How to choose and use
When choosing a professional hair dryer model, be sure to pay attention to such characteristics.
- Case material and parts. The requirements for heat resistance, strength and shock resistance are high, because a professional hair dryer is designed for frequent and prolonged use.
- Shape and number of nozzles. Removable elements (nozzles) should be narrowed, beveled at the end, securely fixed on the nozzle and quite easily removed if it is necessary to change parts.
- The back of the hair dryer should be closed with a removable cover - for inspection and cleaning of the inside of the device from protracted litter, hair and dust.
- The power of the device. It is believed that the lower limit of the necessary power of the hairdryer passes at around 2 kW.
- A very important function is the ionization of the exhaust air stream., because its presence allows you to more carefully dry your hair, and also facilitates styling.
- The power cord should be long enoughto provide the hairdresser with freedom of movement around the client. A length of more than 2 meters is considered sufficient.
- The presence of several heating modes and the ability to adjust the speed of the outgoing air flow.
- Ceramic heating element. Home models typically use metal heaters, which are often guilty of overdrying hair.
When using the device, be sure to observe the safety rules: do not turn on the faulty device, do not drop it on hard surfaces (floor), monitor the integrity of the power cord, etc.
Reviews
The reaction of users to Harizma Professional products is almost completely positive, which is even rather strange these days. Buyers are satisfied with the inexpensive price, power and equipment, stylish design, as well as ease of use (ergonomic handle shape, ease of switching modes). Among the negative points - the hair dryers-brushes marked the ability to suck hair into the inlet of the air filter.
Professionals advise replacing the mesh on the hole with a denser one, and this nuisance is eliminated. So, perhaps, the domestic manufacturer can make quite worthy competition to foreign analogues.
