Remington hair dryers - beauty weapons

The household appliances market in Russia is filled with all kinds of electronics, there is no shortage of brands and names. Each segment has its own leaders in various tops and ratings. But there are companies that are quite popular in Europe and little known in Russia. We will take a closer look at one of them - Remington, choosing from a host of products a device for drying and styling hair - a hairdryer.

Remington history

The American company was born in 1816, but at first it produced not curling irons and stylers, but shotguns and rifles. Then sewing and printing machines appeared under this brand. Only in 1937 did the company take up small household appliances, blowing up the world with a novelty - an electric dry shaver. Such a breakthrough determined the further direction of activity - devices for the care of hair on different parts of the body.

Remington Corp. is the leading haircut and shave market in America, the number one hair care product in the UK, and the best in Australia. At the beginning of the new century, the company entered the Asian and European markets. The reputation of technological, reliable products is confirmed by a guarantee - from two to five years, not every manufacturer is so confident in the quality of their products. In addition to the electric shaver, a women's bikini trimmer, a men's body trimmer, and the world's first hair straightener were born here. The effect of curly strands without a perm is also the idea of ​​the company.

Today Remington is a leader in the world of beauty and fashion. Instead of ratings, they publish catalogs "Autumn-Winter", "Spring-Summer", each of them necessarily contains a novelty.

If you are not yet familiar with the products of this brand, then you do not really follow the trends in the world of fashion and beauty. It's time to fill this gap, take a closer look at the products of this brand, study the recommendations and advice of the best specialists in this field, helping the manufacturer to improve the quality of their equipment.

How to choose the best hair dryer

An electrical device that blows out a stream of air for quick drying, that's what a hair dryer is. Of course, every woman in her beauty arsenal should have this device. The level of innovation today has turned it into an irreplaceable thing that decides the directionality, strength and temperature of the flow, additional attachments have appeared that help not only to dry the hair, but also to straighten, twist, and style.

Varieties of hair dryers

Before heading to a store or to online sales sites, you need to understand for what purpose you need this device. At least three positions in this matter - professional, home, travel. Each linear series has its own parameters:

• home - overall, medium power, several attachments;
• road (compact) - lightweight, foldable, lower performance level;
• professional - powerful, multifunctional.

Perhaps all family members will use the unit, then you should think about the maximum number of attachments and functions.Different hair types in family members suggest different temperature variations and air flow rates.

You also have to choose between a traditional wind blower and a hair dryer. Each modification has its advantages: it is more convenient to use a brush to style it with drying, but for long hair, a conventional dryer will be preferable. For short and not very thick hair, a hair dryer is ideal.

By price

An important component is the price of the goods. A convenient, high-quality, most useful device is not necessarily expensive. If there is no need for styling, straightening and other procedures, there is no need to choose a multifunctional wind blower. The shorter the hairstyle, the less powerful the apparatus will satisfy the needs.

The company's statistics recorded that many functions and attachments that increase the price of goods by 99% are not used. Often, overpaying for professional power and attachments, the understanding comes with a delay - I bought unnecessary functions. There is no need to save on quality; you can lose rich hair in a few years. But it is easy to buy an inexpensive quality item if you make the right choice in terms of functionality.

Power

The most important component in determining quality and price is motor performance. Many people think that this is an indicator of the temperature of the outgoing air, in fact, it is the speed of the air flow discharged. The gradation of capacities by category looks like this:

• 400-1200 - compact road;
• 1200-1800 - home semi-professional;
• 1800-2400 - professional.

The stronger the air supply, the faster the drying process. But this is not always useful and correct - short and thin hairs will dry out, the scalp will suffer. And to make styling in a short time, such drying will not work. From the variety in this case, it is more logical to choose 500-800 watts.

Owners of thick or long curls need dryers more powerful (more expensive), otherwise the process will turn into torture. But even in this case, it is not recommended to chase the most powerful models, units up to 1800 W will do an excellent job without damaging the hair. Professional devices with a power of 2 kW put the head in order in a minimum time, but this is dictated by the specifics of the stylists' work. If, for the sake of speed, you use such a unit every day, the hair will become brittle, it will begin to split. An ideal home appliance for daily use - no more than 1.5 kW.

