According to a survey conducted by American sociologists, women use a hairdryer more than twice a week, while the period of using one hairdryer is just over two years. However, the huge variety of models and manufacturers sometimes confuse buyers.
Instructions
Step 1
The main characteristic of each hair dryer is its power. Hair dryers with a power of 1400 W or more can be used in professional mode, that is, such a device can dry up to 20 heads per day. However, for domestic use, a hair dryer from 800 W is enough, travel models are usually less powerful: from 400 to 800 W.
Step 2
The second factor in choosing a hair dryer is the number of different modes. The selected model must have a hot and cold mode. With the cold setting, you can secure styling by directing cool air over the curled strands. It is desirable to have several modes of warm air, for thinner and weaker hair, as well as for children, a more gentle mode is suitable, that is, cool air and minimum power. For stronger hair and a quick effect, hot air and strong power will do.
Step 3
The complete set of the selected hair dryer is also important. There are many nozzles, but the concentrator is the most useful for you - this is a small plastic nozzle that concentrates the flow of air from the hair dryer in one direction, which allows you to gradually dry one strand after another. The second interesting attachment for the hair dryer is the diffuser - it has several small holes, passing through which, the air is dispersed through many "fingers", on which you can neatly wind the strands. This styling looks a little sloppy, but very attractive.
Step 4
Pay attention to the mesh on the back of the machine. The hair dryer first sucks in air into this hole in order to heat it up and blow it out while hot. It is important that the mesh is fine, otherwise your long hair can be sucked inside together with the cold air, which will negatively affect both your hair and the work of the technique.
Step 5
Be sure to ask the staff to check your hairdryer in the store before buying. Listen carefully to its work, the noise should be monotonous, without extraneous sounds. Any sound out of the general range may indicate a malfunction.
Step 6
Don't choose a model that is too heavy for you. Hold the hair dryer in your hands, you should be comfortable. To check, take it in your left hand and try to dry your hair for 30 seconds, your hand should not get tired.
