Bonnet Hair Dryers
Bonnet hair dryers are still very common in salons all over the world. Back in the 1950s and 1960s portable bonnet hair dryers were also very commonly used by women at home. This is less common these days, but there are still those ladies who prefer to use a bonnet dryer over all others.
A bonnet dryer is best for the kind of complicated styles that require the use of rollers or curlers. However well you curl hair with a curling iron, hairstyles that call for perfect curls that hold , whether tight or loose, can really only be achieved with the use of curlers, time and patience. That is where a bonnet dryer comes in. They can also be useful for your with relaxing treatments.
Salon bonnet hair dryers are usually rather large affairs fixed to an adjustable stand. The professional bonnet hair dryer has to have a large enough hood to accommodate someone wearing even the largest curlers, big not so big that they dry ineffectively. Modern bonnet hair dryers can be found with all the latest technology found in popular hand held professional hairdryers. Ionic, ceramic and tourmaline technologies are all available to the modern salon owner.
The home versions of a bonnet hair dryer are somewhat different. In appearance they have changed little from the days of poodle skirts and wide headbands. They are available in both a soft bonnet and hard bonnet versions. There are now home models coming onto the market that do feature the newer ionic technology, but they are of course far more expensive than their traditional counterparts. The soft bonnet is usually connected to the dryer itself via a tube, so movement is very much restricted. In home hard bonnet hair dryers usually have all the mechanical workings built into the bonnet itself, making it far more convenient for most people.
