The Best Hair Dryer for Thick Hair
1. Opt for a ceramic hair dryer.
Women with thick hair should keep an eye out for a ceramic hair dryer and prioritize this quality over all others. A ceramic hair dryer will help control the heat and distribute it more evenly. Your hair will dry more quickly and spend less time exposed to the heat. That means less damage and more time to work on your signature smoky eye.
2. Go for a high power dryer.
Experts suggest looking for a hair dryer that has a higher wattage for a more powerful air flow. Women with thicker hair should look for one that ranges from 1900 to 2000 watts.
3. Discern between necessities and bells and whistles.
As we’ve outlined above, there are some qualities that should be deal breakers when it comes to buying a hair dryer, and some that aren’t technically necessary. External nozzle attachments, for example, may not be completely necessary if you’re just looking for a quick way to get your hair dry. One non-negotiable element is a heat protectant spray to pair with your hair dryer. Even with a high wattage dryer and quick drying time you’re still exposing your hair to high heat and you need to protect your strands. We love Suave Professionals Luxe Style Infusion Volumizing Weightless Blow Dry Spray for a few reasons: It protects our strands, adds extra volume and we can pick it up at our favorite drugstores.
