Which hair dryer is the best for you?

Published: 2015-05-14 by Marina Milojević in Tools & Accessories

Hair dryers are key tools in our beauty routines, but not all hair dryers are created equally! It is not always easy to know which hair dryer might be the best investment for your hair health, and this question pops up in conversations again and again…

Investing a bit more money in one that is more expensive may visibly improve the health of your hair and make it easier to style, but again, the price shouldn't always be the sole criteria for making a decision. Before making any major investments, you should consider a couple of different factors such as the limits of your budget, your particular needs, and all of the necessary features your hair dryer shouldn’t be without.

To help make your search for a hair dryer easier and a more enjoyable experience, you may consult a website dedicated to the question “What hair dryer?” - The mission of the team behind this project is to sail across the territory and narrow down the best hair dryers on the market, suitable for all kinds of needs. 

Before you immerse yourself in 100% honest reviews and customer feedback for each hair dryer found on this website, there are a couple of aspects to keep in mind.

1. The specific needs of your hair
Identify your hair’s texture and length, as this may be significant to determine the types of heat and speed settings needed. For example, consumers with short hair will mostly benefit from gentle hair dryers, while those with longer hair may get more value from stronger hair dryers that can speed up the drying time.
2. Decide on the most essential features
Your ideal hair dryer should address all of the needs of your hair. Multiple heat and speed settings, for example, are great for people with thin and fine hair, while the diffuser is essential for curly hair. Cool shot option is great if you wish to add some additional shine and set your hair style, while high-speed hair dryers may significantly decrease drying time. Finally, there are many different technologies to choose from (such as ceramic, ionic, or tourmaline), and you can learn all about them from the aforementioned website.
3. Decide on your budget
Hair dryers come in a large variety of prices, so one of the most important decisions to make when you’re investing in a new one is to determine the limits of your budget. Whether you decide on a specific price or you’re looking for something to work within your budget, focus only on those hair dryers that fit within that price range. You should also ignore price as a quality indicator every time when more reliable indicators of quality are already available.
4. Read product reviews
To make sure you're getting what you pay for, look at product reviews from both professionals and other buyers before making a purchase. Read and compare experiences customers have had with a particular hair dryer, to get the most accurate evaluations. In addition to the social proof, you should also investigate the quality of a company’s customer service.  Photo: RyanMcGuire @Pixabay
