How To Choose A Hair Dryer
Contrary to popular belief, you can actually ensure your hair stays healthy with the right blow-drying techniques – using it on low-heat, holding the dryer about 15 centimeters away from your hair, and keeping it constantly moving. That being said, you need to own the right tool to ensure your hair’s health. Following, I’ve put together a list of things to keep in mind when choosing the right blow dryer for you.
1. Your Hair Type
To ensure that you are getting the right blow dryer, your hair type is a crucial determining factor to keep in mind. There are three types of dryers you can buy – Ionic and/or tourmaline, ceramic/porcelain/infrared, and titanium.
Ionic And/Or Tourmaline – These dryers are ideal for frizzy and/or thick, difficult to dry hair. The dryer shoots negative ions that neutralize water’s positive ions, which dries your hair faster while also helping seal your hair shaft and taming frizz.
Ceramic, Porcelain, And Infrared – These dryers are gentle on your hair and distribute heat evenly. They also emit negative ions. While these are ideal for dry and/or fine hair types, almost all hair types can benefit from using one of these dryers.
Titanium – Titanium hair dryers heat up very quickly and hold a steady temperature. They are not recommended for dry and damage-prone hair types but are a godsend for anyone who has too much hair to dry. They do not weigh as much as other dryers and cut down on hair-drying time.
2. Power
The power or wattage of a dryer is the next thing to take into consideration. Blow dryers with high wattage have more wind power and help cut down your styling time. This helps avoid exposing your hair to heat for too long. However, people with fine hair do not require as much wind power as people with thick hair do.
What Is The Ideal Wattage?
If you have thick hair and want a tool that will help dry your hair fairly quickly, aim for a dryer that uses 1800 to 2000 watts.
3. Weight
The weight of a dryer plays a very important part in the decision making process. If your hair takes a long time to dry, a heavy dryer will tire out your arms. This factor also comes into play if you travel a lot. A light blow dryer is easier to carry. In these cases, it would be a good idea to invest in a dryer that weighs around 400-500 grams.
4. Adjustable Heat Settings
Adjustable heat allows you to use the exact amount of heat that your hair requires to dry. Fine and dry hair types dry off easily with a low-heat setting while normal and thick hair types require the medium and high heat settings to dry off completely.
5. Cold Setting
The cold setting on a dryer helps seal your hair cuticles at the end of styling to ensure smooth, frizz-free, and shiny hair.
6. Attachments
Blow dryer attachments go a long way when it comes to styling your hair. If you like to straighten your hair with a dryer, a concentrator nozzle will help make the process more efficient. Similarly, if you have curls, using a diffuser helps maintain the definition of your curls and prevents frizz.
Blow dryers are an essential part of your hair styling arsenal, which is why it is crucial to ensure that you are investing in the best. Have you used any of the dryers mentioned on this list? Tell us about your experience in the comments section below.
