What To Look For In A Round Brush For Hair Drying

Bristle Type 

Round brushes with boar bristles are densely packed and excellent for distributing your hair’s natural oils throughout your strands for lustre and shine. The bristles stimulate blood flow and can also give your scalp an enjoyable massage. Boar bristles are tough making them ideal for those with long and thick hair.

Boar bristles tend to be more expensive compared to nylon brushes. The [easyazon_link identifier=”B003LSEQPI” locale=”US” tag=”shophairdryers-20″]Spornette N.314 Deville[/easyazon_link] is an example of a round bristle brush.

Brushes with nylon brushes are excellent for fragile and damaged hair because they are gentle and won’t tug at strands. The [easyazon_link identifier=”B003O4HYWG” locale=”US” tag=”shophairdryers-20″]Spornette Double Stranded XL[/easyazon_link] is an example of a nylon round brush.

Round Brush Technology

Ceramic brushes distribute heat evenly allowing for a faster blow dry session which means your hair will be exposed to less heat.

Tourmaline dryers increases the negative ions produced by your blow dryer for healthier, shinier hair.

Vented – A vented round brush has vented opening which allows the blow dryer’s heat to heat the hair for a faster blowout.

We all love how sexy and tousled our hair looks after a day at the beach….  messy beachy hair is the epitome of summer hair and we break down exactly how to achieve it. We asked beauty editor JC to share her best tips for creating the ultimate beach waves.

Achieve Sunkissed Beachy Locks With Balayage

Ideally beachy hair should look like it’s sunkissed and starts darker at the roots graduating to lighter tips. This doesn’t necessarily mean dip dyed or a super obvious ombre… just natural highlights where the sun would hit with lighter ends. Golden hues and ashier tones can be equally flattering depending on your skin tone.

Curl Your Hair

It’s not an exact science so feel free to use any curling iron you have; [easyazon_link identifier=”B00176F2BS” locale=”US” tag=”shophairdryers-20″]big barrel curling irons[/easyazon_link] are great as well as [easyazon_link keywords=”curling wand” locale=”US” tag=”shophairdryers-20″]curling wand[/easyazon_link]. It’s generally a good idea to curl away from the face but remember that it doesn’t have to be precise. Beachy hair is messy and imperfect.

Mess Up Your Curls

Once your curls are set mess them up! You can use your fingers but if you’ve created tighter curls you may want to comb them through with a comb and continue to run your fingers through your hair to loosen the curls.

[easyazon_image align=”right” height=”160″ identifier=”B00TZ0463S” locale=”US” src=”http://www.shophairdryers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/41lmV6nolOL.SL160.jpg” tag=”shophairdryers-20″ width=”160″]Use Sea Salt or a Texturizing Spray

Sea salt sprays are great at achieving the ultimate messy beachy hair. Just spritz in your curled locks and tousle and shake it out. The only disadvantage with sea salts is that they can dry out your hair if used long term. Another option is to use a texturizing spray; just tousle your curls till they are loose and spray a bit of texturizing spray and sort of rub your hair together with your fingers in order to create that organic texture.

One we really like is [easyazon_link identifier=”B003NXM9HS” locale=”US” tag=”shophairdryers-20″]Oribe Texturizing Spray[/easyazon_link] and for a more affordable spritz we love [easyazon_link identifier=”B00TZ0463S” locale=”US” tag=”shophairdryers-20″]Not Your Mother’s Double Take[/easyazon_link].

And there you have it, sexy Victoria’s Secret style bombshell beach waves that you can wear all summer and year long. Remember that this style looks even for the next few days; just use a dry shampoo like Oscar Bland Pronto in order to absorb excess oil and you’re set!

Tired from holding the blow dryer hair with one hand while using the other to maneuver the brush through your hair to achieve the perfect blowout? Now you can finally free your hands for easy styling with this flexible hair dryer stand that can bend to any angle. It’s adjustable from 27″ to 39″ and can be used on the floor or even counter top. A velcro strap is included to secure odd sized dryers.

One of the most important aspects of achieving a great blowout is pulling the hair tight with the brush in order to achieve that perfect salon style. This can be rather difficult and cumbersome while having to hold the dryer and partly the reason why some of us don’t achieve the same blowout results at home that we do at the salon. The hair dryer stand solves the problem by holding the dryer for you.

This hair dryer stand is well suited for those who want to achieve the perfect blowout. It’s also a good match for those who can’t hold a dryer for prolonged periods of time due to injury

Want to give yourself a salon style blowout like your hair stylist does? A great blowout can last several days and look even better the next day. Read on to find how how to blow dry your hair at home.

Towel Dry Hair & Apply Product Before Hair Drying

Ever notice how your stylist always takes a long time to carefully towel dry your hair? Getting rid of excess moisture with a towel can help make drying time much faster. After gently squeezing excess water out of your hair take a towel and continue drying your hair until all the excess water is gone. Apply your desired styling product or hair treatment on damp hair. I don’t use any styling products so all I do is apply a bit of [easyazon_link identifier=”B001U9M2EW” locale=”US” tag=”shophairdryers-20″]Agadir oil[/easyazon_link]. It’s similar to Moroccan oil but any hair oil will do.

How To Blow Dry Your Hair For Volume

Some people like to divide their hair into sections first but I find it more efficient to blow dry all over and blow dry with a round brush once the hair is halfway dry in order to eliminate drying time. Aim the nozzle at the roots for extra volume. If you have fine, thin hair and want extra volume you may also flip your hair upside down and blow dry it that way for more volume. If you have thick or coarse hair, pick a powerful dryer with a strong motor such as those from Babyliss, T3 or Sedu.

