Portable Hair Dryers
If you are a business person traveling a lot to various cities or even countries, or if you're just about
to go on a well deserved vacation, portable hair dryers are a something to look at in terms of convenience, ease of
use and making your life simpler when it comes to drying and styling your hair.
The portable hair dryers have several different names that they are also known under, including
hand-held hair dryers, travel hair dryers, folding hair dryers or cordless hair dryers. They are perfect for
our busy times full of action, activity and stress when everything needs to be done right away and there is little
to no time to devote to one's appearance and well being. With the invention of the portable hair dryers many women
(and men) have seen a great increase in their free time at home since drying and styling your hair now is much
faster and easier. This has certainly helped when one has to look top notch in the next business meeting but there
is not much time to prepare in advance to look presentable.
Some of the main characteristics of the portable hair dryers are:
-
Much more lightweight than the regular hair blow dryers
-
Very fast and easy to use
-
Can be effortlessly taken away on trips and journeys
-
Compact size which makes them easy to put in any luggage or compartment
-
Allow hair drying pretty much anywhere in the house without being attached to a cord
-
Have a hang-up hook for easy mounting
-
Come with a rechargeable battery that can be used practically anywhere in the world without having to
be attached to electric current
-
Have assembly parts including a fan, a heating element, an on-off switch and an adjustable heat control
that allows setting the temperature to the most comfortable levels
-
Are easily used also by professional salon hair stylists on a regular basis
-
Require no fiddling with the voltage or alternating it when traveling to countries as it might be the
case with the dual voltage hair dryer. This is truly a wash
and go gadget no matter where you are in the world at the moment.
Here are some cleaning and maintaining tips for your portable hair dryer:
To make the best use of your hand-held portable hair dryer and prolong its life, you need to
clean it once a month for proper maintenance. By following the steps below you will help your cordless hair dryer
to minimize the chance of malfunctioning or catching fire.
The travel hair dryer has two sides, one that blows out the hot air and the other side takes in
the fresh air. When the air is taken in by the blow dryer, there is after a while lint build-up on the plastic mesh
screen which will stop the dryer from functioning properly. Also lint is in many cases a major cause of house fires
(just think about the lint build-up in clothes dryer vents). So your main task is to remove this lint regularly so
it doesn't get a chance to build-up on the mesh screen.
As a matter of fact, this set of steps is useful for all hair blow dryers, not only for the cordless type.
-
If your hair dryer is a regular type, unplug it
-
Use a cotton swab and dampen its end lightly with water. If it has excess water, shake the extra. It
needs to be damp, not wet
-
Scrape lightly the surface of the mesh screen that is on the back of the dryer to properly remove any
lint fiber from it. With the damp cotton it gets very easily removed.
-
If you have a regular hair dryer, do not attempt to plug it back in until the mesh screen is completely
dry
