The Difference Between Professional and Non-Professional Hair Dryers
Itching, dandruff, burning, dry hair are just some of the results due to the use of a poor quality hair dryer. When it comes to the health of the scalp and our hair, it is better to choose certified and safe hair dryers. But how to choose them? Let's make a comparison and notice the difference between professional and non-professional hair dryers.
The hair dryer is not a simple purchase, it is a real investment on which the health of our hair depends .
For this reason, before launching into reckless shopping, it is better to evaluate various types of hair dryers, review their distinctive features and understand the difference between a professional hair dryer and one that is not.
What makes the difference between professional and non-professional hair dryers?
The difference between professional and non-professional hair dryers is given by a series of factors and elements which, while aiming to safeguard the health of the hair and scalp , respond to the needs of professionals who are looking for hair dryers that are also lightweight, ergonomic and energy efficient.
Let's now go into detail and see what really makes the difference between professional and non-professional hair dryers:
>> The Motor – The AC (alternating current) motor is specifically designed for professional hair dryers because it achieves high performance without losing power.
A motor of this type, unlike the one found in a non-professional hair dryer, produces high air pressure which optimizes drying times.
>> Negative ion technology – Together with the motor, it is a further element of difference between professional and non-professional hair dryers.
In fact, negative ion and ceramic technology is essential for drying hair without damaging it: in fact, it is deprived of static electricity without being dried out or damaged.
>> Low energy consumption – An example of this are the hair dryers marked “Eco Friendly Parlux Product”.
The difference between professional and non-professional hair dryers is, in this case, evident: these hair dryers, in fact, while maintaining high power and performance, meet the needs of professionals who, in their salons, need products with low energy and noise consumption.
>> Accessories – A professional tool must be able to be accessorised, depending on your needs, with nozzles of different shapes and sizes, various types of diffusers for curly hair and, if necessary, even external silencers (among these, we mention the Parlux Melody Silencer® ).
>> Adjustable air flow and heat – The difference between professional and non-professional hair dryers also concerns the options available on the tool: for example, a complete hair dryer designed for hair salons and barber shops has a simple button to activate a jet of cold air and set the style.
Heat regulation is, however, essential for working on all types of hair and completing the drying process without damaging it.
>> Built-in silencer – If you’ve ever tried to dry your hair late at night or early in the morning, you’ve probably heard the racket your hair dryer makes.
Well, most professional hair dryers, unlike those that are not, have a built-in silencer, so as to minimize the hum caused by the motor. This is definitely useful even in hair salons, to avoid shouting during a conversation...

A professional hair dryer is an indispensable tool for hair styling and health .
