Most hair dryers available in the market today boast of numerous "features" that look appealing and enticing to consumers. If you really need healthy, strong hair that isn't brittle or frayed, we think it is highly appropriate to spend few extra bucks to acquire quality hair dryers; something that you can be proud of every time you wash and dry your hair.

Hair dryers have become a commonly used device, but many people may be unaware of the severe risks that can be caused by unsafe practices when using hair dryers. Keep yourself and your family safe by reading these tips and warnings –

Proper earthing should be ensured while plugging the hair dryer. Unplug the hair dryer when you are done using it. Keep it in a dry cabinet or storage space where it cannot fall or be pulled into a bathtub or sink. Read the warnings and instructions for your hair dryer before use. This includes any instructions in or on the box and the safety label on the cord of the hair dryer. Set the hair dryer to the desired setting--often low, medium or high. Run the hair dryer over your hair, keeping it a safe distance from your scalp to avoid burning. Keep the plug away from hot surfaces while in use.

There are several types of blow dryers available, and you should choose the one that best suits your drying and styling needs. Standard models offer a variety of features, such as:

Multiple heat settings, including a cool setting to help set curls or gel. Assorted attachments for different styling needs. Voltage adaptors suitable for travel. Safety sensors and fan cages.

Let's now take a look at a thorough analysis of some of the features you should look for in a quality hair dryer - and more importantly, why.

The Heating Element:

Cheap hair dryers normally use metal or plastic heating elements that burn with intense and uneven heat. Essentially, they dry your hair by boiling it off. If you don't take great pains to protect your hair, prolonged blow drying will make it grow brittle and eventually break.

With high-end hair dryers, ceramic heating is the standard. Ceramic has remarkable properties - it penetrates the hair shaft safely, instead of heating from outside. Ceramic, which can be infused with tourmaline or other elements, produces a gentle heat that means ceramic heating is safer - ceramic space heaters aren’t as prone to fire hazards the way metal ones are, and ceramic hair dryers won't blast your hair either.

Diffusers & Attachments:

To create more volume or waves, be sure to pick up a hair dryer with a diffuser attachment. A concentrator attachment directs air from the dryer to a targeted space, useful for better control if you like to blow dry your hair straight using a brush.

Wattage:

While wattage varies among hair dryers, we always recommend something 1300 watts or above (unless a travel hair dryer). All of our professional hair dryers fit this category. Wattage directly affects how fast your hair dries (higher watts = more time to snooze in the morning).

Ionic drying:

Cheap hair dryers that use metal or plastic elements diffuse positive ions that cause the (normally neutral) cuticle covering of the hair shaft to open, causing frizz and dull appearance. Ionic hair dryers produce negatively charged ions, which cause the cuticle to remain flat, trapping moisture, eliminating frizz and giving hair more body.

How to Take Care of Your Curly Hair

Kristy Klien asked:


Curly hair is always difficult to style. They are usually dry and frizzy, prone to breakage and damage. They are also difficult to manage because they tangle easily and break in a snap. This is why you need to be extra careful with it.

Curly hair is beautiful. It gives more character and distinction to a person. Although it is nice to have a straight hair occasionally, curls are just as great. It gives the person various images. Wavy curls are very **** to look at and very feminine too. The perception for short little curls on the other hand is often strong and fierce.

In order to display your curls at its best, you have to learn how to take care of them. Here are some pointers that you can use:

• Use the right hair devices. Blow drying everyday is torture for the hair because of the heat. However, if you choose the right hair dryer, you will not worry about heat anymore. The tourmaline hair dryers are good for your hair. Hair dries fast and it allows hair to absorb moisture. This makes the hair healthier.

• Use the right hair product. Curly hair is usually dry and frizzy. Choose a shampoo designed for this hair type. Use a conditioner daily as well. Before putting anything on your hair, make sure that it will not cause it to dry. Most of the hair products available today contain chemicals that threaten dry hair. When you have dry curly hair, your main concern is keeping it moisturized.

