How to recognize and evaluate a good professional hairdryer
High-quality professional hair dryers are the result of years of research and engineering innovation that result in a perfect appliance. Without going into boring technical details, let's try to understand what elements make a hair dryer a truly professional tool.
Here are the features that cannot be missing in a professional hairdryer:
- POWER AND AIR FLOW: a professional hair dryer must be able to dry hair quickly and with an adequate volume of air. A good professional appliance must have a power between 1400 and 2200 Watts and above, and a flow rate greater than 50 m3/h.
- AIR FLOW ADJUSTMENT: Power is nothing without control. Every professional hair dryer has specialswitchto adjust the air flow to the desired flow, avoiding that a jet that is too strong or too weak ruins the styling and compromises drying.
- TEMPERATURE REGULATION: the same goes for temperature. A professional hairdryer has at least two – more often three – different temperatures you can choose from to get a comfortable drying experience.
- LIGHTNESS AND COMPACTNESS: these qualities are a must especially for hair dryers intended for hairdressers, who use this tool extensively. A good hair dryer must be easy to handle, compact, ergonomic and not tire the hand of the person using it.
- ION TECHNOLOGY: a real onemustwhich has become widespread in recent years and which actually represents a step forward that can no longer be given up. Ion technology guarantees delicate drying that respects the natural hydration of the hair.
- COMPLETE RANGE OF ACCESSORIES: among the two most important accessories we mention the diffuser, an essential tool for sculpting curly hair; and the professional silencer that especially in the salon gives silent and pleasant drying, for the client and for others.
The truth is that in a professional hairdryer these features are not only present, but they are also properly balanced to ensure the best experience of use and drying. It is precisely the experience of use that is the real difference between professional hair dryers and lower quality hair dryers.
