In this article we will talk about Braun models, their advantages and disadvantages, features of use and rules of choice.
Features
In a number of hair care devices, hair dryers are in a special place, because these accessories can perform the functions of a hair dryer, curling irons, and combs. According to the method of fixing nozzles distinguish hair dryers with a fixed and a rotating brush.
The difference between one type and the other is that in the first case, the round brush head is securely attached to the body, and to create curls you need to turn the hair dryer, twisting the hair around it. And in the second case, you only need to press the button, and the nozzle will turn itself.
Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages. Hair dryers with a fixed nozzle are more reliable and durable, but require some skill in use. Hair dryers with a rotating nozzle are convenient and easy to use. Even individuals who do not understand anything in hairdressing, with the help of such an accessory will easily make themselves a magical hairstyle.
But compared to the first type, such devices are more moody and prone to damage. Under the Braun brand, only hair dryers with fixed brushes are available.

Selection rules
When choosing a model of a hair dryer, be sure to pay attention to such indicators.
- Case material and individual elements. Of course, for a home hair dryer, these are not as important characteristics as for professional devices, but nevertheless, the life of your device depends on the quality of the source materials.
- Size and number of nozzles. Removable parts (nozzles) must be securely fixed to the body and easily removed if there is a need to change the brush. Also pay attention to the material of the bristles - they can be made of plastic, natural fibers or combine both of these materials.
- The power of the device. The more power, the faster and better the hair dryer dries hair. With short and thin hair, this criterion is not so important, but only if you are the owner of long, thick and heavy braids.
- Availability of additional features. A very important advantage is the presence of an ionizer, because ionization allows you to more carefully dry your hair, and also facilitates styling. The presence in the design of the steam generator also refers to the additional advantages of any model.
- The power cord should be long enoughto provide you with styling comfort. A length of two meters or more is considered convenient.
- The presence of several temperature conditions and the ability to adjust the speed of the outgoing air flow.
Usage Tips
Recall some important points from the instructions for use of the device.
- Never use the device near open water. It should not get moisture.
- Keep the hair dryer out of the reach of children and pets. Do not leave the appliance unattended or allow it to play. Do not allow persons with disabilities to use the hairdryer.
- Do not wind the power cord around the device. Of course, in this way you will save space for storing accessories, but at the same time reduce its service life. Microscopic kinks of metal wires arising from this storage method will soon lead to a breakdown and failure of the power cable.
- Do not attempt to repair the hair dryer yourself in case of breakage. Better trust the professionals.
Also do not forget about the individual characteristics of your hair when styling. So, advice to the owners of long and thick hair.
- After washing your hair, dry your hair slightly with a towel.
- To obtain a more stable and "springy" styling, you can apply mousse.
- Now you need to divide the hair into the upper and lower parts, while the “crown” strands pin hairpins (so as not to interfere).
- If you took a brush head with a larger diameter, then separate the strand for drying and styling more. Comb it lightly and wind it onto a hairdryer. Wait for the hair to dry completely and carefully release the hair dryer from the wound curl. To get the effect of natural curling, twist one strand towards the face, and the next - vice versa.
- After you dry and lay all the loose strands, loosen the chopped hair and do the same actions with them as with the lower ones.
- Combing your hair after styling is not recommended.
If your hair is medium in length, follow these guidelines.
- To create small curls, use a narrow nozzle in the same way as described above.
- To round the ends of the hairstyle and create additional volume, you will need a larger brush head. Dry wet hair from the back of the head. It is important to start from the very roots, pressing the curls to the bristles. After laying the back of the head, begin to move to the temples, first on one side, then on the other. After drying the upper strands at the roots, slightly extend and wind only the ends of the strands.
If you have a caret, then for styling it will be necessary to stab the crown strands, first place the occipital part (as recommended for owners of medium hair) and side strands, and then, after releasing the fixed hair, dry and style them in the same way. Owners of boyish, very short haircuts seem to have no need for a hair brush, but even here you can experiment. Of course, only a very small nozzle is useful here. Go ahead, create, and the Braun hair dryer will be your indispensable assistant!
