Now more than ever, each of us can and must do our part to safeguard the planet, even with the smallest daily actions. What are the first steps to take to reduce the environmental impact caused by non-optimal energy consumption? Choose renewable energy sources and use low-energy consumption tools. If you own a hair salon, the choice can only fall on Eco-Friendly professional hairdryers.
Often, when we talk about energy consumption, we tend to think that the greatest impact on our bill is due to lighting. In doing so, however, we forget other devices that absorb just as much electricity: the perfect example is the hair dryer, an appliance that proportionally impacts the meter a lot, especially when we use it frequently. The low consumption hairdryer energy saving helps you save on your bill and significantly reduce the impact on the environment , contributing to the path towards a greener world. This is a fundamental aspect for a hair salon that wants to be innovative and cutting-edge.

How much does a hair dryer consume?
You may have wondered how many kilowatts does a hair dryer consume , especially if you own a salon and make massive use of hair dryers. Of course, the answer is not univocal because It depends on many factors , first of all the characteristics of the hair dryer used. Each model has a power in itself which affects energy consumption, but this is not the only criterion to evaluate . Power is indicated with a number accompanied by the letter “W” (watt). For hair dryers, this value corresponds to the power absorbed by the device at its maximum speed and heat of the air. At a low heat and speed level, therefore, the hair dryer will consume much less energy than it needs to operate at maximum heat and speed. On average, a hair dryer today consumes 40 kWh, with variations that obviously depend on the type of appliance and the power set.
However high power does not mean high consumption , because in the latest generation of hair dryers it allows you to work with reduced times and therefore, ultimately, to save energy. To know the actual consumption of the appliance, therefore, you need to multiply the power of the hair dryer by the number of hours of use : the value obtained represents the kilowatt hours (kWh) that we find on the bill. In conclusion, when evaluating whether a hair dryer is low consumption, you need to evaluate all its features, including the air flow, the motor, the drying technology.

Energy saving and excellent performance: two essential elements
To ensure that a hair dryer consumes little electricity, there are two main solutions : use a higher power (but still controlled) to reduce drying times for each customer, or aim for a slightly lower power, but which still guarantees optimal drying. Adding together the savings obtained for each customer served throughout the day , a significant result will be obtained. Furthermore, there are some technologies that allow a hairdryer to consume less energy without compromising the result : let's look at them together.
Ion technology for a low-consumption hairdryer
One of these technologies is the one to ions and ceramics , which allows you to save a lot of time (and therefore electricity) in drying your hair . Let's see specifically how an ionic hair dryer works and why it can be considered low consumption.
Ions are atoms that have lost or gained an electrical charge. Atoms that have gained an electrical charge are called negative ions, while those that have lost that charge are called positive ions. Negative ions are also called “good” because they have beneficial effects both on the mood and physical well-being of people. The ionic technology of Parlux hair dryers uses precisely these negative ions. The beneficial effects are reflected in the health of the hair and, since hair dries much faster, they allow you to save a lot of electricity and are therefore environmentally friendly.

Parlux has thought about the environment not only in the field of energy saving, but also all-round .
