Over the course of several weeks, I noticed it was taking
longer and longer to blow-dry my hair. Realizing that the dryer was going on
three years old and slowly creeping towards its final fate - to sit in a
landfill somewhere in America, I set out to purchase a new one.
The hunt began at the local box retail store where the
dryers ranged in price from $9.99 to 39.99. Ionic this, cool shot that … it was
all so overwhelming. A closer look at the boxes led to a startling conclusion, each
and every dryer on the shelf was 1875 watts. This had to be some type of
conspiracy. I am no science buff, but I do know that the wattage refers to how
much power the drier pushes out; therefore the wattage refers to how hot the
drier will get. They are ripping people off on a daily basis. The $10 dryer
does the same job as the $40 dryer.
I went home pissed off and began doing my research and found
that dryers range in wattage from 1000-5000. The blow dryer industry is very
tricky with their marketing and will name a 1000-watt dryer the “Turbo 3000” - 3000
has nothing to do with the machine’s performance. You have to pay attention to
the wattage - that is all that matters.
Armed with my new knowledge, I headed to a professional hair
supply store and found a plethora of choices. The drier in my price range was
the Conair Silver Bird Pro, which is 2000 watts and was on sale for $29.99
normally $49.99 - so I scored. The moral
of the story is don’t be fooled by the hype, do your research before you shop
for anything.
Here is to hair blowing in the wind,
