Professional Hair Dryers

When you hear the words professional hair dryers, I bet you immediately have the image of a hair salon where busy hair stylists pep up the hair of their regular customers using this expensive and bulky dryer. However you might be surprised to find out that many people use professional hair dryers at home as well.

One of the reasons why this might be surprising is because earlier on professional quality demanded higher price. While today it is still the case, manufacturers have started to drastically decrease the retail prices on their most expensive hair blow dryers so that today practically everybody has easy access to on without having to resort of an even higher cost of getting their hair done at a hair salon such a Tony and Guy.

Benefits and qualities of professional hair dryers

One of the best qualities of the professional hair dryers is that they are truly built to last for many years. They are very durable and made of quality material that don't break so easily. Also they are extremely compact nowadays, so they can be used by pretty much anyone. Earlier one the professional type hair blow dryers used to be quite bulky and heavy, so people who were having problems holding such an accessory for a long time in their hands were experiencing wrist and arm pain. Also people with arthritis could not easily use them. However now they are quite light and compact indeed.

Speaking of durability, I accidentally dropped mine from my cosmetics desk the other day (I have a tile floor which is not very hair dryer friendly since it's quite hard), and my hair dryer remained intact without even as much as a scratch or chip on it. I am definitely looking with other eyes at my professional style blow dryer ever since.

Professional Hair Dryers Vs Regular Hair Dryers

Here are actual technical details that promote a hair dryer to a professional quality and sets it apart from a regular blow dryer.

  • Has extra heat settings
  • Has a dial with many power settings from off to full power
  • It has an AC adapter motor that greatly extends the life of the dryer
  • Has true cold settings that cools the air
  • Uses less electricity, which means is more energy efficient and costs you less in monthly bills
  • Withstands regular and frequent use much better than regular hair blow dryers
  • Dries the hair faster, many times as much as 60% faster
  • Much gentler to the hair and maintains its health and shine without making it all frizzy

If you are not sure whether the hair dryer that you intend to buy is a professional or a standard one, watch out for these specifications:

  • Wattage of 1800 or more
  • Auto shut off
  • Extra nozzle for better heat direction
  • Removable filter
  • Cool air feature
  • Different power and heat settings
  • Lightweight and compact yet extremely powerful (if it is lightweight but has a wattage of 1200, it is not a professional hair dryer)

Some of the best brands in professional hair dryers that you can rely on are Sedu, CHI and Solano.
