Travel Hair Dryers Buying Guide<\/h3>\n

\"\" What to look for when buying the best hair dryer for travel? <\/strong>Most people when looking to buy a\u00a0travel hair dryer<\/strong>\u00a0tend to limit their search for small and compact units. Size is an important factor as you always have limited space in your baggage, however it shouldn\u2019t be the only thing you look for. Travellers need to ensure that any blow dryer they buy will work in all the countries they are visiting. Plug types and voltage vary across the globe so this needs to be considered to ensure it actually works when you plug it into the wall. Some hair dryers will adjust the voltage automatically or you can rely on one the many types of separate\u00a0travel power adapters<\/a>\u00a0available. In the next section we look at the key features you need to consider when choosing the correct travel hair dryer for your needs. When searching through the various hair dryer models available to buy online you need to answer the following questions.<\/p>\n

What size hair dryer do you need? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Picking the smallest\u00a0Hair Dryer<\/a>\u00a0you can find is not usually the best option. Look for\u00a0models that suit your travel style and destination As mentioned above the size of the hair dryer is an important consideration when travelling, however it can also depend on what type of traveler you are. If you stay in hotels and have heaps of baggage then you can usually fit in any size hair dryer without needing to look at compact models. Travelers who like to pack a little lighter or\u00a0backpack<\/a>\u00a0the globe as light as possible need to look for a compact unit that folds down and is easy to carry. Consider how much luggage you will have and where you are visiting when looking to make your purchase.<\/p>\n

Do you need varied settings for heat and speed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some of the cheaper and more compact travel hair dryers may not offer multiple speed and heat options, this is fine for some travelers and a nightmare for others. Multiple speed and heat setting help to prevent damage by allowing the user to reduce the speed and heat based on their hair type. Sometimes just having a diffuser will help by spreading the airflow. Again the requirement for multiple speed and heat settings can be up to your own personal preferences and hair length and type. Make you you consider the best travel hair dryer that is most suitable to you. Some hair dryers offer users a wide variety of controls, while others try to keep it simple. For example, many feature a cool blast button for applying cool air to finish styles. Still others offer separate dials or switches for heat and speed. Users that like to switch up their hairstyles often will prefer more versatile models, while those who generally stick with a more tried and true hairstyle will prefer the simpler operation of devices with fewer options.<\/p>\n

Power – <\/strong>More power means that hair will be dried more quickly. However, some users prefer lower power because lower speed and heat are less likely to disturb intricate styles, or for environmental or economic reasons.<\/p>\n

What is the voltage compatibility of your destination?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyone who has traveled abroad will know that the standard voltage for electricity in hotels and homes changes from place to place based on a variety of factors. Hair dryers that are designed for only one voltage simply won\u2019t do for international travel, but for those who prefer to travel domestically, the savings when buying a single-voltage hair dryer may be worth the sacrifice. In addition, there are plenty of voltage adapter kits out there to be had at a variety of price points and levels of quality and special features. Even if you do end up with a hair dryer that is compatible with multiple voltages, having one of these kits is never a bad idea, because you never know what else you might need to power in a foreign land with foreign electrical outlets.<\/p>\n

H<\/strong>ow much are you willing to spend?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most people automatically assume that the more you pay the better you get. Sometimes cheap means that the items is manufactured using poor materials, in a low quality factory with little to no quality control. Items like this are usually easy to spot and should be avoided as they can be extremely unsafe and in the case of hair dryers lead to injury or potential fire. That said not all low price items fall into that category, sometimes you can get really good quality at a bargain price. Shop around and look for models that may have just been upgrading which means they are potentially on sale.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n
You can get really good quality travel hair dryers at a bargain price by shopping around various online stores.\u00a0<\/strong>Visit Amazon for some great bargains on travel hair dryers.<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Like most items, hair Dryers can range in price from extremely cheap to ridiculously expensive depending on the brand and sometimes marketing campaign use to sell it to you. If you are a regular traveler then maybe your budget can stretch a little further as you will be using your hair dryer on a daily basis. You need to ensure that the model you buy will last the distance.\u00a0Make sure you consider your budget when choosing your next travel hair dryer and also consider the frequency of use. Buying a good hair dryer is never easy, especially when it\u2019s for a specialized use such as traveling. By considering a few key points and questions, though, virtually anyone can be sure to get a hair dryer that suits their own personal tastes. There are a few key areas where hair dryer manufacturers seek to differentiate their products from one another. Determining which of these areas matters most to you personally and learning a bit about each one can help you make the right decision for you.<\/p>\n

What attachments do you need?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are a regular user of hair dryers then you know the various attachments that are available, this is no different for travel hair dryers. You just need to make the decision which attachments you desperately need and which one you can live without while on vacation, each attachment adds a little bit more weight and space to your baggage. Do you really need your diffuser for a weekend away? What about 4 weeks?<\/p>\n

Do you need frizz control? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Because artificially drying hair can provoke frizz, many hair dryers have created and utilized a variety of technologies to prevent this from occurring. These include ionic technology and ceramic coatings, among other things. While most hair dryers have at least some anti-frizz feature, the level and variety of features vary widely. If you dry your hair every day, or if you have naturally curly or chemically treated hair, additional anti-frizz precautions may help keep you looking your best.<\/p>\n

Make sure you consider safety and durability<\/strong><\/p>\n

All travel hair dryers consume a high amount of energy making them\u00a0a potential risk of catching fire. Look for only quality manufacturers. Hair dryers consume large amounts of energy and create a lot of heat. It is extremely important to look for a good quality and well known manufacturers. As mentioned earlier cheaper models may pose the risk of catching on fire and\u00a0risking your health and safety.<\/p>\n

Look for folding Hair Dryers to save space –\u00a0<\/strong>If you like to pack light or if your bags are already full, a folding hair dryer can save the day. Some folding hair dryers also allow for a larger overall size and greater power while still taking up only a small amount of space in luggage. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
