Hair Dryers

A Hair Dryer can speed up the natural hair drying process by blowing hot air. They're a great way to add volume to hair, reduce frizz or help hold a stylish hairdo in place for longer with some additional Hair Styling products. Hair Drying after a bath or shower is particularly useful in colder weather when wet hair makes heads unbearably cold.

Aim to style your hair as it dries, using a comb to direct the hair into the desired position periodically. For the best results, start towards the roots of your hair and work outwards like you would do when applying hair product.

Using certain salon styling products alongside a Hair Dryer will help protect hair cuticles from damage. Using medium heat and airflow settings rather than the highest ones will also help minimize the risk of heat damage hair. Low settings work best for Hair Drying after two days from shampooing.

When shopping for a Hair Dryer it's worth thinking about what sort of hair you have and what you need to be able to do with your Hair Dryer. If you have a thicker head of hair, then a Hair Dryer with a higher wattage motor will give faster airflow that dries quicker without risking hair cuticle damage at higher temperatures. A Hair Dryer with a separate range of settings for heat and airflow also helps.

A good Hair Dryer should be comfortable and easily manoeuvrable. Check that switches and dials are easy to operate and adjust, which will give more control as you dry and style. A concentrator setting can produce a narrower stream of airflow for more precise drying.

If you have curly hair a diffuser attachment will help reduce frizz, which are sometimes included. Short fingers do this by spreading the airflow out, whilst diffusers with longer fingers also known as volumizers will direct airflow to the roots to add volume.

It's also well worth considering a Hair Straightener or Curler or Hair Styler as well for a full suite of personal salon options.
