Hooded Hairdryers

Tips for choosing your Hooded Hair Dryer.

A hooded hair dryer or a bonnet hair dryer will enhance your hair styling experience in the home.

A quality hooded hair dryer replicates your salon experience.  Hooded Hair dryers are either hard hat type or bonnet type.

Indeed it is worth noting what your professional stylist uses, are you comfortable whilst the bonnet hair dryer is in use, does it work well with your rollers, does it dry all your hair?.

For thermal styling, look for a hair dryer that is lightweight and offers several heat settings and air flow options. A cool shot button is a very nice feature for setting curls or volume styling.

Ensure your bonnet hair dryer has  a removable lint filter and ensure it is cleaned regularly. This will  extend the life of your hooded hair dryer. .
A hooded hair dryer should be 1800 watt and it should generates sufficient heat and air needed to perform to your satisfaction.

The hair dryer should be height adjustable if a free standing unit , it should also have some means of height
adjustment if it is a wall mounted hair dryer, the same applies to a counter to mounted hair dryer….

Quite often a bonnet type hairdryer may need to be mobile, this is especially true where it is used with an elderly person. It means that the hair can be maintained in their own environment, without the need to visit a hair stylists premises.

Portable hair dryers in the Bonnet  style need to create a great volume of warm air that surrounds the head from top to bottom. The hair dryer needs to be relatively  quiet and the stand needs to be adjustable. A portable hooded hair dryer needs to be compact no bigger then a hat box when in transport mode. Some people would say these type of portable hair dryer to be  ‘salon quality’. This obviously means that your hair dryer has loads of adjustments to suit all hair and head types. Portable hooded hair dryers are usually of the soft bonnet type for ease of transport.

If you use very large rollers  ensure the  bonnet on the hair dryer is large enough and that the settings will facilitate this.
A regular complaint about hard hat type hair dryers, is that the do not uniformly dry the hair. Ensure that your bonnet hair dryer has adequate air vents and multiple temperature settings. When choosing your hooded hair dryer keep in mind that it is a bit like buying a hat, it has to fit comfortably around your head and you are happy wearing it.
