How often do you dry your hair with a hair dryer?

Do you dry your hair naturally, i.e., air-drying or often use a hair dryer?

To quickly have my hair dry or for styling purpose, we, women or at least, myself will often use the help of my best friend ‘the hair dryer’.  A hair dyer becomes one of my must-have items in the suitcase as my travelling partner.

Do I need to carry a hair dryer when there is one available in the hotel that I will stay?  For me, it will depend on the hair dryer’s product quality and heat level provided. If I am not certain with the product provided by the hotel, then I might as well decide to carry one.

Using a hair dryer frequently while at the same time trying to always maintain the hair condition well is not easy. 

After you wash your hair, try to air-drying your hair first to get a semi-dry hair then use a hair dryer afterwards to fully dry your hair.  Don’t forget to use the proper comb suitable to your hair type and length to get a maximum result.

Let’s talk about choosing a hair dryer by looking into several points,

Choose a good quality product

There are many products of hair dryer in the market to choose which range from different prices, size and weight, level of heat, as well as the electric power.  Invest on a product from a well-known brand which will last longer, although it might be a little bit pricey.  A good quality product will give a good result to your hair.

If you tend to often bring a hair dryer on your trip, then select a light weight and folded hair dryer which can be categorized as travel hair dryer, compact hair dryer or portable hair dryer.

Check the capacity of energy source (watt)

Different hair type and style will require different capacity of energy source provided in a hair dryer.  As for me, I will choose a hair dryer with a minimum of 1600 watt to support drying my long hair faster.

Read the instructions

When you purchase a hair dryer, do check and read the instruction so you can handle the product with care. Check on how to storage properly, how to switch on and switch off, does the product have a cooling system after used, and how about the warranty.

And now, let’s speak about another topic on how to maintain the hair condition well while using a hair dryer frequently. Protect your hair from the heat of a hair dryer by using several products that I will elaborate here.

Hair conditioner

Apply sufficient amount of conditioner onto your hair after you rinse shampoo well using a running water.  Spread the conditioner evenly from the mid until the ends of your hair and do not apply a conditioner on your scalp.

Using a conditioner can help to moist and smoothen your hair.  Select the right conditioner suitable to your hair type and need such as, for hair fall treatment, frizz repair, smooth moisturizer and many others.

Hair serum

Apply hair serum on a damp hair after a hair wash evenly from the mid until the ends of your hair to help reducing frizz and add shine.  Use a small amount of hair serum to avoid making your hair greasy.

Vitamin oil for hair

Nourish your hair using a small amount of vitamin oil and apply evenly to the ends of your hair.  Choose the vitamin oil based on your hair need, such as, is it for hair growth, for hair loss, to reduce breakage, or to bring back the shine.

Use the vitamin oil regularly can help to protect the hair from damage and so, everyone will love your healthy hair.

Anti-frizz hair

Towel dry your hair and apply adequate amount of anti-frizz spray allowing your hair to be easily manageable and has a smoothing effect.  Do note that frizz hair will look dry and unhealthy which can impact into your overall image.

Select anti-frizz spray suitable to your hair types, such as for curly and wavy hair, fine hair, or coarse hair.  If you have budget to spend more, then buy a good anti-frizz spray applicable for all hair types.

Have a good and healthy hair.