An important point is the weight of the device. It depends directly on the power: most of the weight is made by the motor, the engine winding. Light weight with the indicated high power indicates poor quality and fragility of the model. Remington produces models with a five-year warranty, you choose - extra grams or extra years of device service.

Material

The electric dryer heats up during operation, therefore the material from which the body is made is important. It should be a high-melting, heat-resistant plastic. Otherwise, the body will begin to melt, if the hot apparatus accidentally falls out of the hands, it may crack.

Remembering that this technique is used in the bathroom with wet hands, you should pay attention to the ease of holding. To prevent it from slipping out of your hands, the handle is provided with rubber inserts, convenient notches and contours. Safety is guaranteed by the back cover on the fan.

The material of which the heating element is made should be taken seriously. The ceramic heater is safer and more gentle to the strands.

Nozzles

If the unit was purchased exclusively for drying, nozzles are not needed at all. Those who like to create new hairstyles every day need to understand the principle of the attachments, their functions.

1. The diffuser is a nozzle with a tapered end and holes inside. Gentle air flow, gentle drying.It will help to create volume, curls, "creative mess". Use the diffuser at the lowest flow rate.
2. The diffuser is active - it has movable elements "fingers", perfectly massages the scalp and makes a lush hairstyle.
3. The concentrator is a cylinder flattened on one side. Provides air to a specific area. The working part of the concentrator must be kept 3 cm from the head. Laying, straightening or twisting individual strands.
4. Straightener - smoothes curls, the "ironing" effect makes the hairstyle smooth.
5. Removable brushes - drying strands.
6. Gentle work of the Respect diffuser - the function itself chooses the ratio of the force and temperature of the flow, so as not to dry out the curls.
7. Some models have a curl straightener, but this is not a budget option.

Functions and modes

The simplest devices today have two temperature settings and two air flow rates. This is often enough at home. Those who do styling and hairstyling on a daily basis will need variability. The more functions there are, the easier it is to choose the optimal performance for your type.

In budget models, speeds and temperatures are dependent, each mode corresponds to a certain speed. In semi-professional and professional devices there is an independent adjustment, it is more convenient, but makes the product more expensive. It makes no sense to buy a device that has less than two speeds and thermal conditions. As a rule, most have three speeds - slow, medium, maximum.

Air temperature

Air flow from 70 ° to 120 ° is emitted from the nozzle. But it is not customary to measure temperature in Celsius. The gradation is applied - lowered, medium, hot options. The weaker the hair, the softer the method is applied. In home wind dryers there are 3 temperature options, in professional ones - 6.

Ionization

The Ioni feature is useful for brittle, fluffy, electrified surfaces. Negative ions reduce the damage caused by hot air and neutralize static electricity. Curls become elastic, shiny, collect less dust.

Thermal protection

Additional function. Useful for those who constantly paint.

Cold air

The function is necessary when styling, using curlers. It is considered a hair fixer. After laying the strand with hot air, you must immediately switch and cool the ends. The sharp temperature drop guarantees long-term preservation of the hairstyle.

Automatic stop

Additional function. The motor turns off by itself if it does not fix movements (put, hang). If you pick it up, it will automatically turn on and continue to work.

Steam humidification

A convenient function is coming into fashion, very effective, but contraindicated for brittle thin strands.

Protection function

In case of overheating or dust entering the protective grill, the fuse is triggered, the device turns off. After stopping, cleaning, cooling the case (about 20 minutes), work can be resumed.

Important additions

Pay attention to the possibility of cleaning the filter. During its service life, it collects dust, fine suspension, protecting the motor from them. The ability to clean will prevent premature overheating of elements and breakage.

 

The length of the cord is very important. The ability to move from the washbasin to the mirror, from the bathroom to a lighter room, independence from the location and the number of outlets gives a long cord. For the Remington brand, this figure ranges from 1.8 to 3 meters.

Before buying, be sure to hold household appliances in your hand to make sure that it is comfortable to hold in your hand, the location of the buttons.