• Before styling or blow-drying your hair, free it of the tangles. Gently stroke your wide teeth comb through your hair and carefully free it off the tangles. Do not force the comb through your hair. Keep in mind that it easily breaks and forcing the comb through will just cause more damage.

• When it is already free of tangles, avoid combing it every now and then. Combing your hair will only invite damage.

• Use a diffuser when blow drying your hair. The diffuser minimizes the heat and helps in its even distribution. The curls also stay beautiful after blow-drying. If you have thick curls, you will need higher heat settings but this will not be a problem if you have the tourmaline hair dryers, which are very friendly to dry and frizzy hair.

Curly hair is beautiful. It provides so much personality to an individual. However, it is a challenge to style and manage. The hair is prone to damage when handled incorrectly. This is why you have to be gentle with it. Choose the right tools to use in styling it. Pick a blower that will enhance the beauty of your hair. Choose one that locks in moisture and keeps your hair healthy. Be careful with the hair products too. Choose those especially designed for dry curly hair to make sure it will not worsen the condition of your hair. Carefully deal with the tangles and use the hair diffuser to keep your hair under control.

Hair Care: Prevent Build Up!

Greg Haehl asked:


Hair Care: Deep Conditioning

All hair needs to be conditioned, but dry hair often requires deep conditioning. Condition dry hair each time you shampoo, and consider using a weekly oil treatment. Olive oil is wonderful for dry hair. Many salons and fancy brands of conditioner advertise deep hair conditioning, but you can deep condition dry hair simply by putting your favorite conditioner on your hair, covering it with a plastic cap, and leaving it in for at least 30 minutes. Rinse off, and air dry your hair.

For Frizzy Hair:

Frizzy hair, whether you have fine thin hair or thick course hair is usually due to a lack of moisture and lack of protein in the cortical layers of the hair. You can solve your problem with the frizzies with a silicone oil product made for frizzy hair, buy we prefer to solve the problem rather than treat the symptoms. One of the main prevention method is to avoid ever hot blow drying your hair. This will only make your hair become dryer and more frizzy! Always air dry your hair.

Product Build Up.

Once the hair is coated, your problems will commence. First of all, the moisture that our hair so desperately needs will not be able to permeate through the wall of product build. The moisture is then not able to find it's way underneath the cuticle layer. The hair cannot then be conditioned. Also the oils will not diffuse. If you use any kind of hot styling tools such as blow dryers or hot irons, what will happen to your hair, is exactly what happens when you put an egg into a hot pan. It will fry. So, avoid hot drying your hair and always air dry your hair.

Flat Hair

To achieve flat hair, finish styling with a ceramic flat-iron designed for hair after following the steps above. Choose the heat setting for your hair type, and allow flat-iron to warm before using. Select portions of hair, as per blow-drying directions, and slide heated flat-iron along hair, beginning close to the roots and going past the ends of hair, repeating if needed to fully flatten hair.

Hair Care: Get Trimmings!

Get your hair trimmed. It sounds like a no-brainer, but it's not always easy to fit more frequent haircuts into a busy schedule. Dryness starts from the ends. If you normally get your hair cut every 10 weeks, get it cut in eight weeks. If you usually trim your hair every six weeks, get it trimmed monthly. Month trimmings will always ensure that your hair does not have that ragged ends!

Home Hair Care Remedy

Use mayonnaise: Use a dollop of mayonnaise on the palm of the hand and massage it to the head and leave it on for five minutes before having the bath. The recommended time for the mayonnaise treatment is an hour. Rinse off after that and air dry.

Spray the beer: If you do not get any respite from using the mayonnaise, you can use beer as a good setting lotion that gives your hair the crisp, healthy and shiny look. You can pour some beer into an empty pump bottle and spray on the hair after shampooing and towel dry. Then you can style or blow-dry the hair. However, do air dry if possible and avoid using a hot air blower. Always take good care of your body too because your body is like an automation machine that runs 24 hours a day! Healthy Body will yield great hair!
