The Many Different Types Of Hairdryers
Hairdryers are present in a number of locations other than a hair salon and barber shops
. First invented in France in the 1920's, there are many different types of these dryers. A number are hand held models that are found in many homes, motels, salons and other places where there is wet hair to be dried.
Both the hand-held and the upright hairdryer have control and temperature buttons. On standing models they control both the heat and the length of time it is to be run. On the hand-held model, one will find heat and speed switches, a cold button and other types of controls, depending on the brand purchased.
In addition to drying hair, innovative people have found many uses for the dryer around their home. It has been used with sewing machines and other small places to remove dust. For people who do not have self-defrosting refrigerators and freezers, many people use them to hasten up the defrosting process. Crafter's have found them excellent for quickly drying glue and numerous other uses.
There are different types of dryers such as infrared, ionic ceramic, tourmaline, and others. Each has their own characteristics, which are unique. Ionic dryers, for example are advertised as reducing the amount of static electricity, which builds up when the hair is dried. Ceramic units, on the other hand have a capacity for 'instant' heat. The Tourmaline model is said to use the crushed mineral tourmaline in its construction, which dries faster.
These units come with various attachments which perform different functions. The diffuser attachment is used on colored, fine and curly hair, which makes it possible to retain the curl while drying the hair. Another attachment, which is popular, is the brush, which allows one to have straighter hair. There are also different nozzles, which control the direction of the airflow, as well as other styling tools.
Bonnet hair dryers are very popular with people at home, especially those who set their own hair. These come in several models with one that has a soft cap that fits over the head like a bonnet. It has a hose attachment that goes to a base, sitting on a table. Other types of these models are similar to the salon type, being made of metal and available in a style that sits on a table or is free standing.
The Bonnet type is especially popular with those who set their hair at home because of its hand-free operation. By using this dryer one can write notes, do a manicure or read a book. The unit can be easily set up and taken down, giving a person the convenience of doing their own hair at home while saving the money a salon visit would cost.
The price of hairdryers varies from relatively inexpensive to expensive, each offering special features that are eye catching. When choosing a hairdryer one should look at what each has to offer, what kind of a warranty they have, company return policy and any comments from present or past users. This will give one an idea of what kind will suit their current life style. Whether working, and needing the hair to look nice all day, or going on a date, it is a quick way to have nice looking hair in a very short time.
