Picking a blowdryer can be a confusing and daunting task. With so many dryers to choose from how are you to know which is right for you? Well I’m here to make it easier for you to pick one. Here are a few things you should keep in mind:
Wattage is an important fact to consider. The more watts the more power. I prefer to have high wattage with low EMFs. You get an amazing compromise between having the most power while being kind to your environment.
Ionic is the best way to go. Traditional dryers use old school heating methods such as plastics and metals that literally boil the water off your hair. Ionic dryers produce negatively charged ions and trap moisture inside the cuticle having it lay flat and eliminating frizz.
Settings are also something to keep in mind. I prefer high,medium,and low speeds depending on the style and texture of your hair. Make sure that your dryer contains a high,medium, low heat and a cool button.
Be weary of heavy dryers! The lighter the dryer the less tired your arms become and you can spend more time enjoying styling your hair.
Attachments are something you should consider. I always have a hair concentrater which is the key to silky smooth styles. If you are curly haired gal, a diffuser is a must!
Just remember to keep it simple and checkout reviews online. Getting your new dryer should be fun and exciting.
