What To Look For In A Good Blow Dryer

Not all blow dryers are created equal. A good blow dryer can make achieving a fabulous hairstyle a much easier endeavor. Here we’ll give you some hot tips on how to choose the best blow dryer for you.


Over weight blow dryers can be a pain in the arms. When choosing a blow dryer, especially if your style takes a while to blow out, a lighter model is definitely better. Wattage is another important factor to consider.


Look for a blow dryer with wattage of 1500 to 1875 in order to get enough air flow to dry your hair in a speedy fashion.


Different heat settings will also make styling your hair much easier. You’ll need a high setting to quickly remove excess moisture from the hair and a lower setting to switch to for more precise styling. A blow dryer with a cool shot button is a bonus because a shot of cool air will help set difficult styles such as flips or side swept bangs.

100% Human Hair

Hair used in top quality hair extensions and wigs comes from many parts of the world. Asian countries are the prime source of human hair because the hair is long, straight, strong, and not tampered with chemicals.

Manufacturers of quality hair extensions take real hair from individuals with long hair and process it into different textures, qualities, and colors. The finished product is smooth, soft, and has a silky texture. Top quality hair extensions are always made from 100% human hair.

Tame Thick Hair With The GHD Flat Iron

Thick hair can be difficult to tame. To get the smoothest hair possible use the GHD flat iron, designed specifically for thicker textured hair.

The GHD flat iron with its 1.75” wide plates will straighten larger sections of hair, making short work of straightening thicker heads of hair. The ceramic plates heat up in seconds and hold their temperature for even and consistent styling, while the negative ions emitted work to promote shiny and soft hair.

For shorter styles, use the GHD flat iron to create smooth, chic hair styles in minutes. Simply glide the plates through dry, detangled sections of hair and sculpt your tresses into any desired style. For a trendy look flip the ends of the hair up slightly and define those pieces with a styling wax afterwards. The subtle flips will give an edge to your style.

Hair Products: Deep Conditioning

Choose a hair care product that gives your hair some life. If your hair is dull and limp, treat yourself to a deep conditioning treatment. And, a final rinse with mineral or cold tap water will flatten the cuticles and boost shine. You can liven up your natural color with an all-over, semi-permanent tint that will coat and smooth the hair shaft and give your hair a glossy sheen.


*Quality hair products are crucial to avoiding bad hair days.

A Frizzy Hair Day

You wake up one morning, your hair is frizzy, and you need to fix it quickly. Want a quick fix? Take your brush and evenly spray the bristles with hair spray before brushing your hair (continue until hair is under control). This will give more weight to your hair to help flatten it and keep it the lasting hold you need.

*This is a good idea and it also works with spray conditioners sprayed lightly on the brush as well for those dry days when frizz takes over.

Bangs or Not

Many styles look good with just a soft and delicate look of bangs. If you are not sure that you want to cut bangs on a more permanent basis, don't do it on a whim (this is a big decision as it takes time to grow out).

Have your stylist etch out about 1/4 to a 1/2 inch section of bang across the forehead. Having this area feathered allows you to pull out these pieces when you need them and yet they are light enough to style back into the heavier hair when not needed.

Ceramic Hair Straightener

Are you considering purchasing a ceramic flat iron? Remember to look for one with ultra-smooth ceramic/tourmaline plates that offer smooth straightening motion and won't pull, snag, or breaking your hair.

If you're using a flat iron every day, pick one that's ergonomically designed to reduce the risk of developing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. You want perfect contact between your hair and the flat iron plates and even heat distribution. In other words, you want silky smooth, frizz-free hair.

Choosing a Complimentary Color

In general, as we age, our skin tone changes as well as the color of our hair. Even if we are not getting gray yet, our hair begins to lose some color. In order to pick a tint color that is becoming, it is best to go lighter as we get older.

Choosing a complimentary color isn't difficult—go lighter (this is more softening to the skin tone and less contrasting). Even on white hair, a very attractive effect is created by tinting the hair a very light blonde. This gives the effect of blonde hair, but does not look harsh or unnatural.

Hair Removal: Types of Hairs

Do you want the truth? Permanent hair removal is darn near impossible! Your body has three types of hair:

• Vellus (peach fuzz; tiny colorless hairs)
• Intermediate (thin, some pigmentation)
• Terminal (deep-rooted coarse hairs, either pigmented or gray)

The terminal hairs are usually the ones you want terminated. The amounts of each type of hair and their growth cycles vary among people, making it hard to compare hair removal results between you and others. Depending on the body area, from 20% to 85% of hairs are in the anlagen (growth) stage.

*Many hair removal methods are more effective on actively growing hair. Consequently, a single hair removal treatment cannot treat all your hairs.

Effects of Female Hair Loss

Hair loss can make women really crabby. Seriously though, hair loss in women is not uncommon, yet it's different than hair loss in men.

Women very rarely get bald spots. Instead, female hair loss is usually an overall thinning effect. Such hair loss can make hair styling challenging. More importantly, hair loss can make a woman feel less feminine and can cause depression and even anxiety, i.e., crabby.

If you are a woman suffering from hair loss, don't feel alone—you aren't. If you feel overly depressed it's a good idea to talk to a professional or to find a support group online.

Choosing a Wig

If you are looking for a wig to wear occasionally when you want a quick style change, there are many good synthetic, pre-styled wigs that offer good, natural looking styles.

If you have lost hair due to medical or genetic reasons, it is best to spend a bit more money and find one that is as close to your own hair color, thickness, and style as you can.

*Remember, don't be too drastic in change unless you are using your wig for a dramatic change.
