Today the majority hair dryers available in the market have a number of features that look enticing and appealing to customers. If you really need strong, healthy hair that is not frayed or brittle, then you must get hold of quality hair dryers. Here are some of the features you should look for in a quality hair dryer.

The Heating Element:

Normally low-priced hair dryers utilize plastic or metal heating elements that burn with uneven and intense heat. They dry hair by boiling it off. However prolonged blow drying will make hair grow brittle and finally break.
High-end hair dryers work with ceramic heating. Instead of heating from outside, it penetrates the hair shaft safely. Ceramic can be infused with tourmaline or other elements. As a result, it produces a gentle heat meaning ceramic heating is safer.

Diffusers and Attachments: For creating more waves, choose a hair dryer with a diffuser attachment. A concentrator attachment directs air from the dryer to a targeted space and is useful for better control if you like to blow dry your hair straight using a brush.

Wattage: From one hair dryer to another, wattage varies. Wattage directly affects how fast your hair dries (higher watts = more time to sleep in the morning). Use a dryer with 1300 watts or above.

Ionic drying: Cheap hair dryers come with plastic or metal elements that spread positive ions that help eliminating small tight curls and dull appearance. Ionic hair dryers generate negatively charged ions that cause the cuticle to stay flat, trap moisture, get rid of frizz and give hair more body.
Since there are many types of blow dryers available, you should decide the one that best suits your drying and styling needs. Standard models make available various other features such as

Multiple heat settings, including a cool setting to help set curls or gel
Assorted attachments for different styling needs
Voltage adaptors suitable for travel
Safety sensors and fan cages
