Professional Hair Dryers
Have you ever wondered what the difference was in department store hair dryers and professional hair dryers that salon’s use? Well, in a word….it’s the motor. Salon professional hair dryers require a much bigger and more powerful motor because of all the uses the hair dryer gives out every day. That’s one reason why they can also be a lot more expensive than the average blow dryer at your local Walmart. But, do we as consumers need a high quality more powerful motor in our blow dryers when it’s only used for us? I guess that depends on you and how often you like to replace your inexpensive blow dryer.
The problem with most department store hair dryers and the reason they are so inexpensive is because, first of all, it’s made with very cheap parts, and second, the motor is relatively of poor quality which lowers the value and the performance of the dryer. So, basically you need to determine what your budget is for a new hair dryer and make a decision as to which product would suit you best based on your specific needs.
There are actually quite a few inexpensive yet high quality professional hair dryers out there on the market today. You don’t have to spend a fortune to get a higher quality motor and longer-lasting dryer. Just as an example, I have a Conair Ion Shine professional hair dryer (I wonder if they still make these) that I purchased well over 10 years ago and that baby is still going strong. It looks worn and battered but it is still just as powerful as it was the day I bought it. I’ve actually bought some cheaper models in between because this dryer is a lot heavier and bulkier to travel with, but I can’t tell you how many times the other cheap brands burned out. It’s been at least 6 years since I stopped getting the cheaper dryers and decided to just deal with the size and the heaviness of professional hair dryers. I’m very used to that now. I think at the time, I paid about $24.95 for this dryer. Now that’s what I call a great investment, don’t you think?

Well, as you can see, I am quite partial to the Conair hair dryer and they do make some very good professional hair dryers on the market for very reasonable prices. There’s no need to shop at any of those fancy beauty supply stores where you would have to give your first newborn child to. Amazon.com always has some great deals and boy, do they ship professional hair dryers and anything else you might want, fast.
