subject: Choosing The Right Hair Dryer For Your Hair [print this page] Buying a blow dryer really isn't as easy as it used to be. Nowadays there are so many different brands and models to choose from that it can be a real challenge to find the right one. To make matters worse, all of them boast of unique features or 'used by professionals'. When choosing a hair dryer, you want to make sure you get one that is right for your hair type. Some blow dryers get a lot hotter than others. Those of you who have thick hair will need higher temperature settings.
The first thing you need to consider is the power of the hair dryer. If your hair is naturally thick, then you want a hair dryer that has high temperature settings. This isn't always easy to find as most hairdryers are pretty much the same and have the same wattage and settings. There are exceptions however.
When you have considered the temperature of the hairdryer, then it's time to look at what accessories come with it. Many hair driers have an attached comb or brush. For those of you with curly hair, the comb is the way to go. If you have smooth and straight hair, then a brush will be a better choice.
Another important thing to think about is the weight and size of the dryer. A bigger, stronger hair dryer will get your hair dry faster, but it will also put more stress on your arms. A smaller hair dryer will take longer to dry your hair, but it will be easier to handle. Smaller is usually better, particularly if you want to travel with it.
Before buying anything, it's always good to do a little research, which is thankfully easy on the internet. User reviews are very helpful in determining which dryer to buy. You will probably notice that some brands get consistent good reviews.
