Hair Dryer

Hair Dryer. You see them at Hair salon and most of the time, you even own one. For many years, it has always been a great way to dry and even style our hair. Though it is better to dry hair naturally, most of us found it useful especially when you need to dry the hair quickly for an important appointment or to catch up with sleep.

Settings about Hair blow dryer
Hair drying may seem like a simple task, but there are some things we should at least know in order to maximise the benefits of hair blow dryer and reducing the damage to our hair. To start with the purchase, the reccommended dryers should be between 1,200 to 1,500 watt range. More sophisticated dryers have separate temperature and air-speed controls while the more common ones combines both. Low speed and cool air setting will add fulness to thin, fine or sparse hair. It is also useful for chemically treated or weak hair. To form some curls, you can set the heat to medium with low air speed. Having a higher heat can also efficiently dry and set the hair to reduce the frizzines but should be done at medium or high speed.

To reduce hair damage, you can:-

1) Reduce Heat
High heat setting should not be used too frequently on your hair as it can stress and damage the health of the hair. Cool air setting on hair blower is more preferable option if you need to blow dry your hair on a daily basis. Keep the blow dryer in constant motion to avoid over-heating certain portions of the hair.

2) Use Hair-Protectant
Use hair-protectant such as leave-on conditioner or hair serum to protect your hair strands. Also use them regularly so that it can protect against strong sunlight in a long run.

3) Cut down on Hair-Blowing Time
To save energy and hair stress, towel dry your hair before you start the hair blowing business. To further reduce the hair damage, cut down on the blow drying time. It will give unneccesary stress to your hair if you try to dry your hair completely with the blower. It is reccommended to blow your hair till it is partially dry.