How To Blow Dry Your Hair If You Have Curls

If you have curly or wavy hair look for a hair dryer with a diffuser. Most blow dryers are compatible with universal diffusers. A diffuser will dry your curls gently and leave them frizz and tangle free.

Divide & Conquer

Once your hair is halfway dry separate it into sections; the number of sections depends on the thickness of your hair. The brush that you choose makes a big difference. Many stylist prefer to use a mixed bristle brush like [easyazon_link identifier=”B00011QVHO” locale=”US” tag=”shophairdryers-20″]Spornette[/easyazon_link]. The key to a salon style blowout is to pull the hair extremely tight throughout the brush as you blow dry it. You may blow dry it with a slight flip towards the end for a wave. Some may prefer to blow dry with the curl facing away from the face for a sexy voluminous look.

Concentrate

Not just on blow drying your hair but use a concentrator. A concentrator is a must for that smooth perfect salon blowout look. If you don’t use one the airflow will just go everywhere without rhyme or reason resulting in messier hair (which can be fabulous too if that’s the look you’re going for). If your goal is to get smooth locks you may want to use a concentrator for the desired effect.

Seal It With The “Cool Shot’ button

Once you get a section curled or as straight as you like, hit it with a blast of the “cool shot” button from your dryer to lock in the style.

Styling Products

A product that I really like to use after blow drying my hair is just a very small amount of [easyazon_link identifier=”B000BIZSUS” locale=”US” tag=”shophairdryers-20″]Bumble & Bumble Brilliantine[/easyazon_link]. It smells divine (like roses) and somehow manages to make your hair look even better without any stiffness. You can use any other products such as hairspray or a shine spray as desired.

The Day After

The great thing about a great blowout is the fact that it can last for days and days. I highly recommend using a  dry shampoo the days after in order to get rid of oil and add even more volume to your hair.  Washing your hair every day isn’t good for your hair (dries out your hair). One that I recommend is [easyazon_link identifier=”B000XYPNMS” locale=”US” tag=”shophairdryers-20″]Oscar Blandi Pronto[/easyazon_link]; it’s a white powder that smells like lemons. I have black hair and it doesn’t show at all after it’s rubbed in.

Professional hair dryers aren’t just for salon use but also suitable for those who want pro results from the comfort of their own home. As long as you master proper blow drying techniques, it is possible to achieve salon results at home with a bit of practice.

Stylists depend on their blow dryers to achieve the perfect blowout client after client, year after year. Notice how your hair always looks super healthy and shiny after a great blowout at the salon? It’s mainly due to the technique used during the blowout but the hair dryer itself makes a huge difference as well.

In order to find the best professional hair dryer we evaluated blower dryer weight (for ergonomics), wattage, motor durability and features.

The Solano Forza Hair Dryer

The Solano Forza came on top thanks to its relatively light weight, 2000 watts of power and long-life motor.

2000 watts of power ensures  that a stylist will be able to style thick and coarse hair with ease. The extra long-life motor ensures that the dryer will work every time, client after client. Solano Forza hair dryer features include numerous temperature and speed settings which ensure that it will work on different types of hair. An added bonus is the extra long cord allowing the stylist more freedom when it comes to styling from different angles.

What Makes  Solano Forza The Best Professional Hair Dryer 

One of the best professional hair dryers most trusted by stylists across the world in the Solano Forza. This professional dryer is designed for high performance. 3 temperature settings and 2 speeds are available making this dryer suitable for all types of hair.

Infrared heat is used to dry the hair from inside out for healthier looking hair. The super high velocity motor provides an intense airflow meaning you’ll spend less time drying. The latest tourmaline, ceramic and infrared heat technology is used in order to maximize shine and smooth hair.

What Reviewers Had To Say About The Solano Forza Hair Dryer

Users have noted that the Solano Forza gets very hot and is extremely powerful. One user found that her drying time was cut in half but warned not to hold the dryer in one place for too long since it can get extremely hot. Shinier hair was also noticed as a byproduct of styling with the Solano Forza hair dryer. Users especially liked the cold shot button since the air emitted was extremely cold regardless of whether the previous heat setting was on hot.

Despite it’s drying capabilities it’s on the quiet side. Two concentrators are included with the dryer.

What To Look For In A Professional Hair Dryer

Here are a few things to consider when buying a professional hair dryer.

Hair Dryer Weight

Stylists give clients blow out after blow out all day long. A lighter blow dryer is more ergonomic and ensures that your hands won’t get tired. A light dryer is a must for use in a professional salon. Anything around 1 lb or lighter is considered light weight.

Wattage

A dryer with a higher wattage will provide stylists with more versatility when it comes to styling. This is important as stylists deal with clients with a wide variety of textures, lengths and manageability. High temperature settings will be needed to straighten hair that is naturally curly or wavy. High heat may also be needed to dry thick and coarse hair efficiently.

Noise Levels

Hair salons are generally pretty noisy to begin with and it can get out of control pretty fast with multiple stylists giving clients blow outs at the same time. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can also damaging to the ears for professionals who are exposed to loud dryers on a daily basis. Read our post about finding a quiet blow dryer here. Pick a hair dryer with a low volume output in order to keep noise levels under control.

Ionic

An ionic setting is a must on a professional hair dryers. Ionic blow dryers can speed up the drying process by as much as 70% and make hair look shinier and healthier. Negatively charged ions help to evaporate hair during the drying process in order to minimize damage.
