10 Best Hair Blow Dryers 2020 Guide
The main purpose of this article, 10 Best Hair Blow Dryers 2020, is to define a hair blow dryer, tell how it is used (more often than not), and the various options in terms of brands, designs, and colors that are available on the market. I hope you will find value in the information provided. Let’s begin.
What Is A Hair Blow Dryer?
Very interesting question. A hair blow dryer is simply an appliance that anyone can use to direct various levels of warm or cool air with the objective of changing your hair’s state from wet to dry. They come in many forms, sizes, colors, and shapes. However, there is a more popular and standard shape which looks like a ‘gun’ so to speak. The different types will be outlined further on in this guide below.
How Do You Use It?
Well, simple enough! All you need to do is to ‘aim and fire’…well in a manner of speaking! Seriously now, ensure that wherever you will be using the hair blow dryer, the area is clean and space is clear. You do not want any electrical cords getting caught in any way and causing more harm than is needed.
Before you turn it on, be sure to have selected your temperature setting and speed (if both elements are on the dryer as options) and then you look at your hair.
Ensure that your hair is damp and not dripping wet before you start drying it. This will make the drying process go much quicker and also less messy. The best way is to do your hair in sections – the smaller the quicker and the better – I have found when I choose to blow dry my tresses.
Who Can Use It?
Well, quite honestly, I would only recommend the use of a blow dryer be left up to a mature adult or teenager – no babies or toddlers – it is not a toy. If used improperly, you could get electrocuted or badly burnt. So, be careful also, even as an adult – we do make mistakes as well!
Benefits Of Using A Hair Blow Dryer
Like everything ‘under the sun’, there will be pros and cons. In this section, we will be looking at the benefits. Something to keep in mind is the direct and indirect use of heat on your hair which should be used sparingly for your strand health.
Here are a few good ones that I found:
- It saves time when you might be in a hurry
- It is easy to use and does not take a ‘rocket scientist’ to figure it out
- It is portable
- It is lightweight
- It comes with various settings in terms of heat and motor power – you get to choose which is best for you
- It is sometimes affordable
I am sure that you might be able to come up with a few more – like:
- Drying the household pet (cat or dog)
- Drying damp socks
- Drying the soiled sofa
- Drying the glue on your daughter’s homework project, and such the like.
However, I do advise caution in using it specifically for what it is intended in order not to be faced with any harmful results. Without much ado, let’s take a look at the 10 Best Hair Blow Dryers 2020 guide, from which you just might find the one that will meet your needs.
