A professional hairdryer can make all the difference in your hair routine. Whether you're a professional hairstylist or want to achieve salon results at home, investing in a quality hairdryer is essential. But with so many models available on the market, it can be difficult to choose the best professional hairdryer for your needs.
What criteria should be taken into account when looking for the best professional hairdryer?
Whether you're a professional hairstylist or are just keen to take care of your hair properly, it is essential that certain criteria be considered when looking for the perfect hairdryer.
- Velecta® Paris hairdryers all undergo meticulous checks, and airflow is at the heart of our research and development processes. Our hairdryers are all professionally designed to ensure perfect airflow for optimum performance and fast drying.
- How much power a professional hairdryer has is also an essential feature. A powerful hairdryer means faster drying, which is ideal for people in a hurry or who have thick hair. To get the best results, we recommend a minimum of 1800 watts.
- The cold air mode is also a nice feature included on the best professional hairdryers; it helps to set the hairstyle and reduces frizz. It is particularly useful on hair that is curly or susceptible to frizz. When you activate the cool air mode, the appliance diffuses a stream of unheated air; this protects your hair while keeping your style in place.
- It is also important to consider how ergonomic and lightweight the appliance is. A well-designed hairdryer with an ergonomic handle is more user-friendly; it won’t make your arm ache so much while you dry your hair. What's more, a quiet, lightweight hairdryer is more practical and easier to work with, which is particularly good if you have long styling sessions ahead of you.
- Finally, if you are a fervent defender of domestic manufacturing, Velecta® Paris is proof that it is still possible to find hairdryers that are "Made in France". Opting for a locally-made product is one way to ensure you buy superior quality while supporting the French manufacturing industry.
Why do some professionals consider ionic Hairdryers to be the best hairdryers?
Here are some of the main features of this technology:
- Quick drying: the negative ions generated by an ionic hairdryer can significantly reduce the amount of time you need to use the hairdryer for.
- Ease of use: ionic hairdryers are usually lightweight and ergonomic, making them easy to handle for long periods of time. They are often equipped with advanced noise-reduction technology, for quieter drying.
- Versatility: ionic hairdryers are suitable for all hair types, whether you have straight, curly, fine or thick hair. They offer great styling versatility, so you can create lots of different styles and textures.
- Long service life: professional-quality ionic hairdryers are made from durable, hard-wearing materials, giving them a long service life. They are designed to withstand regular and intensive use.
How does ion technology work?
Ionic hairdryers are certainly the best hairdryers for professionals. Ionic technology works by generating negative ions, which play an important role in drying and styling hair.
Ionic hairdryers are equipped with ion generators that produce negatively-charged particles. These negative ions are released into the air diffused by the hairdryer.
Static electricity is a common problem when drying hair, especially when the air humidity is low. Negative ions neutralise the positive charges on the hair, thereby reducing static electricity. This helps to prevent frizz, and keeps hair smooth and manageable.
Hair cuticles are the protective scales that cover the hair shaft. When the cuticles are open, the hair is more vulnerable to dehydration, damage and moisture loss.
Ionic hairdryers differ from traditional hairdryers in that they work faster: hairdryers without ionic technology take longer to achieve a similar result. Because of this, ionic hairdryers help to keep hair looking beautiful.
Using a hairdryer that does not feature ionic technology can lead to hair damage such as dehydration, brittleness, breakage and split ends. Ionic hairdryers help to prevent this damage by locking in the hair's moisture and minimising exposure to excessive heat.
Light reflects evenly off the surface of the hair, making it look smoother and shinier. As a result, your hair looks healthier and more radiant.
Ionic technology is beneficial for all hair types: straight, curly, fine or thick.
