How to Choose a Hair Dryer

How to Choose a Hair Dryer

First, we need to let the hair dryer dry the hair. Whether it can be blow-dried is the first factor to consider.

Secondly, is the blow-drying speed fast? How much time is needed? If you leave some hair dryers on for more than ten or even twenty minutes, you will really rather leave your wet hair and wait for it to dry on its own. The next important thing is: How does your hair look after blow-drying? Is the hair frizzy or soft and smooth? Will it damage my hair after blowing it a few times? Finally, how does it feel to use a hair dryer? Should I burn my scalp? Are you tired of lifting it? Is it noisy? Will it be noisy to the ears and tired to the hands? These user experiences are extremely important. Of course, there is also appearance, but appearance is a matter of different opinions. Just think that you like it and are willing to use it.

What parameters should you look for when buying a hair dryer?

The needs are listed, so when we choose a hair dryer, we can choose according to our needs from multiple dimensions such as dry hair, warmth, hair care, etc.

How fast does hair dry? Look at the wind speed!

Remember, the parameter that affects how quickly a hair dryer dries hair is wind speed, not temperature.

Because our hair is a kind of protein, and protein is very afraid of high temperatures. Excessively high temperatures will cause it to lose water, lose elasticity, deform, become brittle, and harden. Therefore, hair blown out by high temperatures can easily become dry, frizzy, dull, or even split or broken, which is very bad.

So, Luvinbeauty suggest you buy a high-speed hair dryer with a short barrel, air inlet from the bottom and air out from the top. Because such hair dryers are generally equipped with brushless motors, the motor speed is higher, and the air inlet and outlet volumes are larger. High wind speed can dry the hair faster instead of drying it.

Is the hair quality good? Watch the temperature settings, but also the hair style. As mentioned earlier, drying your hair at low temperatures is what protects your hair, while "drying" your hair at high temperatures will obviously damage your hair quality. Therefore, the temperature control method of the hair dryer is also worthy of attention.

Luvinbeauty suggestion is to choose one with a constant temperature function, that is, it is equipped with an NTC thermostat at the air outlet to monitor and adjust the temperature of the air outlet in real time to keep the wind blowing on the hair at an ideal temperature, helping to dry hair quickly, but doesn't make scalp feel hot.

The most practical and common hair care design is to install a negative ion generator at the air outlet, which releases a large number of negative ions during blow-drying to help the hair cuticles close and prevent hair from drying out or generating static electricity.

Therefore, a hair dryer that can meet the above points is a more ideal hair dryer: high wind speed, low temperature, constant temperature, light weight, and negative ions.
