What to Consider When Choosing a Blow Dryer
- Power/Wattage: Look out for the wattage/power when choosing a blow dryer. The ideal wattage for blow dryers is between 1800 W and 3600 W. A higher-wattage blow dryer will dry your hair faster. While these blow dryers are more expensive, they are best for thick, curly hairs. They will reduce drying time, resulting in less damage.
- Attachments: Your blow dryer should have a nozzle attachment for smoothing hair. This concentrates the air flow so that it blows directly on the area you want to smooth. When drying hair, point the nozzle downwards to reduce flyaways. Most blow dryers include a diffuser and a concentrator. Some come with additional attachments such as combs.
- Heat control/ cooling button: Dryers with heat control are among the best, the heat control button will help you set the level you want for the hair, most dryers have about 2-3 controls. You can use the cooling button to style the hair, once you are done drying.
- Speed settings: Speed settings usually help control the airflow of the dryer.
- Ceramic/Tourmaline Technology: Get a blow dryer with tourmaline/ceramic technology if you want a soft and smooth hair. Ceramic technology prevents hair damage by distributing heat evenly. Tourmaline technology reduces frizz and static electricity.
How to Dry a Natural Hair
- Detangle hair, wash with shampoo and do a deep conditioning, rinse it out with water
- Dry hair with a towel until it is damp (about 70% dry)
- Apply a leave-in-conditoner
- Use a heat protection serum on hair before blow drying
- Dry hair using a diffuser attachment or a paddle brush and style.
