Top 5 Hairdryers
Looking for a new hairdryer? We know that making the right choice isn’t always easy. That’s why Beauté Star, in addition to sharing tips on what performance criteria to evaluate when buying a dryer, has made it our mission to select some of the best heating tools of 2022. Learn about the features of each and pick your favorite!
4 Selection Criteria
First, the performance of a hairdryer can be evaluated based on 4 main criteria: motor power, current type, temperature settings, and ions generated.
1. Motor Power
The power of a hairdryer is calculated in watts. The higher the wattage, the more efficient the heating tool. In other words, if you want to reduce the drying time of your hair, choose a powerful device. Usually, the top-quality ones reach at least 1800 watts.
2. Current Type
The type of current is also a criterion not to be neglected when talking about the power of a motor. There are 3 different types:
– Direct current (DC) motor: A motor for domestic use, with a life span of 300 to 400 hours.
– The alternating current (AC.) motor: A motor for professional use, with a life expectancy of 700 to 1000 hours.
– Brushless motor: A motor with the best technology on the market, with a life expectancy of up to 10,000 hours.
3. Temperature Settings
The best hairdryers always blow hot and cold air. The heat helps dry hair quickly and efficiently, while the cold air helps seal cuticles for a perfect finish. Also consider the amount of airflow emitted by the hair dryer. Ideally, you should have a button to control the speed of the heat.
4. Ions Generated
Finally, to determine if a hairdryer is professional grade, look for its ability to generate ions. The must-have appliances available on the market release positive or negative ions. Positive ions help to penetrate the hair with nutrients from your hair treatments and can be used to create an increased volume. Negative ions, on the other hand, quickly seal cuticles, control frizz and eliminate static for a professional finish.
