Today’s fast pace of life and high-intensity work have caused many people to suffer from hair loss at a young age. It is imperative to take action to protect the hairline! In addition to regular work and rest, regular shampooing, and the use of silicone-free anti-hair loss shampoo to control the water and oil balance of the scalp, as a frequently used tool for hair, you must also pay attention to the correct use of the hair dryer. Improper use of the hair dryer can also cause damage to the hair.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Let’s first talk about how to use a hair dryer correctly, then talk about how to choose a hair dryer, and finally know which hair dryers are worth buying!
Precautions for using a hair dryer
. Blow the hair roots first and then the ends. When blow-drying your hair, especially girls with long hair, you should follow this order, which can also save the entire blow-drying time. You can also choose to let the ends of your hair dry naturally.
. Blow in the direction of hair growth. After magnifying the hair many times, you can see that the structure of the hair is not a flat structure, but becomes scaly as the hair grows.
Back blowing will cause the hair cuticles to open, and over time the hair will become frizzy and rough. Blow-drying your hair helps the hair cuticles to close. It is more recommended to blow-dry your hair in the direction of hair growth.
. Do not blow hot air on the same part for too long. Hair is mainly composed of protein. Hot air concentrated on the same part for a long time will cause the hair protein to deteriorate, thereby causing damage to the hair quality.
. The temperature of the hair dryer should not be too high, and the hair dryer should not be too close to the hair. This is also for the protection of hair protein to prevent the hair's keratin from being damaged by excessive temperature.
. Do not over-dry your hair when blow-drying. The hair is not blown as dry as possible. Do not blow dry it thoroughly, otherwise the hair will become dull and prone to split ends. It will not be particularly obvious for men, but it will be more noticeable for women with long hair.
Factors for purchasing a hair dryer
Combined with the precautions for using a hair dryer, the factors for purchasing are readily apparent. We mainly focus on the following factors:
The motors of hair dryers are generally divided into two types: brushed and brushless. Compared with the traditional brushed motor , the brushless motor has faster speed, lower noise, more wear resistance, longer service life, and is slightly more expensive.
The wind speed of a hair dryer is closely related to the motor. The faster the motor speed, the higher the wind speed of the hair dryer; the higher the wind speed of the hair dryer, the faster it can dry the hair.
Temperature control of hair dryer. mentioned before that you should avoid blowing your hair at too high a temperature, otherwise it will cause damage to your hair. The precise temperature control of a hair dryer can directly avoid this damage to your hair.
A model with negative ion function. negative ions can help close the hair cuticles, making them smoother and glossier.
borrowed several Internet celebrity hair dryers priced under 500 yuan from neighbors in the community. Based on the above purchase factors, we refined them into 8 aspects for comparison. I hope it can provide you with a useful reference for purchase.
This sentence is very important: If there is a group picture or puzzle, from left to right, they are Feike FH6232, Soushi RH1, Panasonic EH-JNA3E, and Leifen SE. This order will also run through the entire comparison process.
1. Appearance design
Among the four hair dryers, except for the first one which adopts a traditional shape and foldable design, the other three models all prefer the compact straight design that has become more popular in recent years.
hair dryer , the air outlets of these four hair dryers are all circular in design. The first one has a relatively rough horizontal strip filter for the air outlet, the second one has a middle shield to let the air out from the outer ring, the third one has a traditional square filter, and the fourth one has a more unique form and uses slits for air outlet.
The first three models adopt a rear-mounted air inlet design, with the motor at the head and the top hairdryer directly passing the air; the last model breaks the traditional design, the air inlet is set at the bottom of the hair dryer, and the motor is hidden in the handle.
The power cords of these four hair dryers are the shortest 1.61m and the longest 1.79m, all of which can meet the needs of daily use.
2. Control buttons
Feike FH6232 and Panasonic EH-JNA3E use a wind speed and wind temperature dual sliding design, with two wind speed modes and three air temperature modes; Soushi RH1 and Leifen SE use a wind speed sliding design + multi-functional air temperature adjustment button, with two wind speed modes and four air temperature modes.
Soushi RH1 and Leifen SE also have a special function that the first two hair dryers do not have - the alternating hot and cold air function, which is quite helpful in suppressing overheating of the hair surface and scalp when drying hair.
Note: The following comparison involves a number of actual measurement data, all of which were obtained by me using non-professional equipment in my daily environment. All data are only responsible for this test sample and do not rule out factors such as equipment errors. The data are for reference only.
3. Feeling in hand
These four hair dryers all weigh about 500g even with the power cord. The weight without the power cord is closer to the weight of our daily handheld hair dryers, which is only about 400g.
