How to Select a Hair Blower

A hair blower, also known as a blow dryer or dry blower, is an electromechanical device that blows ambient or hot air over damp hair to speed up the evaporation of water and help shape the style and texture of your hair. When you blow dry your hair, it creates temporary hydrogen bonds that are stronger than sulfur bonds, which give hair its shape. However, these bonds are very vulnerable to humidity and disappear with a single washing.

To keep your hair healthy, choose an ionic hair dryer that emits negative ions that neutralize positive ions that can cause static. This helps reduce frizz and also speeds up drying time.

In addition, you should select a dryer that is lightweight and easy to handle. This is especially important if you have longer hair that requires more effort to dry. A heavy hair dryer can lead to arm cramps after extended use.

For the best results, you should also consider your hair type when selecting a hair blower. For example, those with fine and thin hair should choose a dryer that is lightweight and has low heat settings since high temperatures can damage fragile strands. Those with curly or kinky hair should look for a dryer that comes with a diffuser and/or narrow nozzle attachment to help stretch out the natural curl pattern of their tresses.

A hair blower's motor is a small electric motor that turns the airflow over and through a heating element, warming it by forced convection. The warm air then blows out the barrel of the dryer.hair blower
