Luxury curls or spectacularly laid strands - all this can be achieved skillfully referring to the "right" hairdryer. It would seem that difficult in choosing this assistant? Came to the store, appreciated the budget and here he, the Savior, in your hands. But where then the complaints about the fact that the hair becomes dull and brittle, it is impossible to make the desired laying or and at all the technique too quickly failed? Answers to such questions are lurking in the competent choice of hair dryer.
Choose a type of hair dryer
First of all, it is worth decreasing for what purposes you actually need a hairdryer. Allocate:
- Classic model. Perfect for home use. The devices differ quite large sizes and high power.
- Compact hairdryer. This option is preferable for travel, since the product has small sizes, it is often possible to add it if necessary. The power of these models is below the precursors.
- Feng-brush. The main purpose of the device is assistance in creating all sorts of hairstyles. The small power of the equipment is enough to give hair the necessary waves or styling them in the desired direction.
Choose hair dryer
The power of the hair dryer characterizes the intensity of the air flow, which your hair will be blown (but not its temperature). Several types of models are distinguished:
- small (up to 1500 W),
- middle (1500 - 2000 W),
- high power (over 2000 W).
If there are thick and / or long hair, the choice is worth stopping on models of the second or third categories. So you will get the desired result, and the technique will not have time to overheat. For shorter curls, and fragile and thin hair are suitable for the model of the first group. You do not overcover the hair ahead of time and you can make the necessary laying. The optimal option is a hairdryer equipped with a power regulator.
Select the temperature of the hair dryer
It is no secret that hot air has no best impact on the hair - makes them brittle, thinner and fragile. By purchasing a model with the possibility of adjusting the temperature of the feed air, you can choose a comfortable mode for you. The technique with such a functionality is equipped with a switch on the housing and the corresponding markup. The more impact options are offered - the better. But do not forget that if you do not enjoy all sorts of laying, then 2-3 basic modes (cold-hot or warm, cold hot) will be quite enough.
Additional features when choosing a hair dryer
In addition to drying hair, the hair dryer can be equipped with additional useful features.
- Ionization is aimed at preserving the natural level of humidity. Thanks to this technology, hair is not cut, not electrified, their softness and silkiness are preserved.
- The presence of a cold air function helps to arrange neat curls.
- Equipment with a ceramic heater provides uniform heating of air supplied by the device.
- Replaceable filters. The possibility of cleaning filters holding dust and hair from entering into the device will extend the life of the hair dryer. Although this feature is not particularly important.
Choose a hairdryer with nozzles
Concentrator
The cylindrical nozzle with a flattened end is present in each device. It is designed to direct the air flow for more comfortable use. The narrow concentrator will become the perfect choice of owners of fragile and weakened hair, as warm air is fed to the directionally, without stopping the nearest sections.
Diffuser
Thanks to its design, "Fingers" provide uniform dispersion of warm air fluxes to the roots of hair. Since the action of this nozzle is not aimed at giving the volume or formation of curls, then such an adaptation is relevant for the holders of kudryashek.
Active Diffuser
The nozzle differs from the previous presence of moving "fingers". They massage the scalp and give hair additional volume from the roots.