Although the four hair dryers all have insulation material shells, the specific touch textures are still different.
The first model looks and feels like cheap plastic. The second model has a glossier luster and feels similar to the first model. The third and fourth models have a matte texture to the touch and are more comfortable to hold. The surface should have gone through a special process.
4. Wind speed comparison
Before doing the wind speed test, I first used these four blowers to blow a table tennis ball.
First wind speed
found that no matter whether it is the first wind speed or the second wind speed, the wind performance of these four hair dryers is the first one <>
Second wind speed
Then the two wind speeds of these four hair dryers were tested using an anemometer.
The approximate result is that the first-speed wind speed of the first three models is about 8m/s, and the second-speed wind speed is about 12m/s; the last one has a first-speed wind speed of about 18m/s, and a second-speed wind speed of about 23m/s. See the table below for detailed data:
Let’s analyze the reasons for the differences based on the test results. The last model uses a high-speed brushless motor, and the entire air duct design is based on the idea of a high-speed hair dryer, with higher wind speed and pressure.
5. Temperature comparison
used thermocouple thermometer to test the warm air and hot air temperatures of these four hair dryers at the second wind speed. The temperature stability of these four hair dryers near the air outlet was good, and no obvious temperature fluctuations were found.
Based on the comprehensive thermal imaging temperature test, the actual air temperature and advertised temperature of these hair dryers are basically consistent.
After using these four hair dryers for 5 minutes with hot air at the second wind speed, the temperature at the handle is not higher than body temperature. It can be used seamlessly by multiple people at home blowing hair continuously.
The last hair dryer has a better visual interaction in operation. There are also three-color ring prompts on the body that are clear at a glance when the air temperature is at different levels.
6. Noise comparison
turns on two wind speeds at normal temperature. The second model has the lowest noise at the first wind speed, and the fourth model has the lowest noise at the second wind speed.
Overall, the noise at the first wind speed is significantly lower than the noise at the high wind speed. The fourth model can have such an excellent noise effect at a wind speed of 20m/s, which is beyond my expectation.
7. Cleaning and maintenance
Daily cleaning and maintenance of the hair dryer is not troublesome. Just don’t forget to clean the air inlet filter after long-term use.
There are three hair dryers with air inlets at the rear of the hair dryer. The first two models have rear protective covers that are easy to remove and can be removed and cleaned with just one twist. The third model requires a screwdriver to remove the rear protective cover.
is different from the first three models. The air inlet of this last hair dryer is at the bottom. The air inlet is an outer shield and an inner metal filter. The protective cover is magnetic and is easy to install and clean.
The finer the filter, the better it can prevent debris from being sucked into the hair dryer, and the more conducive it is to the long-term use of the hair dryer. The filters of the four hair dryers are actually much finer than those of the other models. The fourth model is not the same species as the first three in terms of design ideas.
8. Use experience
These four hair dryers, the first one does not have negative ion function, the second one has negative ion function reaching 100 million levels, the third one is equipped with Panasonic exclusive Nanoyi technology has negative ion function, and the fourth one has negative ion function reaching 200 million levels.
After using the overall experience, my wife and I agreed that the third and fourth hair dryers are relatively smoother after use, and the last one dries hair faster.
Comparison summary
The above comparison is summarized in the table below, hoping to give a reference to friends who are buying hair dryers:
In my opinion, personal protective appliances such as hair dryers must be carefully selected to find the one that suits you. Hair dryers with high wind speed, low noise, and easy cleaning and maintenance can greatly improve the happiness of life.
If you are looking for cheap, then choose the first Feike FH6232. The event price of is only 89 yuan, and you can take home a 2000W high-power hair dryer. What else do you need for a bicycle at this price?
If you pursue high speed, then choose the fourth Leifen SE. is a hair dryer equipped with a 105,000 rpm ultra-high-speed brushless motor. Its performance far exceeds that of other hair dryers in the same price range. It has high wind speed, high temperature control accuracy, 200 million-level negative ion hair care, and the promotional price is only 399 yuan.
Choosing a hair dryer that suits you can better maintain your hair, protect your hairline, and make up for it when hair loss is not serious. It’s not too late. After all, nowadays the cost of hair transplant is not unusually high at 40,000 yuan per head. Taking good care of your original hair will save you 10,000 yuan in assets. Don’t let expensive hair transplantation become the most expensive piece of clothing.
hopes that everyone can take good care of their hair, have refreshing hairstyles every day, and have a good mood every day.
