.

1. Ionization. Today, everywhere you can choose a model with ionization - a humidifier, cleaner, even a vacuum cleaner. Does she need hair? - Here the output will be like this:
   • If you use a hairdryer very often, literally every day or every other day, it is better that this option be available. It will prevent excessive drying of the hair and will neutralize static electricity.
   • If you use such a device at most once a week or less often - there is no sense in its presence.

Important! Another very significant moment if you need to choose a hair dryer for your home is the quality of the engine in the appliance. Nobody will tell you anything about it - neither the consultant, nor the seller, not even the manufacturer himself. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the reliability of the device independently - based on the noise produced by the device during operation. It is necessary to check this when receiving goods from an online store or before making a purchase in a regular supermarket.

Hysterical or too much noise background, which does not pass - evidence of poor quality of the motor. It is better to refuse the device.

Components - what can we deal with?

It is necessary to treat the complete set with all responsibility, and pay attention to some technical details and the number of elements. It will directly depend on this whether the hair dryer will be convenient and practical for home use, or after a couple of times you use it, you put it on a shelf to collect dust.

All technically important details are enclosed in a case. And this means that its integrity and durability is the key to the durability of the device.

Important! Ergonomics is the characteristic that you can only see when you take your hair dryer in your hands. He must:

• convenient to lie in the palm
• do not slip out
• don't be too heavy.

Consider that there may be situations when the device accidentally drops out of hand, slips off the shelf, etc. Therefore, in order to choose the best hair dryer for your home, take the model whose instructions indicate that plastic is used for manufacturing - durable and heat resistant.

Important! Again, do not forget that not all manufacturers are faithful to their activities. In the pursuit of quick benefits, technology can be simplified, raw materials used less quality. Therefore, since it is very difficult to determine the material properties by appearance, and the information in the certificate may not be correct, give preference to products of reliable brands - whose reputation is beyond doubt.

It would seem, and here is the cord. But do not forget that when you are styling your hair, you probably want to look in the mirror - do you get everything right? And to change the location of the outlets only because of the hair dryer or to buy a separate carrier is not very practical.

Therefore, so that when you first try to dry your hair you do not encounter difficulties, make sure that:

• wire length is 2.5-3 m,
• the cable is quite flexible and does not break when folded,
• the place of its attachment to the body rotates freely,
• cord thickness is impressive and there is no doubt about the quality of the insulation,
• plug - corresponds in appearance to the modern version of the "Euro-sockets".

Important! Note that not only is a very short, but too long cord will not be very convenient to use - it will be constantly confused, and will take up more space during storage.

Modeling capabilities

Package may have a different number of nozzles. Of course, on the one hand - the more of them, the more opportunities for modeling. But accordingly - with the number of styling elements, the cost of the device also increases.

As you have seen, if you approach the process wisely and responsibly, you can choose a hair dryer for your home very quickly and easily. And the variety of models after reading the information from this article will no longer scare you like that. Identify clear requirements for each designated parameter - and in minutes you will find a convenient and reliable hair dryer for home use. So - now modeling hair will be for you real fun, and you can try on a new image every day.

What are the parameters to choose a hairdryer

Now we will list the main characteristics of hair dryers for which you need to make a choice.

Hair dryer power

The very first parameter to which you need to navigate when choosing a hairdryer is its power. What does the power of the dryer mean? Many believe that the temperature of the air depends on the power of the hair dryer, but it is not. From the power of the hair dryer depends on the flow rate of air that it feeds to the hair, and a lot depends on the speed of the air supply.

Those girls who have short, thin or weak hair are strongly advised not to get a powerful hair dryer. A hair dryer with a capacity of 1200 watts will be enough to keep your hair healthy. In addition, if you have short hair, too powerful hair dryer will not give the opportunity to put your hair the way you want, due to the fact that they will dry out very quickly.

If you have long and thick hair, or you rush to work every morning and you need to dry your hair in the shortest possible time, then it’s better to give preference to a 1600-watt hair dryer.

On the other hand, a universal solution in this matter is the purchase of a hairdryer with the ability to adjust power.

Modes of operation of the hair dryer

Thanks to the possibility of selecting the operating modes of the hair dryer, you can adjust its power. It is worth noting that the modes in the hair dryers are of two types: the air speed adjustment mode and the air temperature adjustment mode. Not all models of hair dryers include the ability to adjust these two parameters, and this needs attention. Models from the budget segment regulate the speed and temperature of the air with one regulator, and not independently of each other, which is not very convenient, since switching the mode simultaneously increases the air temperature and its speed.

Temperature levels should be several, but not less than 3 positions in each of them.

Ionization function

Thanks to the air ionization function, the hair is protected from drying out and its structure does not collapse, since static electricity is neutralized. Due to this, the hair becomes obedient and will be less to push.

Nozzles

The more nozzles are included with a hairdryer, the, of course, it will be more convenient and easier for you to make hair styling. If using a hair dryer you only dry your hair and do not style it, then you will not really need a nozzle.

Nozzle-diffuser - a nozzle, which is a socket with a tapered end, inside which there are holes that allow air to pass through it, which provides a softer and diffuse air supply. The air flow coming out of the nozzle becomes softer, which allows you to save hair.

Active diffuser - a large nozzle with moving "fingers". These "fingers" massage the skin and allow you to create additional volume to the hair at the very roots.

The concentrator nozzle is the standard nozzle that comes with most hair dryers. This such nozzle in the form of a cylinder with a flattened end. Thanks to this nozzle, the air flow has the exact direction, thanks to which you can dry your hair faster. Also, this nozzle is convenient because you can direct the air flow to a specific area of ​​the hair, which is convenient for styling.

Hair dryer filter

Pay attention to the possibility of cleaning the filter. The filter is located in the back of the dryer and filters the breathable air to protect the internal elements from dust. The removable filter can be cleaned from dust and hair, since these channels tend to become clogged, which affects the quality of the hair dryer.

Tips on choosing a hairdryer

Now let's summarize all of the above and give some practical recommendations.

So, choosing a hair dryer, you must give preference to the model, which will include 2 types of adjustment modes: air velocity and air temperature. These two modes should work independently of each other, that is, so that you can set the air temperature separately, and the speed of its flow separately.

It is very good if the hair dryer will include the supply of cold air, as it blows the hair after styling, it will last much longer.

What company choose a hair dryer

Very important for the hair dryer is its reliability. A large role in this matter is played by the manufacturer. We recommend to prefer hair dryers of the following manufacturers:

• Bosch,
  
• Braun,
  
• First,
  
• Jaguar
  
• Panasonic,
  
• Philips,
  
• Rowenta
  
• Scarlett
  
• Valera,
  
• VITEK.
  

When choosing a hairdryer, also pay attention to the length of the electrical cord. In advance, determine the distance of the outlet from the mirror where you dry your hair so that you have enough cord length. Note that too long a cord will be confused, and too short a cord will restrict you in motion.

When buying, take a hair dryer, it should sit comfortably in your hand. Model the movements that you make when drying your hair, you should be comfortable with the hair dryer.

Which is better to choose a hair dryer from the middle segment

From the middle price category it is best to give preference to a Bosch PHD5560 hair dryer.
