A hair blower (also known as a hair dryer, hairdryer or blow-dryer) is an electrical device used to dry your hair. It consists of a small electric motor, a fan and a heating element. The motor turns the fan, which pulls air through a filter and over the heating element. This causes the air to warm up and it flows out of the barrel of the hair dryer as hot air. Some hair dryers also include ion technology, which generates negative ions that reduce static electricity on your hair.
The ions that the dryer produces also cause your hair cuticles to close, which speeds up the evaporation of water on each hair strand. This helps reduce frizz and makes the strands appear less dull and lifeless.
Choosing the right hair dryer for your needs depends on your hair type and what style you want to achieve. For example, thin hair typically requires a low heat setting to prevent damage while thick, wavy or curly hair needs a diffuser attachment that's engineered to spread out the airflow to help your curls retain their shape and minimize frizz.
Hair blowers can be found at beauty supply stores and some department stores and are used to sculpt hair into various styles. They are also used to blow away any remaining water or moisture on the ends of your hair after shampooing and conditioning. Once your hair is shaped into the general place you want it to be, you can then add any styling product you choose to your hair to finish off the look you're going for. Generally, only a dime to nickle size amount of hair product is needed. hair blower
