CBS The Early Show Does a Great Piece on Buying The Right Hair Dryer

I recently had my blow dryer die on me one morning recently and I had to go shopping for a new blow dryer. I posted an article about my experience and wrote an article “Does your blow dryer create great hairstyles?” about my expereinces.

I really discovered that the options we have in blow dryers covers a lot of ground and was not an easy decision, even someone like me who is a professional hairstylist. So when I watched this video the today from the CBS Early show, I jumped at the chance to share it with all of you. It is a very well done piece done by David Evangelista one of my favorite in the celebrity hairstyles business. Even if you aren’t currently in the market it is well worth the watch it is full of useful tips for creating celebrity hairstyle lookalikes.

Buying The Right Hair Dryer
NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2006

(CBS) If you’ve ever gone to the store in search of the perfect hair dryer, you may have found yourself overwhelmed by all the styles, shapes and sizes that line the shelves.

Evangelista says the first step is to become familiar with the different types of hair dryers so you can avoid buying something more elaborate and expensive than you need.

A few general ground rules:

  • Dryers with wattages above 1800 watts tend to work best (though there are exceptions, as you’ll see below)
  • Look for a dryer with multiple heat/speed settings (4-6 is pretty standard these days), and for a cool shot button to lock hair in place after it’s been heat styled
  • Make sure your dryer comes with a nozzle attachment, which will concentrate the air as you blow dry
