How to Choose a Hair Dryer: 5 Points Including Airflow, Temperature and Weight

A hair dryer is a tool you use every day. Choosing one that dries quickly and does not tire your hand makes daily care easier to keep up.

5 points for choosing a hair dryer

1. Airflow: the greater the airflow, the faster hair dries and the shorter the time heat is applied. Compare the "m³/min" in the specifications.
2. Temperature settings: being able to choose hot and cool air and temperature levels makes it easier to finish with cool air.
3. Weight: you hold it for a long time every day, so the weight of the unit matters too.
4. Modes: modes such as scalp mode and finishing mode let you use it in different ways.
5. Voltage: check that it is for use in Japan (100V).

MILBON's hair dryer "ELMISTA"

ELMISTA ELUJUDA Hair Dryer is a hair dryer with a mist function. While drying, it delivers serum to the hair on the airflow. It weighs 715g. Please check the product page and the instruction manual for how to use it.

Apply a leave-in treatment before drying

Working a leave-in treatment in before using the dryer makes hair smoother to run your fingers through. Some types also protect hair from heat.

How to dry well

1. Remove water by pressing with a towel
2. Dry from the roots and scalp (ends last)
3. Do not keep the dryer on the same spot; move it back and forth
4. When about 80% dry, direct the air from top to bottom, and finish with cool air
