5 Reasons to Use a High Quality Hairdryer

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. Your hair is one of your biggest assets. It’s one of the first things people see (if you want them to) and it’s something that you have a high level of control over every single day – in terms of styling, cut, colour, and more.

You wouldn’t put the future and finish of this immense asset in the hands of an unskilled, incompetent hairdresser. So why would you choose to use a poor quality hairdryer?

In this blog post, we will be sharing some of the most important reasons why a high quality hairdryer IS an investment worth making – and no, it doesn’t have to cost the world.

What makes a hairdryer high in quality?

If you’ve been told by a hairdresser (or your mum) to avoid or steer clear of too many heated tools, then you’re not alone. Unfortunately, for most of us, if we don’t at least blow dry our hair then it takes on a life of its own – which is why hairdryers are undoubtedly the most popular heated tool out there.

The difference between a high quality and a low quality hairdryer lies in the power and the heat control settings, with a high quality hairdryer able to control your hair’s exposure to damaging heat, while presenting enough power to dry your hair quickly and effectively.

In comparison, a low quality hairdryer will likely use a heat setting which is not controlled and which is too hot, damaging your hair and causing it to frizz – thus creating that vicious circle that sees you reaching for a straightener or another tool to combat your hair.

Without further ado, let’s look at some more reasons why investing in a high quality hairdryer is always a good idea.

Reasons to invest in a high quality hairdryer

1. A good hairdryer will offer various heat settings

These heat settings aren’t simply there to warm you up or cool you down according to your environment and the temperature of your shower. The heat settings that are on offer with a high quality hairdryer allow you to tailor your hair’s exposure to heat – with thinner hair benefitting from a cooler setting while thicker hair is best suited to the medium heat setting.

Only the coarsest and curliest hair should ever require the highest heat setting – and even then, exposure to high heat should be limited.

2. Minimise drying time

One of the major benefits of using a high quality hairdryer is that it uses more power and offers a more effective dry than something which is of a poor quality. When you minimise drying time, not only do you cut down the length of time it takes you to get ready – but you also lessen your hair’s overall exposure to heat.

3. A good hairdryer will minimise the need for other heated tools

We’ve already talked about how a bad hairdryer will increase your need for other tools to combat the frizz and other damage caused. So, it follows that when you use a high quality hairdryer, you instantly lessen the need for other tools to continue styling your hair after it’s dry.

In addition to providing you with a smoother and sleeker finish, high quality hairdryers tend to offer more settings and additional features which optimise the overall experience and the end result.

4. High quality hairdryers are quieter and easier to use

Ever found yourself deafened for a few minutes after using a low quality, cheap hairdryer? That’s because they are often loud and unpredictable – with high quality purchases offering a much more refined and pleasant experience.

5. They last longer!

Last but not least, while a high quality hairdryer may seem like a bigger investment at the time of purchase, weighing this up with the frequency at which you use the tool and the chance of a poor quality tool breaking more quickly, will soon allow you to see that a higher investment now is a better option in the long run.
