Blow Dryers: Blow Me Away!

Ladies, a good blow dryer is an essential! No lie! Who wants to break a sweat just from drying your hair? Not me! A quality dryer will dry your hair fast with the least amount of frizz.
Even after working in the beauty industry for almost 2 handful of years, purchasing a blow dryer is overwhelming. From brands, prices, to technology and etc. the choices for blow dryers available are countless. So here's the what's what in blow dryer trends...

• Wattage

The higher the wattage the more powerful the dryer is. The more powerful the dryer is the faster your hair will dry. Always opt for the highest wattage, especially if you have thick and/or curly hair. Morning minutes before having to be somewhere  is valuable time not to be wasted blow drying!

• Technology

Tourmaline, ceramic, ionic...What's it mean?

Tourmaline is a material used, a semi precious gemstone. Tourmaline generators is the best on the market. It uses a combination of ionic and infared technology. Tourmaline has great benefits for the hair. It releases negative ions in the while drying. Those negative ions helps seal the cuticle with your hair's natural moisture, leaving the hair silkier and shinier. Also, allowing hair to dry faster by breaking the water molecules into smaller sizes leading to evaporation sooner.

Ceramic, also a material used. The benefits of a ceramic dryer is the heater gives off a stronger and more even heat which will help protect your hair from heat damage.

Ionic is a technology emits negative ions which neutralize the positive charge in dry or damaged hair. Ionic dryers can actually improve hair health and create frizz-free, silky, shiny locks. They lock in moisture, help reduce static and work best for delivering super straight, sleek looks. They latest technology in dryers offer a switch that lets you choose the level of ion output or turn the ions on for smoothing or off for volumizing.

A dryer using all technologies is your best choice and available. The Sedu Revolution Pro Tourmaline Ionic 4000i Hair Dryer is priced at $160 and is worth it.

• Lightweight

Self explanatory, personal preference. I prefer to get a work out in the gym, not drying hair. Simple as that.

• Attachments

The nozzle attachment gives a direct stream of heat to the area being dried. Resulting in less frizz.

A diffuser attachment is used for styling curly or wavy hair. It dries curls with heat only. With no stream of direct air, curls will be less frizzy and bouncier.

• Cool Shot Button

Hair's style memory when heated is less. Using the cool shot button really sets the style for longer lasting results.
