Professional hairdryers at BellAffair

A hairdryer is a tool that everyone knows – it is THE hair tool. It will be difficult to find a salon or household where not at least one hairdryer is present. The blow dryer does not only dry the hair, but it also helps to style it when used in combination with different brushes. Hairdryers are available in different sizes, weight, speed settings and generally differences in how powerful they are. What is important when you are thinking of buying a new hair dryer and how is it used properly? Learn more about these topics and also how a professional dryer differs from a conventional one.

What makes a professional hair dryer?

The key to salon-level hair is a professional hair dyer which allows for easy blowouts at home. Ideally, it is equipped with adjustable heat and speed settings. But there are further features a professional hair dryer must definitely have.

Ionic hair dryers

Have you ever heard of an ionic hair dryer? It has been one of the biggest innovations in hair dryers in recent years. It provides a strong airflow which produces negative ions which break up water molecules so hair can dry faster. A shorter drying time also means less heat damages for the hair.

Beside cutting the drying time, the dryer also prevents hair from being prone to frizz and static hair while reducing flyaways. So why not opt for an ionic hair dryer? It cuts drying time, reduces hair damage and prevent static hair.

Hair dryers with diffusers

Diffusers are ideal for people with curly hair. It simulates natural drying, thereby directing less heat heat at the hair to prevent damages. 

The diffuser raises manageability in frizz-prone and unruly hair all while damaged hair is dried gently. It allows for an even heat distribution with long props reaching deep into hair.

What you should pay attention to when buying a diffuser

• The more air holes it has, the more effective it is
• The bigger the surface, the more drying time is cut
• Reduce drying time by drying upside down

Most of the professional hair dryers have diffusers, such as: Jaguar Diffuser HD 5000 or the BaByliss Pro Diffuser for SL ICONIC.

Professional hair dryer: where is the difference to a conventional one?

Spending money for a professional hair dryer is always a gain because it has a longer endurance. Here are some points which make the differences clear:

Professional hair drying: but first heat protection

A heat protectant is inevitable to avoid heat damages and split ends. The heat protectant envelopes hair so heat cannot penetrate the hair fibre easily. Hair oils such as the Kérastase Elixir Ultime protect hair lengths and tips additionally. On top of this, hair oils also nourish hair and enhance shine and suppleness. 

To prevent hair from drying out it needs a lot of moisture. This is why it is recommended to use moisturizing shampoos and conditioners such as those from Schwarzkopf BC Moisture Kick or Wella Enrich ranges. 

Professional hair dryer: what you should pay attention to

Before your purchase, you should take a closer look at the following aspects:

At first glance:

• Solid device
• Ergonomic design suitable for right- and left- handers
• Variable power and & temperature control
• Cable length at least 2,5m
• Styling nozzle for precise stylings
• Diffuser

Some further upsides:

• Ionic technology (frizz prevention for coarse and unruly hair)
• At least 1800W (AC motor)
• High quality design for reduced risk of overheating

Comb your hair before the blow-dry. The use of a professional brush is recommended anyway when blow-drying. Round brushes are ideal for mid length to long hair whereas a paddle brush is better for short hair. For very short hair it is sufficient to use the fingers during blow-drying. Clips are also wonderful helpers for thick hair.
