هل مجفف الشعر سيء لشعرك؟

Let me first say the conclusion: hair dryers can indeed damage your hair. To understand the reason behind this, we need to first understand the microscopic structure of hair.

Under a microscope, the hair is divided into the medulla, cortex and cuticle from the center to the periphery. The cuticle is actually a layer of epidermal cells, which covers the surface of the hair like a small armor, forming a protective barrier, which can prevent the loss of protein and water inside the hair, maintain the health and strength of the hair; it can also reduce the friction between the hair and the external environment, reduce hair damage, breakage and split ends.

The hair scales have a characteristic that they are closed when dry, but open when exposed to water. When we wash our hair and the hair is still wet, we use a hair dryer to blow hot air over the surface of the hair scales, which will open the scales wider. At this time, the moisture inside the hair will be taken away by the hot air faster, causing the hair to lose water and become dry over time.

Generally speaking, the main reason why hair dryers damage hair is that the temperature is too high.

How To Use Hair Dryer Correctly​

Wipe Away Excess Water

Before blow-drying your hair, use a towel to absorb as much excess water as possible from your hair. Be careful not to rub it vigorously, but use pressure to dry it to avoid damaging the hair scales.

Blow-Dry In Layers

Blow-dry the outer layers of hair first, then the inner layers. This will ensure that each layer of hair is dried evenly and avoid repeatedly drying the same section, which will cause heat buildup and damage the hair.

Blow Dry The Roots First

The correct order for blow-drying the hair is to blow the roots of the hair first and then the ends of the hair. This is because after the roots of the hair are dry, the overall drying speed of the hair will be accelerated. If you blow the ends of the hair first, the roots of the hair will keep dripping, causing the overall drying time to be prolonged.

Combination of Hot And Cold Air

Try to avoid using the hot air setting and high wind speed of the hair dryer to dry your hair. You can combine hot and cold air, and it is best to keep the hair dryer 10-15 cm away from the roots of the hair, following the principle of “the wind should not burn the skin”.

Can Negative Ion Hair Dryers Make Hair Smoother?

Negative ion hair dryers can make hair smoother and even repair damaged hair. Is this true?

Negative ion hair dryers can indeed make hair look smoother. Hair is prone to positive charge when dry, and more static electricity will be generated when rubbed, causing the hair to “flash”. The negative ions in the wind from the hair dryer can neutralize the positive charge on the hair, making it less likely to “flash”, so the overall look will be smoother.

In addition, negative ion hair dryers are usually equipped with constant temperature control and negative ion cold air function, which can maintain a constant temperature while drying hair and reduce the damage of high temperature to hair.

How To Choose A Hair Dryer​

Choose the Right Gear

Try to choose a hair dryer with high and low temperature settings. Buyers with a higher budget can also buy a hair dryer with intelligent temperature control function, which can better avoid high temperature damage to hair.

Choose the Right Power

Household hair dryers usually range from 600 watts to 1300 watts, which are suitable for home use and can meet daily hair drying and styling needs. Under the same usage time, the higher the power of the hair dryer, the greater the power consumption.

Choose the Right Speed

The speed of an ordinary hair dryer is usually between 8000 and 12000 revolutions per minute, while the speed of a high-speed hair dryer can reach 13000 to 15000 revolutions per minute. A high-speed hair dryer can quickly dry hair through strong wind force, which can reduce the damage of high temperature to hair scales.

Be Aware of Noise

According to the World Health Organization, the recommended safe listening time for using a hair dryer is about 20 minutes per week. This safe listening time is based on the volume of the hair dryer at 100 decibels, but if the volume of the hair dryer is lower, the hearing damage caused will also be lower.
