When it comes to buying a hair dryer, you have the option of choosing a more expensive product that can significantly improve the health of your hair as well as enhance your experience with the functions of the hair dryer. By using a high quality product, you will reduce the chances of damage and breakage in your hair, making it stronger. Hair dryers are now equipped with many functions, but if you know which ones matter and which ones might be superfluous, you can choose a hair dryer that will become your reliable friend.
Steps
1 Choose a hair dryer with a ceramic heater over a metal or plastic one. Hair dryers with metal or plastic heating elements tend to blow out very hot air and dry the hair unevenly. Ceramic, on the other hand, is a material that has unique heat-conducting properties that ensure even drying of the hair. 
2 If possible, choose a hair dryer with ionization. Low-quality hair dryers, especially those with metal or plastic heating elements, spray positively charged ions, causing the hair cuticle to become dry and dull. Higher quality hair dryers spray negatively charged ions, so the cuticle does not release moisture and the hair dries less. In addition, ionization reduces the electrification of the hair. 
3 Choose a hair dryer with a tourmaline finish. Tourmaline coated ceramic heater creates softer and more even heat. This means the tourmaline ceramic won't damage your hair with harmful heat. Tourmaline has also been shown to produce large amounts of negatively charged ions that can dry your hair up to 70% faster than a hair dryer without tourmaline. 
4 Choose a hair dryer with a high power: it will dry your hair much faster. If the drying time does not matter to you, you can safely skip this characteristic. Professional hair dryers usually have a power of at least 1300 watts. 
5 Choose a hairdryer with several speed and temperature settings, as you need to choose the one that matches the condition of your hair. For example, if your hair is slightly damp, you will need to use a less hot air setting. If you are doing a certain styling, different speed settings may be useful to you. 
6 Choose a hairdryer that weighs less than 0.5 kg. Professional hair dryers are generally very lightweight because they are designed to be held and used all day. However, if you only use the hairdryer after showering, the lightweight appliance will be much more comfortable to use. Moreover, it will make it much easier for you to reach hard-to-reach places on your head, and, as a result, the heat will be more evenly distributed.

Warnings
- Regardless of the quality of the hair dryer, do not dry your hair for very long. Even the strongest and healthiest hair cannot withstand too long or frequent exposure to heat, as it can become brittle and brittle as a result.
