If you have been shopping for a new hair dryer lately, you were no doubt confronted with a wide range of choices. From inexpensive conventional hair dryers that cost about $10 to professional hair dryers that can cost ten times that much, there really is a large and confusing array of hair dryer options to choose from.
So, how can you sort through the many to find the perfect hair dryer for your particular needs and hair type? The answer lies in becoming familiar with the different types of hair dryers so that you can purchase the one that you really need and avoid the ones that are unnecessarily tricked out.
Anyone who owns one will tell you what they like (or dislike) about the particular model of hair dryer that they use. Every hair dryer has different features and functions for market appeal. There are hair dryer types that are quiet, compact, diffusers, and those with many other features. What you choose to use depends on your particular needs and requirements for your particular hair and hairstyle. One of the newer products on the market for hair is the ionic dryer.
The keywords to look out for are 'negative ions'. Negative ions break down large water droplets into much smaller, micro-droplets. This has two benefits. First, drying hair is much quicker; meaning you hair is subjected less to damaging high temperatures. Second, the micro-droplets are easily absorbed into the hair shaft, which helps to hydrate your hair, leaving it shinier, smoother and healthier.
Nano-silver, ceramic, tourmaline and ionic hair dryers all emit negative ions. It's common for two or three of these materials to be used in the components of a hair dryer. Therefore, make sure the appliance - whichever brand you choose - is one of these types.
Ceramic is also used as a component. There are three reasons for its use. Firstly, ceramic produces negative ions when heated. Secondly, this material heats evenly - unlike conventional metal coils that have hot and cold spots, leading to uneven and fluctuating temperatures. Thirdly, it is very anti-bacterial, which helps keep the appliance and your hair clean. This material is often used in ionic dryers.
All heaters - hair, car and home varieties - produces positive charges particles called positive ions. It's been known for some time that exposure to positive ions can make many feel unwell or depressed. When it comes to your hair, positive ions open up the cuticle of the hair shaft, which in turn, lets your hair's natural moist evaporate, leaving it dry and 'frizzy'.
Negative ions have been shown to promote both physical and mental health in so many ways. They also seal the cuticle of each hair shaft thereby retaining the hair's moisture and helping to hydrate it. It is very handy and you have control over it.
Since they come in various sizes, the consumers have the option of what to choose to fit their need. If they travel often and want a light device to bring with them, they can have a smaller dryer with attachments that will boost the heat energy coming out of it. If you want full control over the heat that it produces, you can purchase those that come with heat settings. With it, you can set the heat of the dryer on a desirable level.
