Finding the right blow-dryer can be a challenging quest. There are so many different options on the market, with so many features and designs that it can be confusing.
The first thing is matching the device to the hair type, as this can significantly improve the health of the tresses. This information is usually visible on the box or can be easily discovered by asking for help in the shop. Different hair types generally need various accessories and features, so it is relevant.
Furthermore, these are the key points to look for while shopping for a blow dryer:
- The Product’s Material: There are many options, but in general, ceramic and porcelain dryers are recommended for hair that has been damaged in the past. Titanium for thick, strong hair; ionic for thin, frizzy hair.
How To Choose The Best Blow-Dryer - The Wattage: The rule is that the higher its wattage, the faster the hair will dry. If the wattage is too low, it is more likely to stop working in a short time. People with damaged hair should pick a dryer with wattage of 1800 or more.
- The Weight: Picking a lightweight dryer is important so the arm won’t get tired, which will make the process more comfortable. Tools weighing approximately 1 pound (0.45 kg) are appropriate for home use.
- Multiple Heat Settings: A dryer with low, medium, and high heat settings are ideal as it is possible to change and find the best feature needed for the situation, like hair type. Also, a cool setting is attractive as it will help reduce frizz when used at the end of the process.
With these tips, finding the right blow-dryer will be an easier quest to achieve shiny and healthy hair!
