When you are buying a hair dryer, considering several factors will help you to find the one that best meets your needs. Power level, available features, ease of use, and price can vary from one hair dryer to another. You will need to consider all of these factors and determine the importance of each one before making a final selection.
If you are replacing your current hair dryer, think about the things you like and do not like about it. Try to find a new hair dryer that has the features you like but not the ones you don't like or don't use. For instance, if you never use the cold blast feature, your new hair dryer does not need that option. If your current dryer is a full size model and you have limited space for storage, you may want a model that is compact or that folds up.
Look for a dryer that has adequate power to properly dry your hair and the desired heat levels as well. The higher the wattage the more power the dryer has. Hair dryers can have as many as three different power settings for the fan, usually high, medium and low, and a choice of heat levels. Not all models come with all of these settings, so check for models equipped with the ones you need.
Price is also an important part of the decision-making process when buying a hair dryer. You are sure to find dryers in all price ranges, from quite cheap to very expensive. To find the best priced dryer, comparison shop at different stores and online.
Hair dryers come in several sizes, from compact to full size, and weight can vary from one model to the next. Choose a dryer that will be easy to hold and use, and avoid dryers that are cumbersome or too heavy to hold. Style and design matters of personal preference. Dryers are available in black and silver as well as in bright, bold colors, like hot pink and red, and prints, such as leopard or flowers. Choose a dryer that you think is fun and that suits your personality.
Heat and power settings, cold burst button, a retractable cord, and folding for storage are all features that may be available on a hair dryer. Some hair dryers are very basic and may have only one feature, while fancier hair dryers tend to have more options. When buying a hair dryer, don't be overwhelmed by all of the features a dryer may have. Instead, look for the features you know you will use and make your decision based on the options you need.
