How to choose a good hair dryer

Probably, no modern woman now does not do without this miracle of technical progress, which is indispensable in creating a perfect image, the finished look of which gives an elegant hairstyle. The origin of the word "fen" is associated with the name of the warm alpine wind "fen", and indeed, when drying hair with a hairdryer, it seems that they are warmed by a warm breeze. Initially, the appearance of a hair dryer was associated with the need to quickly dry hair, but over time, hair dryer became increasingly important in creating complex, perfect hairstyles and significantly expanded the ability of women to create their own unique image. The theme of our today's article is "How to choose the right hair dryer".

Despite the seeming variety of models offered by manufacturers, all of them can be schematically divided into three large groups.

The first group consists of so-called hose-hangers, or hairdryers with a slit nozzle. Such models of hair dryers are most common among professional stylists and in everyday use. Its popularity fen concentrator is primarily due to its versatility, because it allows both to dry and style your hair in different hairstyles. Typically, a special variety of attachments, it does not differ, since hair styling is carried out with the help of combs and brushes for laying under a hot air jet of such a hair dryer. When choosing a hair dryer, it should be noted that it is most harmful to the hair, since it focuses the hot air at one point, so when using it, you must have sufficient skills and skill to not damage your hair. The most significant characteristics when choosing a hair dryer of this type are power (preferably in the range of 1600-2200 W), as well as the width of the nozzle. Professionals recommend to prefer fenam with a nozzle in the size of 70-90 mm for stacking and 90-110 mm for drying, that is a universal option will be a hairdryer with a nozzle measuring 90 mm. This is due to the fact that when using a nozzle that is too narrow, the air stream is too concentrated at one point and can dry out the hair and scalp. When using a too large nozzle, it is difficult to achieve the desired effect, since the created airflow will be more sparse and scattered, which will complicate the laying.

Another popular variety of hair dryers are hairdryers, stylers , or hair dryers . They differ, first of all, by the variety of all kinds of attachments, and also by lower power and temperature, and accordingly, are the preferred option for thin and damaged hair. However, their use requires a certain skill, since such hairdryers have the maximum contact with the hair, and even with reduced power and temperature characteristics in inept hands can damage the structure of the hair.

Typically, the hair dryer is a brush-brush, sometimes several brushes of different diameters, coatings, with bristles and without. Each of these nozzles has a definite, narrowly directed function - for straightening, for curling small or large curls, for giving the hair a volume, and in view of this narrow focus, the maximum result is achieved. The most effective in use are hairdryers-stylers with power from 1000 W, and also necessarily having the function of cold blowing. The presence of such a function allows you to consolidate the effect and will ensure that your curls do not turn into "icicles" in a couple of hours. The disadvantage of such hair dryers is that they are not suitable for drying hair, especially thick and long.

Dryer-diffusers, or hairdryers with "fingers." Such a hair dryer is most suitable for gentle drying of hair, and thanks to the preservation of the "wavy" effect, it is especially suitable for owners of curly hair or hair with a chemical wave. The diffuser is a wide bell, which, through numerous openings, lets through powerful air jets, transforming them into a warm, breezily influencing hair structure, a breeze. Some models of diffuser diffusers have moving hollow tubes - "fingers", which vibrate during use, giving the hair extra volume and massaging the scalp. Such a nozzle is suitable only for curly hair, since if you will dry out such a diffuser straight hair, the hair will look untidy, since the ends will remain straight. Thanks to the diffuse air flow, drying the hair through the diffuser is the safest and most gentle, however, to create intricate packings, such a hair dryer will not work. When choosing a diffuser, preference should be given to fenam with a power of 1700-2100 W.

In addition to the type and power of the hair dryer, when buying, pay attention to the electric motor, which is the most important part of the hair dryer and on the quality and characteristics of which depends the efficiency and durability of the hair dryer. Regardless of the model and manufacturer, when choosing a hair dryer, pay attention to its weight - the heavier it will be, the better. This is because the reliability and quality of the engine depends on the thickness of the metal winding of the engine. And the thicker the winding, the longer you will be served by a hairdryer, because too thin winding will quickly burn out. It will be superfluous to listen to the engine and to the sound - the smoother and thinner it will be, the better the engine.

Recently, manufacturers of hair dryers equip their products with air ionization function. The advantage of this function is that when used it allows you to remove the static charge, which makes the hair more smooth and docile.

And in the end, it should be recalled that no matter how "sparing" the mode of the dryer used by you was, constant thermal styling damages the structure of the hair. No matter how busy you are, try sometimes to dry your hair naturally and regularly when laying, use special tools to protect and strengthen your hair. Now you know how to choose the right hair dryer!
