. But there are many important things that you need to keep in mind while you use it. Some of them are discussed below.
Hair dryer is an electrical device. So whenever you use a hair dryer make sure its cord is not damaged anywhere. If so then you are prone to get an electric shock. Always unplug the device from the supply when it is not in use. Do not use the dryer while taking a shower or any other place where it can come into contact with water. Further, you should read the users manual before using the appliance.
Protect your hair from the heat of the dryer by applying a heat protectant cream or serum. The lint trap at the back of the hair dryer needs to be cleaned periodically. It helps in preventing overheating of the device and also extends its life.
Never place the dryer too close to your hair or scalp. This will harm the scalp skin and the hair. The optimum distance to hold your dryer is about 8-10 inches from the hair. It is best to use the dryer at its lowest temperature possible.
Partition your hair into small sections so that you can pay attention to each part of your hair. While you dry your hair, gently move the dryer in a uniform speed, all along the length of hair. Never hold the dryer at a place for too long. It can be harmful. Always direct the air flow from the root of the hair, down to the tip. This will help in giving the hair a shine and sleek look.
Remember:-
Always read the users manual before using the product.
Make sure the inlet and outlet vents of the dryer are always free from blocks.
Try to avoid setting the dryer on soft surfaces, where a fire is prone to occur.
Never use the dryer where it is possible to come in contact with water.
If using any product or attachments to the dryer, make sure it is compatible and manufacture-approved.
Clean the device periodically, both inside and outside.
