Hair Dryer Buyer’s Guide
A good hair day can totally transform your mood, and the right hair dryer will go a long way towards having you feeling your very best; whether you have straight hair, curly hair, or anything in between!
Hair dryers are available in a huge range of designs to suit a range of budgets. But finding the right hair dryer to suit your hair is no easy task. Not sure what to look for? Check out this buyer’s guide.
Power
The higher the wattage of your hair dryer, the more powerful it is. If you have very thin hair, you won’t need to spend a lot of money on a very high powered hair dryer. If you have very thick hair that needs a lot of taming, a hair dryer with more power is a better option.
Speed and Heat Settings
Most hair dryers come with 2 speeds and at least 3 heat settings. More advanced hair dryers also have a cold air blast. Use the hottest setting for rough drying, and reduce the heat for more styling. If you like to carefully style your hair in the morning, you’ll need a range of head and speed settings.
Concentrator Nozzles
A concentrator nozzle will give you more control over your hairstyle, preventing the wild look that can come from erratic drying! Most hair dryers come with this as standard.
Ionic
Hair dryers with ionic technology dry your hair faster. These are best if your hair is prone to fizz, helping create a smooth and sleek look. The ions transform the water molecules into smaller droplets for quicker drying.
Weight
If you have very thick hair that takes a long time to dry and style, you’ll be better off with a lightweight model. Arm fatigue doesn’t go hand in hand with a good hair day!
