Hair-brush

Hair-brush for hair is a separate kind of hairdryers, having a cylindrical shape and a nozzle in the form of a comb. The most common nozzle is a circular brush.

There are models of fen-brushes for professional use, but most often in this form are represented household options. However, this does not affect the power range of the instrument. Models of various capacities are presented on the market. The best is the power from 1200 to 2000 watts.

Choosing a model with an average power, ceramic coating nozzles and ionization function - you can not worry about the health of the hair.

Nozzles for hairdryers

The use of a hair dryer exclusively for drying hair does not fully realize its potential. Modern instruments are so functional that in a few minutes they will transform any hair style into stylish styling. To help in this, various nozzles for the hair dryer come. The use of attachments will allow individualizing the laying process - different nozzles serve different purposes, they are selected for a specific type of hair.

When the aim of laying is straightening the hair, creating a radical volume or twisting the tips - the hub will become a loyal ally. The concentrator is a nozzle on the hair dryer, it has a cylindrical shape with fastening at one end and constriction on the other. This nozzle is used to create a directional air flow.

To household fenam concentrator, as a rule, goes in the complete set. However, there are a large number of variations of this nozzle, they differ in the width of the outlet. The narrower the nozzle, the more concentrated the flow of air creates. This is convenient, since it allows you to locally influence specific strands. The most narrow concentrators are found in the arsenal of hairdressers, to use these attachments you need certain skills. Careless application of a narrow concentrator can lead to drying of strands or even skin burns.

Another version of the nozzle for the hair dryer is the diffuser. It is used for the purpose of gentle drying, giving a natural volume and structuring curls. It is worth noting that the diffuser itself will not help much in the wave, it will only emphasize and form curls on curly hair. This nozzle is useful for straight hair. The diffuser is a wide nozzle with bulging "fingers" and a large number of air holes. The air, passing through the nozzle, slightly cools and dissipates. Due to this, soft drying of hair is provided.
Another interesting nozzle for a hair dryer is brashing, which is essentially a round brush. Often in the process of laying a round comb and hair dryer with a hub are used. This is a fairly effective technique, but not very convenient, since both hands are occupied, and controlling the winding of strands is problematic. Solve this problem by using a nozzle-brushing, so the air immediately goes inside the round brush. The most convenient option with mobile brashing, when the brush also rotates automatically.
