What should you know before buying a hair dryer?

I read lots of real people reviews (healthy hair growth communities and closed social media groups) and systematized this information. So you can save some time – instead of reading and searching what people all over internet recommend, just read these short and clear tips below.

This is a list of most important features that should be considered:

Power

This is one of most important mentioned things. A hair dryer with more wattage takes less time to dry your hair. Dryers with a higher wattage has also less chance to burn out than models with smaller motors.

In most cases experts recommend that a dryer with about 1,800 watts is typically the best alternative. But in real life discussions most people agreed, that best minimum is 2100 W. Professional hair dryers have wattage as high as 3600. Though they are more expensive, but they are great for thick and curly hair.

Ionic Function

Ionic technology – kind of a must in nowadays according to many hair dryer users. What ionic function is for? Ionic technology conditions hair using negatively charged ions, which are created by passing air over an electric stream. Negative ions smooth hair and decrease drying time.

Tourmaline technology – does the same function as ionic. A tourmaline dryer would most likely be more expensive than a regular ionic dryer. However, if you have really thick or frizzy hair, it may be a good feature to invest.

Ceramic technology is also a plus, it uses negative ions and adds shine while protecting hair from frizz and damage.

Weight and Size

Some women were unhappy about heavy and big hair dryers. Yes, they might be very good and professional, but keep in mind that you would use it most probably quite often, so size for your comfort really matters.

Extra Features

Cool shot option – another must! That allows you to blow your hair with cool air when you’re almost finished drying your hair to seal the cuticle for smooth and shiny hair.

For curly hair – Diffuser is a plus, because it helps to distribute heat without messing up texture. Though, it takes longer to dry your hair using a diffuser.

Conclusion

According to all reviews and discussions, the most common short tip before bying a hair dryer would be:

Your hair dryer should be Ionic, with a cool setting, high wattage, and not heavy.
