We use hairdryers a lot in our daily routine; we take shower, wash our hair, pick up the hairdryer, flip the switch, hot air comes out of it to dry our hair quickly and then we move on with our work. Hairdryers are delicate and should be handled with care. Their proper maintenance is necessary if you want to increase the life of your hairdryer and save money not having to buy a new one.

Most hairdryers allow you to regulate the heat. The hotter the heating element gets the hotter air it will push thought it. There are various parts of hairdryers like nichrome wire, heating element, blowing unit etc. that should be taken care of.

Solid maintenance of hair dryers is a must if you want to extend their lifetime. Your hairdryer can benefit a lot from maintenance. The motor is most vital part of your hairdryer and you should give extra care to it. It only takes a few minutes to lubricate the motor of your hairdryer but doing so will add years to it’s life.

Before lubricating the motor of your hairdryer, you should unplug the hairdryer first and then you should remove all the screws. Once you have removed the outer casing, make sure that you have loosened all the screws otherwise, the casing may break due to pressure tension. Once you have opened the casing then you should clear all the dust and debris you find in the interior of the hairdryer. To clear the dust and debris form the surface, you can use an old toothbrush. You can also use a can filled with compressed air to clear the dust and loosen the debris. Another alternative is to use a vacuum cleaner with crevice attachment. It will suck all of the loosened debris making the surface dust free. Then slowly remove the motor shaft and expose the motor. Lift it and take it out. Then apply few drops of oil on the bushings, which are there at each end. You can use any household oil or machine oil. Use a toothpick to apply some oil over it. Once you are done, just replace the entire thing and your hairdryer will be again ready to use.

Apart from motor, another very important part of hairdryer is the nichrome wire. Though it does not oxidize or rust but still it is recommended that you should keep it dry as far as possible as it poses the risk of short circuit.

The number one problem with modern hairdryers is by far burnt out motors. Luckily the solution is quite easy. Most of the hairdryers that are available in the market these days use a washable filter that can be easily removed and cleaned with a brush. There are other hairdryer units which may require the replacement of filter. Whatever the case, the filter should be cleaned and changed regularly. Change the filter accordingly to how much you use your hairdryer. Don’t forget to keep proper and regular maintenance of your hairdryer and take care of your investment at the same time.

Remember the old adage” only a bad carpenter blames his tools?”. In the case of hairstyling the right tools really can make a difference. Having a great hairdryer can certainly go a long way towards making every day a good hair day.

How do you choose the right hairdryer for you though, when there are so many different brands and models available? A few helpful hints;

Wattage : The wattage of the hairdryer you choose is important. The higher the wattage, the more powerful and effective the hairdyer will be. Trying to dry your hair with a low wattage hairdryer can double your styling time. Look for a hairdryer that has at least 1700 watts of power. If you are blessed with particularly thick hair a hairdryer with at least 1900 watts will give the quickest drying time.

Hair Type : What type of hair you have should also be takern into consideration when purchasing a hairdryrer. If you have curly hair you will need a dryer with a good diffuser attachment to produce frizz free results, and those with thinner hair may want to look for a good brush attachment to help build volume.

If you rely upon a hairdryer to straighten your curly hair the best choice is a hairdryer with ceramic technology. A ceramic heating element gives of a more even and more powerful heat to help straighten the hair efficiently. If you can find a hairdryer with both ceramic and tourmaline technology. The negative ion emitting crystals found in tourmaline promote sleek, shiny hair. You will also need a good nozzle attachment that can focus the airstream directly where you need it.

Speed : A hairdryer that has a number of different speeds and various heat settings is always a good bet. This allows you to use the higher settings to quickly remove the majority of the moisture from your hair, then switch to a low setting for precise final styling. A cool shot button, which makes the hairdryer only emit cold air, is a hairdressing trick for helping a finished style stay in place.

If you have colored or damaged hair you should avoid very high hairdryer settings. To avoid further damage this kind of hair should really be dried using the lowest heat setting possible.
Weight: A hairdryer’s overall weight might have to be a consideration. If you have short hair that dries in minutes it is probably not an issue, but if you have longer hair, or a complicated style, holding on to a heavy hairdryer for too long may be painful and annoying.

Price : Price is of course always a factor in any purchasing decision. You can probably find a hairdryer for under $15 in some stores but chances are it won’t last long or be very powerful. The high end models tend to have all manner of bells and whistles, some of which you personally may not really need. Ceramic and tourmaline hairdryers are usually more expensive than other kinds of hairdryers but if you use a hairdryer on a daily basis they are well worth the investment. A good one can be found for well under $100.

Portability : If you travel a lot or have to style your hair away from home a lot you will obviously want a smaller hairdryer. There are a number of good travel dryers on the market. They are not as powerful as their bigger cousins but many are more than adequate for producing a great hairstyle on the go.

Hairdryers utilizing infrared techniques have become very popular over the last few years. These kinds of hairdryers impart heat in a different way to traditional hairdryers, and the manufacturers of these hairdryers claim that the technology they used produces shinier, sleeker hair than traditional hairdryers and many top hairstylists agree.

The infrared technology emits heat that is the same temperature as the human body, but actually still dries hair as quickly as a regular “blower” hairdryer. Many also feel that it helps prevent split ends and helps hair hold onto more natural moisture. Less heat certainly causes less damage, and most of those people who regularly use hair dryers that employ infrared technology feel that they do achieve superior hairstyling results.

These infrared hairdryers also often feature other “technological advances” such as ceramic heating elements and tourmaline, a semi precious substance that emits negative ions.

The downside to these hairdryers is that they do cost more on average than a more traditional hairdryer, especially those that incorporate several hair drying techniques. However if you are buying a hairdryer that you intend to use on a daily basis, one of these kinds of hair dryers may be well worth the investment.

The actual prices of infrared hairdryers vary by manufacturer. Some of the best known brands include T3, Chi, Vidal Sasson and Clariol. The T3 dryers are usually the most expensive of all but are favorites of the professionals.
Infrared hairdryers usually have about the same useful life as traditional hairdryers although they do to not usually have as many problems with overheating as traditional hairdryers. Overheating is usually the cause of the eventual demise of a normal hairdryer, so this probably means that an infrared hairdryer may very well outlast its more traditional counterpart.
