Best Hair dryer in India

 

For many of us, hair dryers are a necessary part of daily routine. They reduce the hair drying time by almost 80%. And there is much more than just drying the hair, these devices can help you style your hair as well (be it curls, or straight).

A good hair dryer has to be light in weight, easy to use and highly efficient. But it should increase the frizz and make the hair shafts brittle.

Best Hair Dryer Buying Guide

When it comes to hair styling, hair dryers are essential tools for both men and women. The warm air emerging from the hair dryer will remove the wetness. When it comes to purchasing a hair dryer, investing in a high quality model will decrease the chances of winding up in a dry scalp and brittle hair.

The key items to focus while shopping for a hair dryer include type, power, material used, hot/cold air or any other accessories. If you aren’t unaware of these factors, we have provided them in detail. Scroll down to know how these factors help you to decide the best of the available brands in the market.

1. Hair Dryer Types

Based on built-up material, hair dryers are categorized into 3 different types of hair dryers. Each of them has unique functionality in improving the hair health by drying and styling. Let’s have a look at each specific type in detail!

• Ionic Hair Dryer

Ionic hair dryer uses negative ions to break down the water droplets (which are positively charges) on the hair shafts. This helps in reducing the drying time drastically. As negative ions don’t open up the hair cuticles (or pores), the hair strands will dry smoothly without any damage.

Further, it neutralizes the positive ions in the hair and thereby reduces the frizz. This type of hair dryer is best suited for thick and frizzy hair. You can use iconic hair dryer at lowest setting to preserve the beautiful curves. By neutralizing positive ions on the hair, these dryers condition your hair and reduce the frizz as well.

Because of faster drying time, it is obvious to over-dry the hair which often to damage and causes fine hair to look limp. So, if you have small, fine or thin hair, then it is better to avoid ionic dryers. And moreover, they are effective in building volume like other blow dryer types. When it comes to price, ionic hair dryers are much expensive than ceramic hair dryers.

• Ceramic Hair Dryer

This type of hair dryer comes with a plastic or metal plate coated with ceramic or porcelain. This coating is specially developed to distribute heat evenly. When compared to others, these hair dryers can sense the temperature present in the room and regulate the heat accordingly. This ensures appropriate amount of heat is used while drying hair, leading to reduced drying time and damage as well.

Though ceramic hair dryers can reduce the heat and increase the speeding time, they cannot generate negative ions like ionic hair dryers. The mild heat settings are perfect for styling any type of hair. As their working mechanism prevents hair from becoming dehydrated, it is perfect for fine and dry hair.

• Tourmaline Hair Dryer

Tourmaline is basically a gemstone with pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties. To say in simple words – when force is applied over tourmaline, it generates electric charge. This material can discharge both infrared heat and negatively charged ions. So, it is often used in manufacturing infrared and ionic hair dryers. However, tourmaline hair dryers are much more effective and faster than ionic and ceramic hair dryers.

In some hair dryers, tourmaline is used in motor. While in some products, it is used as a coating on the heating element. These hair dryers are much safer to the hair as they generate gentle and even heat. When compared to ionic and ceramic, tourmaline hair dryers are 50% faster. They are best suited for thick and frizzy hair. If you have thin and short hair, then it is better to avoid this option.

• Titanium Hair Dryer

In this hair dryer, the heating element is made up of titanium metal. When compared to other hair dryers, this one is much faster. However, titanium hair dryers are not suitable for thin, dry and small hair – because the temperature generated by them can damage the hair shafts. They are the most lightweight hair dryers in the market. Just like ceramic hair dryers, this one also distributes heat evenly and maintain the temperature at steady levels. They are suitable for only long and very thick hair.

2. Motor

Motor is responsible for efficiency and performance of a hair dryer. A motor with good wattage provides sufficient heat and pressure required to quickly dry the hair without damaging it. High-torque and AC motors are the perfect choice as they have the capability of moving the air quickly through your hair. When compared to cheaper and low quality alternatives, salon-quality AC motor provide 40% much faster results. And they can last up to 3 times longer as well. If you use hair dryer regularly, then investing in a product with high-quality motor is important.
