Remington hair dryers - weapons of beauty

The home appliance 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. Let's get to know one of them - Remington - by choosing from a host of products a device for drying and styling hair - a hair dryer.

Remington history

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

Remington Corporation products lead the American haircut and shave markets, the UK's number one hair care product, and Australia's #1 all-rounder. With 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 release catalogs "Autumn-Winter", "Spring-Summer", each of them must have 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 close this gap, take a closer look at the products of this brand, study the recommendations and advice of the best experts in this field, helping the manufacturer to improve the quality of its equipment.

How to choose the best hair dryer

An electrical device that emits a stream of air to dry quickly, 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 indispensable thing that solves the issues of direction, strength and temperature of the flow, additional nozzles have appeared that help not only dry the hair, but also straighten, twist, and style it.

Types of hair dryers

Before you go to the 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, road. Each line has its own parameters:

• home - overall, medium power, several nozzles;
• road (compact) - light, 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 options and air flow rates.

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

By price

An important component is the price of the goods. Convenient, high-quality, the most useful device is not necessarily expensive. If there is no need for styling, straightening and other procedures, you do not 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 the goods, 99%, are not used. Often, having overpaid for professional power and nozzles, the understanding comes belatedly - I bought unnecessary functions. It is not necessary to save on quality, you can lose rich hair in a few years. But it is easy to buy an inexpensive high-quality thing if you make the right choice in terms of functionality.

Power

The most important component that determines the quality and price is the performance of the motor. 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 being issued. 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 a more powerful dryer (more expensive), otherwise the process will turn into torture. But even in this case, chasing the most powerful models is not recommended, 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 work of stylists. If, for the sake of speed, you use such a unit daily, the hair will become brittle and begin to split. The ideal option for a home device for daily use is 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 the motor, the winding of the engine. Light weight with the indicated high power indicates poor quality and fragility of the model. Remington releases models with a guarantee of up to five years, you choose - extra grams or additional years of device life.

Material

The electric dryer heats up during operation, therefore the material from which the body is made is important. It should be a refractory heat-resistant plastic. Otherwise, the case will start to melt, if the hot device accidentally falls out of your hands, it may break.

Keeping in mind that this technique is used in the bathroom, holding with wet hands, you should pay attention to the convenience of holding. So that it does not slip out of the hands, rubber inserts, convenient recesses and contours are provided on the handle. Safety is guaranteed by the back cover on the fan.

You should seriously consider the material from which the heating element is made. The ceramic heater is safer and more careful with the strands.

nozzles

If the unit is 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 nozzles, their functions.

1. Diffuser - a nozzle with a narrowed end and holes inside. Gentle air supply, gentle drying. It will help create volume, curls, "creative mess". The diffuser should be used at the minimum flow rate.
2. The diffuser is active - it has movable "fingers" elements, perfectly massages the scalp and makes the hair lush.
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, leveling or twisting individual strands.
4. Smoother - smoothes curls, the effect of "ironing" gives the hairstyle smoothness.
5. Removable brushes - drying strands.
6. The gentle work of the Respect diffuser - the function itself chooses the ratio of the strength and temperature of the flow, so as not to overdry the curls.
7. Some models have a nozzle for straightening curls, but this is not a budget option.

Functions and Modes

The simplest devices today have two temperature regulations and two airflow forces. Often this is quite enough at home. Those who do styling, hairstyles every day will need variability. The more functions, the easier it is to choose the optimal indicators for your type.

In budget models, speeds and temperatures are dependent, each mode corresponds to a certain speed. Semi-professional and professional devices have independent adjustment, which is more convenient, but makes the product more expensive. Buying a device that has less than two speeds and thermal conditions is pointless. As a rule, most have three speeds - slow, medium, maximum.

Air temperature

The air flow from 70° to 120° is issued from the nozzle. But temperature is not measured in Celsius. Gradation is applied - low, medium, hot options. The weaker the hair, the softer the method applied. In home wind dryers, there are 3 temperature options, in professional ones - 6.

Ionization

The "Ioni" function is useful for brittle fluffy covers that are prone to electrification. Negative ions reduce the damage caused by hot air and neutralize static electricity. Curls become elastic, shiny, collect less dust.

thermal protection

Additional feature.It will be useful for those who constantly paint.

Cold air

The function is necessary when laying, using curlers. Considered a hair fixer. Having laid the strand with hot air, you must immediately switch and cool the tips. A sharp temperature drop guarantees a long-term preservation of the hairstyle.

Automatic stop

Additional feature. The motor turns off by itself if it does not detect movements (put down, hang up). If you pick it up, it will automatically turn on and continue working.

Steam humidification

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

Protection function

In case of overheating or dust getting into the protective grid, 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 possibility of cleaning will prevent premature overheating of the elements and breakage.

 

The length of the cord is a very important indicator. The ability to move from the washbasin to the mirror, from the bathroom to a brighter room, independence from the location and number of sockets 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 it in your hand and the location of the buttons.

Afterword

Perhaps the lack of top lists with the pros and cons of each model will upset the reader. But if you treat Remington products as a fashion collection, and the creator positions his consumer electronics in this way, then such comparisons become inappropriate. When creating collections, the company takes into account only the latest innovations in the beauty industry and the needs of the consumer. Therefore, this brand is always high quality, maximum ergonomics, know-how.

Do not be afraid when, when buying a device, the inscription "made in China" is found. Spectrum Brands Corporation, which owns the Remington home appliance brand, is located in Atlanta (USA) and has manufacturing facilities in China. Such a syndicate is a guarantee of European quality.

And one more conclusion from experts from social networks: disputes about the best hair dryers are futile in principle. Every corporation has a super product and consumer goods. And the label has nothing to do with it. A prepared buyer will be able to understand the intricacies of characteristics and indicators. If you carefully read the article, you understand how to make the right choice.
