Power/temperature control
—
Joint. In models with joint adjustment of power and “degree” of air flow, the parameters change at the touch of a button. Hair dryers usually have several fixed values of blowing intensity and air temperature.
—
Separate. Separate heat and temperature controls give you more freedom of choice when using your hair dryer and styler. The parameters of the flow force and temperature for hair dryers with separate adjustments change separately, which allows you to count on the optimal values of power and “degree” of blowing to avoid overdrying your hair.
Functions
—
Turbo mode. A mode designed to dry wet hair as quickly as possible. At the same time, the speed of air movement through the hair dryer increases significantly, and the temperature remains the same. This allows you to quickly dry your hair without exposing it to high temperatures. Working in turbo mode usually involves an increased load on the device, so before using such a hair dryer, you should separately clarify in the instructions for what maximum time you can turn on turbo mode.
—
Auto-rotation of the nozzle. The function of automatic rotation of a brush or other round nozzle (see "Nozzles"). Thus, the user gets rid of the need to turn the entire device when styling hair, which may not be very convenient. Note that with long hair this function should be used very carefully, as there is a risk of entangling them instead of styling.
—
Cold air. The ability of the hair dryer to work without the use of a heating element — when the air flow has the same temperature as the surrounding air. This mode will be useful for drying weakened hair, especially sensitive to overheating. In addition, it can be useful during styling — in particular, cold air “fixes” the finished hairstyle.
—
Ionization. An ionizer is a device for saturating the air with negatively charged oxygen ions. Optimizes styling, giving h
...air new positive properties — for example, increased smoothness. Also, the hair is not electrified thanks to the ionizer.
— Steam humidifier. Some hair styling devices may be equipped with a container for liquid and a device that delivers hot steam to the hair. In this case, both ordinary water and a special styling liquid can be used. It is believed that the use of steam greatly facilitates the styling process, as the hair becomes more manageable. On the other hand, the high temperature of the steam can adversely affect the health of the hair, especially if the hair is weak or steam styling is used frequently.
— Alert timer. Devices with a built-in timer that makes audio signal after a set time. This function is relevant in stylers and curling irons, which allows the same time to curl curls. As a result, the hairstyle will have the same curls — there will be no imbalance in the curls when one turned out more and the other less.
— Automatic switch-off. A mechanism that ensures that the device turns off either after a specified period of time, or when a predetermined (or manufacturer-defined) temperature is reached. Prevents excessive heating of nozzles/plates, as well as overheating of the device in general.
— Key lock. The presence of a protective function of blocking the buttons allows you to avoid accidental pressing in the process of working with the device.Removable grille
The ability to remove the protective grille of the hair dryer without special tools and skills, by the user himself.
The grill serves as a protective cover for the air intake of the hair dryer, located on its back side. It plays a crucial role in safeguarding the fan and heating element from foreign objects and preventing direct contact with the blades or heated coil, ensuring user safety. Additionally, the grill can accommodate an extra air purification filter, benefiting both the user and the device's internal components.
The removable design of the grill greatly simplifies maintenance and repair tasks. Users can easily clean the grill and internal elements from dust and contaminants, replace or clean the filter, and fix minor issues. However, for more complex repair work, it is advisable to seek assistance from specialists.
